Killer Women

I was just writing someone about how my wife and I enjoy this show and I came onto its IMDb page to check on spelling when I find out this excellent show has been canceled!! This is a disaster and a sign the people at ABC haven't got the brains God gave a goose.

The plots were not at all bad for this kind of show, but by far the truly special thing about this series was Tricia Helfer's performance. My wife and I tuned in, but when I saw the story revolved around a woman Texas Ranger, I was sure I was going to have to leave it to my wife to watch by herself. I've been watching TV for about 50 years and I've never seen a woman successfully pull off the attitude that kind of law enforcement role demands. I was truly shocked to watch Helfer do exactly that and immediately became a fan. Do you people really not realize how unique her performance is? I remember her from Battlestar Galactica but never really got into that show. I'm now sorry I missed it as this woman is phenomenally good. She kind of reminds me of a slightly better version of Famke Janssen which is saying a lot as I've always especially liked Famke's work.

But it wasn't just Helfer's work that made this series a gem, all the supporting cast was in it 100%. No, I'm going to miss this show and find myself dying to vent at ABC for canceling it.

I'll admit the pilot episode was overly dramatic, over acted, and hard to believe. 4 people in a car in a confined space being shot at by a dozen automatic weapons and nobody gets hit? Maybe that's just someones idea of attracting viewers (doesn't work for me) or something, but the next episode wasn't so cheesy. I'll continue to watch until it goes south again. There's also a back story going on concerning her marriage that is interesting. I'm interested in seeing where that's going as well. Since I live in Texas it's interesting to see if they get their facts concerning the state accurate. So far they have. In summary, there's enough there to keep my interest I'll give it a few more episodes before I totally decide if I'll keep watching or not.

Watered down abc action plus tricia helfer is as talented as she is beautiful killer women would work as a movie if it was r rated renegade cop vs cartel faire

It's 3 episodes in. I'm on the fence and the show is canceled. I'm not really surprised, and I won't shed a tear.

Molly Parker (Tricia Helfer) is a tough smart Texas Ranger. However her personal life is a mess. She's trying to divorce her powerful abusive politician husband Jake Colton (Jeffrey Nordling). Her new boyfriend is DEA agent Dan Winston (Marc Blucas). She's living with her brother's family (Michael Trucco, Marta Milans), but their family is having problems too. This show has Molly investigating cases with female killers.

Tricia Helfer looks like a supermodel playing a cowgirl cop. Normally, TV shows always want to sex up their lady cops. The problem is that she's just too sex up. And I don't know about this gimmick of only female killers. Does she ONLY investigate women? It's too much of a gimmick, and so is the show.

The pilot had a very silly action sequence. Molly and Dan goes to Mexico and Terminator a drug cartel. It's not a good start.

My husband and I liked the show, all it needs is a little character development. In our opinion it's tons better then many we've seen that continue today. Depending on the next few shows will tell whether it's a keeper or not. Though discouragingly enough, it won't matter how many people like it if the networks decide not to produce it next year. For now my husband and I feel it's worth watching for a few more shows to see how the characters develop. We like the fact that it had good action, good pacing, good suspense and a realistic venue. We liked the dichotomy of the main character being able to be both sexy and very feminine woman but also professional and tough.
