Deception, was a riveting series which wanted you to turn in and watch more. The concept of this show was great. NBC did a big injustice canceling it. I think the concept should have another run only different format and venue. The actors on Deception were great. Tate Donovan and Wes Brown were fantastic. The role of Julian Bowers (Wes Brown) was able to show a side of him that I never seen. I can't decide whether he was a "Playboy" or a "Walk on The Wild Side" . Either way he played it great. He has an edge to these type of roles. So I think he claimed Julian as his own. The acting in this series was pivotal and very rewarding to the viewers and fans. The teaming up of Julian and Joanna (Meagan Good) was smart. The chemistry between these two were undeniable. Lyratrol (drug) seemed to be the driving force behind Julian to succeed. As it turned out it was a good drug, after eliminating bad publicity. But in that spotlight showed a vulnerable side to Julian. Well we all know who killed Vivian. The show tried to pull process of elimination, but I think the bigger game was not to have Joanna's identity found out. Joanna seemed to be the calming force who could calm Julian. So they belong together. Tate Donovan (Edward) made this role very exciting and a hands on approach. So the teaming up of Tate Donovan and Wes Brown would be worth looking at. The abrupt ending of Deception left a lot of unanswered questions. What happened to Katherine, what did she die from? The deaths begin and end with Robert. Brenda

I normally don't write reviews. In fact for TV I never write reviews. I'm not a TV watcher. Very seldom do I find a television show worth my time or interest and usually I just don't remember when the show is on. But this show is very different. I started watching because of Meagan Good. I've seen her off and on in movies and she never really stood out for me. That's not to say that she's not a good actress because she is. I would say after seeing Deception it is the roles she had that was the problem not Meagan. After watching the pilot I was hooked. The story line of a young woman being murdered and the search for her killer is the major plot of the story unfortunately for the murdered woman, Vivian I didn't really care but after taking in the full hour of the show I found that the characters' interaction is what makes this show well worth the time spent.This is a dysfunctional family in the purest sense of the word and those in it are the most unique characters I've ever seen. Each one has a personality that comes across the scene larger than life and will pull you into their world so fast that I found myself thinking about them long after the episode as ended. The dialogue at times is wonderfully memorable and the situations Joanna (Meagan Good) finds herself in will pull your attention every time. Several of the episodes did drag, and parts of the focus of the episode left me not really caring but the later episodes were great and the show seems to have hit a stride that should make it an excellent candidate for a new season. If this show is renewed I will be right there watching every new episode.

SPOILER ALERT!The show is basically about a female detective who starts investigating the mysterious death of her rich childhood best friend(Vivian). I like this show and I plan on watching it in the future but I have to say this show really reminds me of 2004's UPS drama Veronica Mars. Veronica was also a detective who investigated her best friends's(Lily) murder. Joanna(Meagan Good) and Veronica both dated their murdered best friends' brother. Both victims were a little promiscuous, came from a wealthy dysfunctional family, were blonde, and had a substance abuse problem. The only real difference is that Veronica was a high school student and Joanna is an adult.This show isn't very original, some of the plot twists are a little predictable and the writing isn't very good but I like the murder/mystery genre. I am glad to see Meagan Good starring in her own show and to see Laz Alonzo(Breakout Kings) again. P.S. If you like this show you might also like Veronica Mars. Unfortunately it only lasted 3 seasons but it was well written. I'm pretty sure it's on Hulu if you want to check it out.

I didn't expect much from this show when I realized that megan good was cast as the lead, so I wasn't too disappointed when it turned out to be a huge flop. I thought good was a joke. She is not right for the part.She has a music video, mistress quality about her and would be better suited in those roles. Don't waste your time with this show. I think the creators were trying to fashion this show after Scandal but failed miserably.Don't waste your time with this one. I'm sure it will be off the air after the next episode. Good needs to go back to playing a thugs girlfriend in low budget films.
