Chase: A Perseguição

I really enjoy this show, I don't care what the other reviews say! It's enjoyable, sure it's not anything life changing but it's fun enough, and keeps you guessing. The main characters are likable and you're always rooting for them. Sure there are some other cop shows out there like this, but give this one a shot! Kelli Giddish is great as Annie Frost, I like that this show has a very strong female lead! Cole Hauser is also good! and Jesse Metcalfe does well, I like seeing him in something that isn't like Desperate Housewives or John Tucker Must Die. Amaury Nolasco, and Rose Rollins really round out the team well.

I really hope it doesn't get cancelled!!

But only without the Annie Frost character. We quit watching because we simply could not stand her. The character acted like she was a one woman show and completely ignored her team's safety. She was constantly putting herself and her team in danger and acted like she knew it all, usually with results that could have resulted in someone being seriously injured. Not that it would have mattered if it had been her. If you watch a show, you want it to be realistic and her grandstanding was horrible. Also, that accent was so horrible and when she would look at a victim's relative and say "I'll get the them", we would laugh out loud. Never the team would find the perpetrator but always "her". What a joke. It just got to the point where we quit watching the show. The rest of the cast was superb and I think they should bring the show back without her and it would work. Make Jimmy the team leader and make the team work together like they do in other Jerry Bruckheimer shows.

I'm writing this in February 2021, for posterity I guess - my husband and I both felt Kelli Giddish was a great choice to play the lead in "Chase" - we watched it when it aired, looked forward to it and never understood why it was not picked up for more episodes. A Law & Order SVU marathon was running this 2021 Presidents' Day weekend, some featuring the more recent episodes with Ms. Giddish in the role of the passionate and competent but baggage-carrying "Rollins" character, we thought back to "Chase" and how powerful Ms. Giddish was as the lead in this show. Checking it on IMDB, I had not realized the male lead in "Chase" was played by Cole Hauser (currently a fan favorite in "Yellowstone" as the tough-as-nails and loyal-to-the-end character of "Rip"). I usually grab my remote to change channels ASAP when I see model-esque females cast in powerful action roles due to my inability to suspend disbelief (some CSI episodes come to mind) as I prefer to enjoy the plot-at-hand. However, despite her good looks, we felt Ms. Giddish brought some gravitas/grit to "Chase" that made it quite watch-worthy. Occasionally when I see Ms. Giddish in Law & Order SVU, though I admire her ability to play the "Rollins" role to which she has been assigned and am glad for her to have been chosen for a coveted role in that iconic and long-lasting franchise,I think it's unfortunate that we did not get to see her be able to flourish as the powerful character she played in "Chase," and the show's cancellation also put an end to the interesting and informative plots involving Texas Rangers. Ms. Kiddish appeared to be more than powerful and competent enough to play lead in this well-written, well-directed, and well-cast show; its cancellation appears to have been related more to "connections" than quality. Enjoy watching what episodes may be available to you.

I have to admit the show started a little slow. Now, my family is fully engaged. Great cast and good writing has been the key. I like the way the characters are now be coming more complex. Anne Frost is really becoming a charter with passion and heart. I am looking forward to the growth of this cast. Bottem line, the show is just fun to watch! With all the copy cat CSI 1,2,3, NCIS, NCIS LA, Etc, it is nice to add a little Texas twist. I also think it is nice to have a strong leading lady. One the comes across very down to earth without to much ego. My 11 year old likes this show as well and it is one the whole family can really get into.

I often am surprised when certain shows garner low votes on IMDb, as I definitely feel there are worse than Chase on television.

One commentator added that she felt uncomfortable with many shows on TV due to the level of their sexual content. Sweet lord Americans, is this all you're worried about? After all, Marshall Annie Frost goes through Chase following the crimes of heinous individuals who sometimes shoot entire families (this is not necessarily shown, but is implied in cutaways). Meanwhile Annie tracks down the bad guys, and often, when possible... shoots them dead. So let us sum of the moral compass of this "family show" as another reviewer termed it. Bad guys sometimes do really bad things, so it's a good thing when they die, and even better if you can shoot them.

I do feel the aims and intentionality of the show's protagonists are just, but to worry over the sexual content? Really? By the way, two members of the team are sleeping with each other, and the two main leads, Annie and Jimmy, are growing ever-closer to the detriment of Jimmy's already-strained marriage. So- yeah, no sex, just home-wreckers and morning-after scenes with fornicators. Point being, these are not detractors, per se, but they neither elevate, nor sink the real content; violence should be the truer issue of concern to persons with concern for moral issues. Troglodytes.
