I finally watched at lunch today and I think I might be glad I waited and didn’t ready anything about it first.

I really enjoyed it. Another suprise for me here. I seem to be watching new shows while holding my breath these days. I have always liked Tamblyn and Adam Goldberg is hilarious. I am looking forward to watching again.

I’m HOOKED! The duos of Tamblyn/Renner and Perrineau/Goldberg are excellent. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen on the upcoming episodes.

I enjoyed the pilot a lot. But it was a teensy bit awkward. I am excited to watch where it goes next week.
And I also wish the poll had included an “undecided” option.

I watched, but am on the fence as to my future with it. I will watch next week for sure.

I liked Amber Tamblyn and her character, but some of the others are too unusual. The two partners, one of whom wears a vest all the time and the one who wants to die, got old very quickly. They have to give them something a more and cut back on their current quirks.

The bible quoting cop cop killer (maybe or maybe just an accessory?) is a cliché.

Questions: Was the dead cop doing what Ambler is now supposed to do, i.e. investigate the squad for the sergeant?

Also, where have I seen the female uniformed officer before? She only had a couple scenes, but I recognize her from somewhere.

Also, I didn’t vote in the poll since there was no option like: It was okay fro a pilot, but I a not committed yet.

I am a huge fan of Amer Tamblyn, and watched it hopefully. I think there’s potential there, but the pilot just didn’t draw me in. It was kinda funny, kinda interesting, and the story was just okay. I get the feeling that this is the type of show that takes a few episodes to reach its stride, however, so I put it on a season pass for the time being. We’ll see how it goes.

I think this is a great new show. Unusual? Yes!… and THAT IS the draw. Amber Tamblyn is a wonderful little actress and I knew she would only lend
her talents to a show that would be interesting and fun… and DIFFERENT!
I cannot wait to see the exploits of the other characters again. More than 2 thumbs up for this one!!!!!

I really liked it. I’m usually not into cop/detective shows, but this one, Life, and Castle have won me over. I think it has to do with humor and actors.

I don’t know if it will be a permanent addition to my DVR, but I’m definitely going to check it out again. Tehre were a few things (sometimes weird camera angles and the very strangely cryptic sarge-but just when he was being cryptic loved him when he was being sarcastic) that just seemed really weird and I didn’t like. But, overall, it had humor (I think you’re mistaken about what the “P” in NYPD stands for) I nearly fell out. And it was an interesting premise. I never watched Joan of ARcadia but I liked the girl – there were only a couple of times where she looked like she was about 12 but other than that liked her. I definitely set it to record next week, but I think this one will be a keeper.
