First show I'm truly sad about the cancellation
22 March 2013
I...I just don't know what to say. I thought the show was absolutely awesome. I have a feeling it has to be the shoddy marketing which killed it's numbers. Two million an episode, seriously? This show deserved four, five times that amount. I wonder whether it's the case that people didn't understand the counselling wasn't due to them being "intimate" it was just counselling for their police relationship.

I loved the characters, the story, the acting, the plot...ab.so.lutely everything about it.

There is a special place in hell reserved for whoever cancelled this.

I am a sad sad man, RIP Common law. I wish all the great actors/actresses in it the best of luck. I will always hoping for a resurrection....fingers crossed.

They cancelled Miami for this??
22 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Anyone else think this show is going down hill?

Last weeks part made me start to question why I watch this. They used the reflection in a smashed bottle to identify a building in a photo. Conveniently a unique building too. Far fetched and bad writing, similar to the "Enhance!" idea when they zoom in over a mile and see a license plate perfectly. They seem to be using ideas from the real early CSI shows, can't they come up with better, newer, ideas?

Now they try to go all "artsy fartsy" and do a silent episode? OK...admittedly only 30 minutes of it is just music. The executive producer should possibly feel a little embarrassed. In my humble opinion it didn't work. Maybe it was all a ploy to promote "Green Day" whose songs are on during the speechless part?

Producers - Specifically the lady responsible for the silent episode idea, should stick to producing - you know who you are Pam. Writers, you should seriously try to improve your ideas/stories and stop writing CSI from the nineties.

Either way, I hate the fact that cancelled "Miami" for this. Bring back Horatio.....please!

I'm English, I've read all the Sherlock Holmes books, seen all the movies/TV programs. I like this adaptation.

I think it's very difficult for people to accept change, in any form. If this is the case for you, and you love the old style Sherlock Holmes...you'll hate this.

However, if you are willing to "go with" the changes made in this adaptation you will find a clever, well written, well acted crime drama.

I can't get enough of Sherlock Holmes fiction or crime drama for that matter. I truly hope that people can accept it for what it is and it carries on for many series.

Matt from England gives this a thumbs up!

Awful, 5.8/10 is a travesty
16 December 2009
Seriously? 5.8 out of 10, who are you trying to kid? I love both Dexter,300,Rocknrolla etc. I have no problems with any of the actors with in it. I'd actually go as far as saying I usually like these actors.

The problem I have is with the story. People controlling lives of others in a mmorpg? what the hell?

It's terrible, I watch sci-fi films a lot....as do many of you. Occasionally IMDb gets a rating a little wrong and I let it slide. In this case I cant.

The story is just plain stupid. I have a horrible feeling there are lackies for the film companies rating films in IMDb. I'm sure anyone who has even half a brain would realise how ill conceived and contrived this whole movie is.

Please, if you love sci fi, don't watch this.
