It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I know producers have to market their shows, but I always find it disheartening when they deviate so much from the author's description of the characters. This show is a perfect example. A great, telegenic group, but not a single one resembles the characters in Patterson and Petro's books. Lindsay Boxer is a tall blonde from California, not a tall brunette with a Texas accent. Claire Washburn is described at a LARGE, jovial "earth mother" and mother of teens, not a thirty-something like the actress who portraits her in the show. Cindy Thomas is blonde ditz with curly hair, not a ginger. At least Jill Bernhardt is not too far off course, although she isn't as well described as the other characters. I'd have pegged her more an "old money" WASP, but not as pasty as Laura Harris. And don't even get me started with Warren Jacobi, who is most likely not a middle aged Black male. However, since such dramatic "license" has been pretty common since casting Denzel Washington as Gray Grantham, who was definitely not Black but made for great box office, such liberties are to be expected.

Women's Murder Club was the good surprise of the season.it's well-written, well-acted, has beautiful cinematography and engages the viewer intelligently.In other words, it's a far cry from the umpteen bad shows that the networks introduced this year.Sadly, it was never promoted heavily by ABC and thus still hasn't reached its full commercial potential. Regardless, it's been doing extremely well in the ratings and won its night regularly. What more can a network want? The characters are all very real and engaging and while the personal stories have a danger to fall into soapy, they've so far remained engaging and have been balanced very well with the "crime of the week".The creators have all been fired by the network, and I hope the new people ABC will bring in won't turn this into another unwatchable soap opera.

I thought there were more than enough murder shows on TV with all the CSIs and Law & Orders, etc.. But I like Angie Harmon, so I gave this new show a shot. I was really impressed with the twist of the "women's club" -- A basic stereotype is that men are more emotionally detached, so they can better deal with the horrifying nature of this kind of police work. This show places women in these hard roles, with all their emotions still running. That causes a different dynamic, allows for a new twist on the homicide scene. WMC ends most episodes with these 4 women gathering to check in with one another, to deal with the emotional difficulties of the job and life in general. It adds a soft touch, shows the harsh reality of the homicide beat, and makes the characters more real and likable.

Tonight's was the first episode I've seen and I must say that I'm not all that impressed, either with the acting or the sets. I spent nearly 40 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, and rode BART for several years. This show has the trains AND the platforms (stations) looking much more like the New York subway, with their corrugated sheet metal trains and hard metal benches, instead of the aerodynamic, sleek trains and upholstered seats that BART uses. The BART logo is wrong, and the Dept. of Transportation isn't called Dept. of Transportation in California...it's called CalTrans. Period. The inside of the police "precinct" (their work) looks like something out of NYPD Blue with the lights turned down. SFPD doesn't call their police stations "precincts"...they call them "stations". If the producers want to make this a believable show, then use believable words that convey the feeling of being a part of one of the greatest cities in the US...neh, the world.
