Just watched all the episodes and we loved it. We read all of Baldacci's books and this was very close to what I pictured when reading. To bad this was cancelled while other series survive. This is comparable in quality with Bones which as been on air for what.. ten years? The idea of keeping Edgar in the story and making him a permanent fixture was brilliant. Ryan Hurst was unbelievable and his unexpected teaming up with Benny (I don't recall reading about her in the books, nor Rigby and Carter for that matter) was charming and very entertaining.Bring it back!!
... View MoreI often will DVR a new show and watch it after 3-4 episodes have recorded. I'm really glad I did that here, because the first episode was OK, but didn't grab me until a few episodes in.Can I say that one thing I LOVE is the way Maxwell dresses. I am so TIRED of seeing women playing cops on TV dressed like they're going out for a beer on a Friday night, cleavage and all. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a time will come where she's all decked out (in an appropriate situation) and will knock our socks off (like Kate on Castle). It's refreshing that she (the writers) don't take that tired road here. In real life we don't all run around all day showing cleavage and wearing the extra tight jeans in our work environment. We save that for 'after work' time :)I really love everything about this show; plots, conflicts, character development, zany 'not lead' characters. ***Spoiler*** And how fun was it to have a cameo with Rebecca's real life husband Jerry, playing a sleazy guy named Jerry!
... View MoreI wanted to like this show because of Jon Tenney but am still lukewarm. Rebecca Romijin adds nothing. Anyone could play her role. There is no chemistry between them except for the fake and oh so old arguing ala Castle, Moonlighting and so many other shows of the same ilk. Romijin is strictly eye candy to come to work, take a shower with the door open and catch an occasional glimpse of her naked back. She can't act, can't react and gives nothing of substance. Tenney is too good an actor and he deserves a real actress . In "The Closer" he played second fiddle to Kyra Sedgwick's quirky character...now he has a stiff mannequin to maneuver around.
... View MoreJon Tenney fresh from being an FBI agent and married to Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer and Rebecca Romjin fresh from being married to John Stamos in real life co-star in a new television King&Maxwell. The two are former Secret Service agents who had two tragedies break on them while on the job. Now they're private detectives and in addition Tenney is a lawyer. Being both a PI and an attorney opens up a whole lot of story possibilities. Tenney can be a lawyer and he can have Romjin do his investigating and occasionally lend her a hand. On The Closer Tenney was a recovering alcoholic and he continues in the same guise here.Romjin and Tenney looked comfortable working together. Working out of WAshington, DC also opens up all kinds of possibilities for political intrigue in their cases as well.I hope the show finds an audience.
