Life in Pieces (2015)
Disappointed
Was hoping this would make for a good comedy hours with Big Bang Theory. Even if I take out the lead in that is a very funny show to me, I still think this show is poor.
I thought the humor is a little predictable and crude--the latter I could deal with if it were funny.
The disjointed set up could be used well but the writers failed.
I really care very little for any of the characters and do not find myself even chuckling or grinning.
Was really hoping that Dianne Wiest and James Brolin would be used well, but they have no depth to their characters. Colin Hanks tries but really is not given anything to work with.
Clearing this one off my DVR.
Rosewood (2015)
Ugh
I really tried to find something good about this show. Could not do it.
So how is he able to afford all this highly specialized equipment? At $7500 per exam I doubt he could pay off all that equipment.
Then the lame sharing of info between Rosey and the detective lacked any sort of subtlety. Got the feeling the show was ripping off Sherlock (and poorly at that) since Rosey identifies lots of little things. Amazing how incompetent other professionals are.
The attempt to generate sexual tension between the leads was just not there.
I doubt this show makes it past episode 4. Of course I will not know since it is not going to be on my watch list.
You can find better use of your TV watching time IMHO.
The Player: Pilot (2015)
Weak rip off
I have included a potential plot spoiler. However, odds are we are never going to know since this show is not going to last.
The ability to predict crime is a rip-off of Person of Interest. The idea that the super rich are gambling on this is a poor plot device.
Wesley Snipes---just could not buy it and then he made it worse with his phony accent (Foghorn Leghorn) when impersonating a FBI agent.
This organization or cabal is so powerful that they can pull back the cops after a high speed chase in a matter of seconds--come on. I can accept getting someone out of jail over time, but not this nonsense.
Alex Kane did nothing to make me want to pull for him. The female lead was a caricature of...I am not sure what she was a caricature of. She was terrible.
SPOILER I suspected that his ex was not dead.
