Common Law

I barely watch new shows when they come on t.v, because I usually wait for them to come on Netflix, because I hate commercials but I digress, but this show really caught my attention from the previews. It starts out a bit slow as every new series does, but by 15 minutes in, it draws you....many shows don't catch your attention that quick. This show is the perfect mix of drama, comedy, suspense, & action. The actors are perfect in their role, not over the top or trying to hard, the actors fit perfectly into to the characters they portray. The two main characters Michale Ealy and Warren Kole are a great match, and not to mention hot!!. This show is definitely here to stay! I predict 5-8 seasons, if you happen to be home on Friday night, and you're looking for a good show to enjoy, Common Law if definitely that show.

I LOVE USA Network. I mean lets face it, Psych, Burn Notice, Suits, White Collar, etc. But they've also had a few horrible shows. Covert Affairs anyone? HORRIBLE! I forced myself to watch that and still couldn't pay attention to its horrible plot. Either way, I'm getting off topic.

Common Law is an AMAZING show. Not too many shows/movies can make me bust out laughing while I'm watching them by my lonesome. This, however, does an amazing job at that.

Of course the overall plot has been done before; what hasn't, it's TV. You're bound to run out of ideas sooner or later. The white guy with a black sidekick or vice versa has been already, but regardless of that, this does a great job at entertaining. I can't wait to see more.

Overall, Common Law is a great show, great characters, as far as I can tell from the first 2 episodes, great relationships between the two main characters and the Couples Counseling thing is just hilarious.

DEFINITELY WORTH THE TIME!

I really enjoy this show. I was reluctant at first because it seems like almost every time I like a show it ends up canceled. But the previews for this captured my attention. I really enjoy the combination of comedy, drama, and action. One thing I need to stress is that my husband is a little picky when it comes to TV and movies and he really likes this one too. It's one of the few shows we can watch together. For those who complain that it isn't realistic, watch the news if you want realism. This is fictional TV, meant to entertain, if you're being picky about things in it that aren't realistic, you're taking it too seriously. It's meant to be fun and it is. The two leads are perfectly suited to their roles and have a great on screen chemistry.

I really hope there's a season 2!!!

I must say I was thoroughly disappointed that it was canceled after a single season. What I actually found very strange was the fact that even after all the episodes had aired, here on IMDb it still said - voting starts after broadcast ! Probably that is what killed it. I see all kinds of really stupid police shows, Rogue to name just 1, going into second season. But then I may not be considered a normal person by majority of native US viewers, being 1st generation Indian immigrant !May be if the makers had added some sleaze or foul language or maybe even a werewolf character it would have done better ! But then that is MHO.I really hope and pray they revive it. Apart from the 2 detectives the psychiatrist plays her character brilliantly. Of course I have seen her in British serials so my judgment may a bit clouded !

I thought it was refreshing. The pilot started a little slow but gain entertainment value. Give it a chance. It's characters relationship are much like real life couples whether their friends or intimate males and females. They're crazy and remember it's just a show not a serious dramatic TV show like Law & Order. It's meant to be what it is; funny, goofy at times, but overall entertaining. The fact that some reviews dislike the unrealistic scenario when the dog sniffs the heroin in the fish tank are taking the show too serious or too scientific. While other shows are based on the trendy CSI scientific approach to solve homicide cases are still intriguing and worthy of quality show production, it's refreshing to have a balance. A funny detective show like Common Law is just what I enjoyed about the overall options of shows viewers can choose.
