Guilty Party

I think this show is a fantastic quirky must see and lol funny....hard to find in today's overwhelmingly flooded television market. If you love to laugh, have a quirky and sometimes dark sense of humour you will thoroughly enjoy this show. If you can't handle a female lead being hilarious with magically funny written scenes with great supporting acting roles then maybe you need to look in the mirror and realise you've missed the point and the fun!!

Not sure why this gets so many bad reviews. The acting is excellent. There is good character development and the story is both intriguing and funny. I wasn't expecting to like it because I couldn't picture Kate Beckinsale in this role, but she's good and it's a very solid show.

I have never seen a show that resembles this one - totally unique. I have no idea which shows my reviewers below are referring to....... my guess, they did not view the series at all......nothing on the market like it and I watch a l;ot ha ha ha.....

I will say, the loss of one start is because it appears to take a couple of episodes to get its positioning and identity clear but once it does, it flies. This is my experience with the majority of series but this is not a simple plot or genre so you will need to give it time. I struggle to define the genre - Perhaps black comedy with a worthy mystery and character evolution thrown in. It is absolutely hilarious and I have to admit I don't like many comedies. It is a contemporary 'Murder In The Building' vibe with very quirky characters played by a talented cast. Kate Beckinsale is of course the stand out but there are other very strong contenders with complex characters that are evolving before our eyes.

Each episode is fast paced and tightly scripted, adding new elements to the mystery. We are at Episode 5 and I still have no idea who the murderer is and the paternity aspect is similarly not obvious at all. I appreciate this. Nothing worse than picking the murderer in the first episode and watching the obvious clues play out.

If you enjoy this sort of genre you will not be sorry to give this creative and memorable series a go. But please review it for what it is not for something it isn't and was never intended to be.

... and I really like it. Kate, why did you do so many Underworld etc. Movies? You are really funny! Watched this one episode after having seen Jolt, which I really enjoyed because of Kate's funny side. Well done, looking forward to more Guilty Party and funny Kate in particular. So, my review is still too short, so I will gladly repet myself, Kate Beckinsale is a talented comedic actress who can also do action, obviously.

There is way worse out there.

You can tell just by the trailer it's not going to be some great drama whodunit so why critique it that way?

I think it is entertaining and there are parts of it that made me laugh. The lead actor is funny. I think it is worth the time.
