King

This series is excellent for viewers who don't require a high octane, non-stop action thriller! This ensemble of quality actors is excellent because it provides an intriguing look @ actual police procedures that Hollywood typically ignores in favor of fantastically ridiculous, over the top representations of how crimes are actually investigated! These screenplays, locations, dialogs and locations are more authentic than anything I've previously viewed. PRIME VIDEO doesn't offer the opportunity to rate this great series....thus it doesn't offer customer ratings....shame on AMAZON because this is a series to not be missed! I've really enjoyed season one and half of season two. Give this wonderful show a chance!

I just caught this series in basic-cable syndication. Amy Price-Francis was perfectly cast as a smart, humanly flawed wise-ass detective. The crimes were solidly written; her team was mostly a plus, even though "Martin" was used too little.

Those elements would have warranted a higher rating and a longer run but for all the romantic subplots that burdened our star, and often exhausted my patience. Will she and Danny get pregnant? Will his gambling prove their undoing? Will one of her other admirers become hubby #4, or a steppingstone along the way? ALL those dangling tendrils detracted from the main stories and diminished Price-Francis' character.

I hope Ms. Price-Francis has been featured in more worthy vehicles since this one ended. I'll be looking for them.

Homicide detective Jessica King (Amy Price-Francis) is sharp and great at her job. She has been ostracized for rooting out corruption in the force. Her personal life isn't much better. She and her husband are having marital problems; getting pregnant, outside love interest, and his gambling problem. She's taken back to create Major Crimes Task Force to deal with special cases. The constant visual joke is her height. She's always wearing heels no matter how much it hurts, and she towers over the chief in charge. That always brings me a smile.

It's a pretty good procedural. Amy is a good solid actress. She commands the screen, but other than a few others, there is a lack of solid actors. It lasted 2 seasons. For a Canadian production without any US support, it's probably as much as can be expected.

This is the cringiest show. Not the actual storyline, but the characters. The King character is this ridiculous woman who acts wise-assy and dresses like a clown. I guess the writers are trying to make her seem edgy and cool, but she comes off as cringy. She (Amy Price-Francis) is, in my opinion, a below basic actor. All of the supporting characters are also silly. The writers of this series also suck. The scene in S1 E1 where she is first introduced to the new task force, that she is in charge of, after spending over a year answering phones, is so stupid. They're all discussing the case, when all of a sudden, personal questions/ comments are being made about King's marital status. I can see why this series died. And I'm only 20 mins in on S1 E1. Lol. I'll watch another episode or two to give it a fair chance, maybe it will grown on me....

Love it! Please give me more! I'm in love with Jessica King! My kind of woman, smart, attractive, and type A! Very sad about her marriage! I really think that she wants it to work out, yet neither her or her hubby want to put in the work! They have long hours with their jobs and don't have enough time for each other! King solves all of her cases, largely by listening to her colleagues, intuition, and her gut! Really wish that she and all people have a more stable home life. Kudos to those that can rise above it! This show really has everything, IMO, and I really like Jessica's sister! Taylor is another great character!
