Very Cool!!!

Best movie ever!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Okay, I have read all the books and came to know about this TNT series when I was on my last book. I was pleasantly surprised that how good the show was. The chemistry between King and Maxwell shown in the show was very close to the actual chemistry portrayed in the books. It was a very good show and I would have liked to see a bit more of it so kind of gutted that TNT has already pulled the plug on it. They should have given it at least one more season because in this season we did see how Sean lost his job but there was not much back story on Michelle and how they became King and Maxwell. The episode with JT Maxwell was my favourite, it was not a storyline from books but still the addition of JT in the mix was very good. It is annoying to see that some shows are on air for multiple seasons but an entertaining show like this has already been axed. It was a great watch and to see two of my favourite book characters on TV screen.

If you like Jon Tenney on "The Closer" with Kyra Sedgwick, it is finally nice for him to get paid his dues and get his own show with Rebecca Romijn(The X-Men) as two US Secret Service agents who lost their jobs and are now private detectives.As they manage to get the job done. Despite the interference of Michael O Keefe as Agent Frank Rigby who is by the book but can't help by have a grudging appreciation for the two protagonists and Chris Butler as younger agent, Darius Carter who seems to more like the two than his older by the book partner.Still it is so far a pretty good show as glad to see Jon Tenney get his dues paid for. And rewarded in the process. While Rebecca Romijn seems to be more eye candy as she is the weakest link of the cast. No offense.

I have watched the first two episodes of King & Maxwell, and I feel the foundation has been laid for a very enjoyable series. The action takes place in D.C., providing an interesting backdrop to the action. The titular characters are ex-Secret Service agents who are now partners in a PI firm. King and Maxwell are self-described as a "man of words" and a "woman of action". Their relationship includes friendly bickering and teasing, and a sexual tension. Though they both might be described as world-weary, there is an energy that is driven by their interactions.Of course every protagonist must have an antagonist. The thorn in K&M's side is the FBI, personified by the cantankerous Agent Ribgy (and his sidekick Agent Carter).In the first episode, we encounter the "idiot savant" Edgar Roy, who Maxwell invites--off the cuff--into the firm. When we find in episode 2 that he is a series regular, it is a happy surprise. His character, a la Rainman, injects humor, unpredictability and counterpoint to the team's gung-ho style.So far, I have found the comedic vignettes at the beginning of the episodes enjoyable. And the ending of each episode has been satisfying. K&M are results-oriented and willing to bend the rules. They might even break a few. They tackle problems and threats head-on. They have serious skills with weapons and in hand combat. But the comedy elements in this show are so strong that the tone is fairly light. In fact, I am tempted to describe the show as "sweet" because the characters are allowed to show their sensitive sides. I hope TNT can keep this show on the air. They have assembled some real talent in cast and crew. Let me finish by saying that the stylistic shooting and editing in the first two episodes did not go unnoticed. Can they keep continue with these high standards?

This is the first time I've written a review of anything on IMDb, but seeing the lack of reviews for this show, I decided someone needs to say this.The show is about two former law enforcement agents (former Secret Service and otherwise), King and Maxwell, who are trying to run a private investigative firm together and don't quite make enough money to pay the bills. Cliché.Their investigations cross paths with two officious FBI agents, annoying the viewers with weakly-acted accusations of either interfering with an investigation or perpetrating the crime, in spite of proving themselves time and time again. The word 'cliché' doesn't begin to describe the poor writing and acting of these two guys. If it wasn't for the strong acting of the leads, these guys would be a deal breaker for this series.A savant-of-sorts ends up joining the team to help them solve puzzles that are supposedly too difficult for anyone else to solve. This would be interesting if the puzzles weren't so mundane-- tracing phone calls, cracking an alarm system and (wait for it . . . another cliché) mentally absorbing their financial records and finding out that they need to make more money and that they owe taxes. The bad writing is acted out by Ryan Hurst. Given his performances in Sons of Anarchy, I would expect him to improve over time, but someone needs to sit the writers down in front of a real Savant or two. They can't decide whether the character is supposed to babble and grunt or use perfect grammar and pronunciation.It's difficult to judge a series based on the first two episodes, and it could get a lot better once the actors and writers find their feet and fill a few problems. But if they keep going the way these two episodes went, this show won't last long. I would rather watch someone scratching a chalkboard.
