You won't be disappointed!
Instant Favorite.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
View MoreIf you want to watch a gripping story line, incredible characters played out by engrossing actors, you need to watch the 1995 first season of Murder One. This is the real deal. Murder in the First was boring from the get go. The characters were weak and self-absorbed. The acting was poor and the players appeared bored. That Hildy character was not believable for even one moment- please with the single mom shtick. Boring story line with a techie character that needed to be slapped regularly. By the fourth episode I was gone. The defense attorney was a big blowhard-- no Daniel Benzali for sure. Hopefully there will be no second season; but alas I fear there will be. Another loser for TNT. Watch Murder One if you get the chance. It is compelling.
View MoreThere are a few things going for this new crime drama revolving around the SFPD and a tech billionaire. 1. San Francisco is a happening city now and it's always interesting to show the contrast between the homelessness and despair and the dizzying high tech boom. The last few SF based shows have been cancelled like Alcatraz and 9 Lives of Chloe King. Hopefully this series showcases more of the scenic beauty of the city and not just the seamy side. 2. Sympathetic looking leads Kathleen Robertson and Taye Diggs and a multi ethnic supporting cast are watchable and not abrasive like some crime dramas. 3. After 4 episodes the central villain? played by Tom Felton or Malfoy from Harry Potter is an interesting and enigmatic character. At first he seemed to be still too teenage looking (like the rest of the Harry Potter cast) to be effective in his role but he is actually quite good. Since Steven Bochco is behind this I'm going to give this one a chance.
View MoreI agree with the previous reviewer. The writing is forgettable, trite. It seems to be a cheap take-off of True Detective, which was well written and mesmerizing. I was excited at first because the bad guy was almost a caricature of ultimate evil and spoiled brat. Then I realized they intended to drag it out to the entire season for one murder and I bailed. I don't think the acting is bad but why watch if the writing doesn't go anywhere? Someone else said that the feeling was dated and I agree.....a little too dark, a little too melodramatic, and way too same ole, same ole. Usually I like TNT shows but this one didn't do it for me.
View MoreThis summer I've been watching the new TNT series "Murder in the 1st" and I must say that creator Steven Bochco has this series keeping viewers on the edge of their seat. A single murder case starts it off only the case leads to a world of sex, drugs, and cover up beat it all it happens to be tied to a young rich computer business genius young boy! The setting of the series is in the city by the bay the scenes and images of the golden gate bridge and San Francisco are beautiful. Those images treat the viewer to a good sight after the eyes are salted with blood and murder scenes. Leading the way are two S.F. detectives Terry English(Taye Diggs)and divorced mother Hildy(the sexy Kathleen Robertson it's nice to see her getting work again I remember her Beverly Hills 90210 days). Thru it all the case takes twist with new characters and new leads and a pilot named Bill Wilkerson(the terrific Steven Weber)seems to play a supporting connection to it all. Overall the series is a pretty good suspense and drama thriller one that changes week to week with new things as hidden secrets are uncovered this all makes for an interesting watch!
