Overrated and overhyped

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Finally a great new show. The premise is a producer of a news show is friends with a lawyer. This shows behind the scenes of producing a news show utilizing contacts. Also shows how things change on the fly. Actors and actresses are terrific. The lineup is great with some relatively new faces who portray their characters very well. There is mystery, romance, subterfuge all rolled into this show. I do believe that you have to watch several episodes in order to understand all the dynamics involved between the characters. This season focuses on a long time love affair between Jake ( the lawyer) and his clients wife. The client was arrested for murder only to be released and Jake arrested for the murder when in actuality the client may have had a hand in the murder along with the victims brother. Give this show a chance. You will be happy that you did.

I'm looking for a replacement to the Good Wife now that show has ended and thought I would give this one a shot. This sadly is not it. The cast is fine as are the direction and the show clearly has a reasonable budget but the premise and the script really don't amount to much at all. We have lots of frenetic energy and people running around doing stuff but it is all of no real interest primarily I guess because none of the characters connect in any way with the audience. I could not find a single character to care about or have any real empathy for. The person killed in the first episode never gets explored and the alleged murderer is never more than a blank sheet himself. All in all meh. I will stop around for one more episode but after that, I am out.

This show wants to be a lot of things (behind-the-scenes drama, white- collar romance, mystery, legal procedural), and it might succeed at some of those if it weren't so dedicated to being a laughable soap -- and a girlie one at that. What do I mean by "girlie"? I mean that every woman on this show is self-empowered, while every guy on this show is either a wimp, a schemer, a liar, and/or is trying to figure out how to get the women to give him something. It's a feminist's dream, at the expense of any believability whatsoever. The only even remotely redeeming factor is that the mystery is actually pretty good. Unfortunately you have to wade through a lot of raw sewage to watch it. Not worth it for me.

This show can be a great one if they keep up the tempo from the first episode. I have not seen this tempo in events and the script since West Wing. Piper Perabo is as usual brilliant and this is a show where I really look forward to the 2nd episode. The only thing I am afraid for is the tempo slowing down and the drama taking over too much. Looking at the first episode I feel there is a risk the writers wants the show to be more sexy. But it does not need that. Just give us what you gave us in the first episode and all will be fine.If you like a fast-paced actiondrama, you will like Notorious. I hope we get a full season even though reviews generally have been poor.
