Take Two

I haven't read the other reviews, but I think this show is great. It's funny, has a touch of will they/won't they, and lays out a good mystery per show. It's not serious or heavy, just something fun to watch if you like crime shows and comedies.

Another ABC senseless decision as it only proves the channel doesn't respect their viewers by not finishing a storyline, or the te they invested in front of TV for their show. It is not up to you after a show is aired but to the Audience at the least. If you have a business this is because of the audience like us.

Besides, that the summer ratings will never be as good as the winter's might have been obvious to ABC decision makers.

People, people, why so negative? This isn't a serious show. The premise alone, the idea that an actress gives up Hollywood for private investigation work is preposterous haha. That said the show works. Sure it's follows a similar script as any other cop show, but the two leads, and I'm sorry I can't remember her name or his, but they both excell. They're funny. They have chemistry. It's not 24; walking dead; or ER. But that's ok. I say give it a chance people.

Exactly what I need at times: light comedy with good charachters that have chemistry. The stories are intriguing. Who care if they could be real or not? This is TV! Looking forward to more.

Rachel Bilson plays Sam Swift-an actress whose career is on the skids, but who has gone through rehab to sobriety.

Eddie Cibrian ("LeAnn & Eddie") plays Eddie Valetik-a P.I. who used to be a cop until he was burned in a police corruption case. He was the good guy.

Like many series before it, "Take Two" combines two disparate individuals-one a crime investigator, one something else-and uses the odd couple dynamic to produce comedy and crime solving. And like these other shows, "Take Two" relies heavily on the chemistry between its two main characters for entertainment.

Fortunately, the Bilson-Cibrian connection works well on screen. She is a perky-to-the-point-of-distraction enthusiast and he is a dispassionate veteran with a Ted Danson-like demeanor-the straight man to her comedic talents.

The cast expands to include some welcome additions, including sidekicks for each of the stars. All are interesting characters.

Update 10/1/18: I am upgrading to an "8" due to great episode casting and my overall enjoyment of this series.

Just give the show a couple episodes to get rolling. It is worth it.
