    Not seeing the first season of 'The Catch', I paid careful attention to the recap of last season at the beginning of the episode. With that and viewing the first 30 minutes of this show, I'm trying to figure out why it was ever renewed. 'The Catch' must be geared to a certain demographic with very low standards for both interesting story lines and quality acting. Moronic dialogue, cheesy plot lines...and the WORST fake city backdrop I've ever seen. Seriously, high school drama clubs make more professional scenery than was done for this show. Just awful.

    Love that this show keeps you on your toes, and even then, often you say...oh, I should have, but I just didn't see that coming.Each cop/good guy/bag guy type show needs a unique hook to keep you coming back, and this one has one that catches you in the beginning and keeps you coming back. It includes intrigue, love, hate, like, likable main characters and likable side kicks...and plot twists. You really like the bad guys in this show...and that's not easy to do, create likable killers.I liked this show so much that I actually watched 5 episodes via On demand, commercials and all, since I had to go out of town and my dish network stopped recording while I was gone... It was worth it though. If you've not watched this show, you can catch up on demand with dish if you've got it.Hope it stays on for a number of seasons.

    This show must have been created as a tax credit. They take a total loss and pay less taxes. Right? Tell me it's true. Sigh. Nobody fouls up a show this horribly unless it's on purpose!This show is a joke. The actors and writers must be relatives or hired because of race or religion. They certainly weren't hired BC they know what they're doing! I have heard about a computer AI technology that can write shows and movies... Maybe this is one of them.Kate and Helen, with your background in literature and production, I'm truly disappointed. Kate, your IMDb rank is dropping like a lead anchor.

    We are loving this show. Finding it fun, clever and entertaining. It is enjoyable, much like the old Mission Impossible series was, but with a modern look and much more intrigue and play. Life is crazy, and it is nice to come home and disappear into the fantasy of a spunky intelligent thriller. It is also nice to have that story told without the extraneous and exploitive blood, guts and gore of other shows. The characters are fleshing out slowly, and cannot be taken at face value. Each week builds nicely on the previous one, which help to draw the watcher into the growing story. Mireille Enos is fun to watch, with her Monroeish eye-flutter affectations. She is mesmerizing, and nicely underplays the roll. In fact the show has strong and interesting female rolls with Sonya Walger playing the anti-hero steamily well. Yes, they are stereotyped, but aren't most fantasies? If we wanted to watch 'real life' we would just turn off the TV!
