PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

SnoopyStyle NYPD detective Laura Diamond (Debra Messing) has rambunctious twin boys and divorcing from her husband Jake Broderick (Josh Lucas). Of course, he's her boss. Billy Soto (Laz Alonso) and Meredith Bose (Janina Gavankar) become detective partners and later personal partners. Max Carnegie (Max Jenkins) is Laura's irreplaceable helper. In the last half of the first season, Frankie Pulaski (Meg Steedle) joins the squad. In the second season, Frankie is gone and they get a new captain in Nancy Santiani (Callie Thorne).This show starts horribly. The kids are terribly annoying. As much as I like Debra Messing, I can't stand her character's life. The show gets better as the kids get phased out. Her private life isn't front and center as much. I like the addition of Frankie to add some light likability. Then she gets dropped in favorite of another annoying character, Santiani. Eventually, her character gets explained and then dropped. At its best, the show is nothing more than a passable police procedural. The problem is that it's not even at that passable level for most of its run. A two season run is more than what it deserves.

starstonova This show doesn't get enough credit, it's an awesome family/cop show and my mum and i bond over it. It's got terrific plot lines and is holding up its plot much better than shows like castle or blacklist. its dumb that NBC isn't going to order any more episodes , frankly , it's probably the best show they've got. I feel like lately a lot of shows are just losing plot lines so fast, they become boring and severely tiring to watch. Mysteries of Laura literally has almost everything :its funny, serious, it's a cop show , it's got romance, friendship, good feminism, and its bad ass entertainment !

overminded Having seen the original series "Los Misterios de Laura," from Spain, I was wondering what NBC's version would be like. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally saw the show. I enjoyed the fact that the original structure stayed the same (single mom detective having her ex as her boss and managing work and home life at the same time) while the characters were adapted to match the U.S. environment. The mixed reviews show how difficult it is to adapt from an original written for a completely different cultural setting. As with the original version, I like following the little clues that lead to resolving the cases intermingled with Laura's personal life conflicts. I am looking forward to seeing its future episodes.

srhamendola this show contains the comedy to make it relatable, the drama of a crime/ CSI type show, and the romantic drama/angst. best of all worlds and perfect for everyone to watch and find something interesting about . Debra messing at her best! there is crime and mystery to every plot, plus debra messing's relatable character plus the added office and romance drama, best of all worlds. not too much like csi and crime like that is too realistic/ will gibe you nightmares, but enough to progress the plot and really get caught up in the mystery story line. adding the romance into this show makes it perfect for all genres. seeing the dead bodies doesn't freak me out too much and there is so love angst in the show to make up for it, debra messing as a multifaceted character at her best!
