The books they based the series on,are excellent,the series on the other hand is quite bad.Book vs TV series. In the Books they are truly professional. They disagrees sometimes,and bicker a bit ,since one of the two is a neat freak.But till act like professionals.TV Series. They act like fumbling idiots. One always leaves/ forget his gun in the glove compartment, or at home in a drawer. And he is suppose to be an ex secret service agent. I mean c'mon. He always has his back to, whatever it is that's gonna come up on him. Even in the most highly alerted situations.Now the chemistry and the acting isn't all that either. They mostly look Bored, and have the facial expression ,of just going through the motion for a pay check. The two of them might be actors,and be able to act.But they sure don't show it on this showThis is like a crime/PI show for lonely housewives or stay at home mums. Kind of along he line of the TV show Matlock.=The cases get solved through a bit unorthodox methods.But mostly very peacefully and none violently

If you like Jon Tenney on "The Closer" with Kyra Sedgwick, it is finally nice for him to get paid his dues and get his own show with Rebecca Romijn(The X-Men) as two US Secret Service agents who lost their jobs and are now private detectives.As they manage to get the job done. Despite the interference of Michael O Keefe as Agent Frank Rigby who is by the book but can't help by have a grudging appreciation for the two protagonists and Chris Butler as younger agent, Darius Carter who seems to more like the two than his older by the book partner.Still it is so far a pretty good show as glad to see Jon Tenney get his dues paid for. And rewarded in the process. While Rebecca Romijn seems to be more eye candy as she is the weakest link of the cast. No offense.

I enjoy Jon Tenney (better than on the Closer) and Rebecca Romjin is a more charismatic actress than her limited roles have provided her but the role which makes this series stand out if Ryan Hurst's portrayal of Edgar. He plays a brilliant but only barely functional autistic computer researcher. This is a recent theme in crime dramas such as Eric McCormack in Perception but nobody plays this role better than Ryan. I'm not saying that Edgar could be a lead character but he gives a unique perspective to this series. I can't wait to see what the writers will be doing with him. I would also love to hear how Ryan prepared for this role.

Firstly I loved The Closer, especially Jon Tenny and 99% of the other cast members, so seeing him in this, with Major Crimes taking over from The Closer is manna from heaven for me.King and Maxwell are to ex secret service agents who partner up as PI's with a difference. King isn't all that worried about making money or bending the rules a bit as long as they get the job done. Maxwell tends to follow a similar vein, but is more head strong and bossy. The chemistry between the actors is easy to see and they bring this out in their characters which makes for fun and interesting viewing. For me this is Castle with a twist.Quirky is how I found the first episode and admittedly I have now seen the second episode prior to this review and I will be continuing to watch this show with interest. The continuing involvement of Edgar (as I had hoped after the pilot) will make the show even more interesting and fun, but maybe a little predictable, time will tell.A recommended show for me and I hope it continues in the vein of the first two episodes.8/10
