It is well-written, with interesting and endearing characters and decent plots.
It's generally well-directed with almost none of the shaky-cam dreck that's making audiences flee network TV by the millions.
It's decently acted and you can tell that the producers are trying to actually make a good show, not sleepwalk through by using every cliché known to TV producers.
It's the only show I watch on ABC (which should give up its "Start Here" campaign, because that's exactly what I do. I watch Women's Murder Club and I go away.
Best of all. It's a fun watch not just for women!!
it's well-written, well-acted, has beautiful cinematography and engages the viewer intelligently.
In other words, it's a far cry from the umpteen bad shows that the networks introduced this year.
Sadly, it was never promoted heavily by ABC and thus still hasn't reached its full commercial potential. Regardless, it's been doing extremely well in the ratings and won its night regularly. What more can a network want? The characters are all very real and engaging and while the personal stories have a danger to fall into soapy, they've so far remained engaging and have been balanced very well with the "crime of the week".
The creators have all been fired by the network, and I hope the new people ABC will bring in won't turn this into another unwatchable soap opera.
It's very well-written, has an attractive cast and directors that don't shake the camera for no reason.
What more would you want? Just those facts alone make it one of the best new shows on TV this year.
It's actually engaging, has interesting characters and it's a pleasure to watch it.
The only drawback is the awful title, which ABC would be well-inspired to change into "Murder Club".
Otherwise, thumbs WAY up in a season of Bionic Women and Pushing Daisies.
