ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
KungFuJosh There's not a lot of great television these days. It feels like everything is "reality" TV, getting worse and worse, and farther from reality.It's nice to finally see a show being creative AND entertaining. Another reviewer mentioned that the concept of couples therapy isn't realistic in this environment and it would never happen in real life. Welcome to television! Nothing on it is real, that's why it's entertaining. It's called the "suspension of disbelief." I learned that from Howard Stern. Anyway. The only thing that SHOULD be real on TV is the News, and hopefully, one day it will be real again.The couples therapy is a funny take on the action/dramedy dynamic seen in Analyze This!, The Sopranos, etc... The "couples" aspect of it is a nice twist, and the characters/actors play off of each other very well. The show started off well and has gotten even better as the episodes develop. I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes as this show continues.
ericanicole94 I loved this show by far my favorite show and there's only been two episodes I can't wait for the next episode I hope this show stays on for a long time best show on TV they are not uptight they act like people who are around each other a lot act like brothers or sisters and they wouldn't split them up because they are the two best detectives together anyone who doesn't get that didn't watch the second episode I really loved this show its not like psych that's about a fake psychic its like the mentalist common law is a buddy cop show they act like my sister and I act the yelling and fighting they are just like brothers and of course there's murder its a detective show duh
Scott What a very dull, long drawn out first episode. with some good editing this episode could have been shortened and maybe the pace would have picked up. The plot was simple and you could tell who did it from the very beginning. I found the characters too similar to other duos on better shows. This is "Psych" with a different title. The bickering between the 2 characters got annoying right from the start and didn't let up. Not one of USA's better shows and hopefully it will disappear to make room for something much better. I didn't understand the premise of why these 2 characters were sent to couples counseling. If they are such good detectives why not break them up and partner them with someone else.
Sfver Let's start with the positive; it has potential.Normally I take my shows in the watch it from start to finish with no breaks (very engrossing). Start and stop, then start again (not great, but not too bad, so I do come back to it). Then there's the start, stop, and probably won't bother watching anymore episodes (and possibly don't even finish the first episode!).This falls in the middle. I did stop watching at the 13min mark, (slightly wooden dialogue and peripheral characters), but once past that it does pick up again, on an above average pace.With reference to the 'odd couple' (and the shows' précis) it manages to tread a fine line (will have to watch more episodes to be certain), between maintaining the banter between the two leads, but without dwelling on it too much to make the show work, and thereby irritating you and turning it into a one-track horse run (you know those shows; they find one particular angle that they can lever and keep re-using it, show after show after show, and nauseatingly ad-nauseum!).So, given the fact that it's an USA network show, we'll possibly be seeing quite a bit more of the new millennium's odd couple!
