Wonderful Movie

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

After the Killing this show like a torture my eyes,so i couldnt watch more than 4-5 episodes. Her over make-up, extra big eyelashes. Her team is so fake no connection eachother at all. Lead male actor doesnt have any chemistry with her. He looks like grand father. Anyway for me dead show allready.

"Shonda Does a Caper Show!" I'm sure all the women involved in this show have jumped on the MEEETOOO!!! bandwagon. So where does this silly show fit into their self-righteous worldview? (Or any of Rhimes' tv shows, for that matter.) Co-workers having sex. Having sex with clients. Having sex with the bad guys. Having sex with shady characters. Having sex with pretty much anyone who walks across the screen. Shonda just cannot tell a story without the pretty people ending up in bed together - for really no reason at all beyond entertainment. Aren't these the women who were so shocked - SHOCKED - that men in the entertainment business have sex with willing starlets?

Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos) runs an L.A. security and investigation firm with partner Valerie Anderson (Rose Rollins). Danny Yoon and Sophie Novak are her associates. She is shocked when her fiancé Christopher Hall (Peter Krause) turns out to be Benjamin Jones aka Mr. X, a con man who has been taunting her. His lover Margot Bishop (Sonya Walger) and her mother Sybil Griffiths run the international criminal conglomerate, the Kensington Firm. They are later joined by Margot and Ben's long-abandoned daughter Tessa Riley (Philippa Coulthard) and often criminal partner Rhys (John Simm). Tommy Vaughan (T.R. Knight) is Alice's loser wannabe criminal brother. Justine Diaz (Gina Torres) is the FBI agent.Enos and Krause are terrific actors. It's interesting that they're leading this fun twisty Shondaland show. They may not have the highest of sex appeal but they are able to give it depth. The focus skewed more and more towards the criminal side as the show develops. That's really the best side to get at this show. A procedural of Vaughan trying to catch criminals is a different show and not as fun or sexy. This got canceled after two 10-episodes seasons.

This is one of those shows when you first start watching you're now quite sure how it going to go, and if you'll be in for the long hall. But don't be alarmed, it gets good real quick.. and by the middle of season two, it's very good. It's a series with a little bit of an unusual story-line, with writing that is interesting and top notch. And the same goes for the cast.. casting always makes a first rate production, and kudos must go to the group making this ensemble happen (only glitch.. age of the daughter, and age of the actor playing her mother). It really is hoped it is able to continue on with similar quality for at least another couple seasons or more. Recently a couple of favorite shows have ended.. don't wish to loose another.
