I know producers have to market their shows, but I always find it disheartening when they deviate so much from the author's description of the characters. This show is a perfect example. A great, telegenic group, but not a single one resembles the characters in Patterson and Petro's books. Lindsay Boxer is a tall blonde from California, not a tall brunette with a Texas accent. Claire Washburn is described at a LARGE, jovial "earth mother" and mother of teens, not a thirty-something like the actress who portraits her in the show. Cindy Thomas is blonde ditz with curly hair, not a ginger. At least Jill Bernhardt is not too far off course, although she isn't as well described as the other characters. I'd have pegged her more an "old money" WASP, but not as pasty as Laura Harris. And don't even get me started with Warren Jacobi, who is most likely not a middle aged Black male. However, since such dramatic "license" has been pretty common since casting Denzel Washington as Gray Grantham, who was definitely not Black but made for great box office, such liberties are to be expected.

Women's Murder Club was the good surprise of the season.it's well-written, well-acted, has beautiful cinematography and engages the viewer intelligently.In other words, it's a far cry from the umpteen bad shows that the networks introduced this year.Sadly, it was never promoted heavily by ABC and thus still hasn't reached its full commercial potential. Regardless, it's been doing extremely well in the ratings and won its night regularly. What more can a network want? The characters are all very real and engaging and while the personal stories have a danger to fall into soapy, they've so far remained engaging and have been balanced very well with the "crime of the week".The creators have all been fired by the network, and I hope the new people ABC will bring in won't turn this into another unwatchable soap opera.

i would totally agree with you, i have to say something tho, i didn't like this show at first,but then one nite i was kinda bored and didn't have anything to watch so i decided to watch the rest of the Episodes i had,as matter of fact im watching Episode 4 rite now and i had to come here and say something about the show, since its new one and im sure a lot would like to hear some feedback about the show. i find it really entertaining ,and cute, and funny somehow...they acting is really good, and the stories also good. if i want to describe this show in few words i would say: simple ,cute with good stories in it. Laura Harris is my favorite in the show so far, she is sensitive and strong in same time..i didn't like Lindsay Boxe at first but when i watched more episodes i actually start liking her, strong and funny personality and so addicted to her work. i think you will have to watch it ur self and decide if you agree with me or not..but so far i really like this show and i hope u will too .

WMC is a women's show featuring several females in various jobs related to law enforcement who have formed a bond to catch criminals. The show will not last as it is lazily scripted and indifferently directed and generically cast, but it it worth watching for one reason: Angie Harmon as a gung-ho but troubled cop, doing her best impression of Jill Hennessey from the now-canceled and much-missed CROSSING JORDAN, which WAS a show worth watching. Harmon and Hennessey, as most of you know, both served as partners to Sam Waterston on LAW & ORDER. Unfortunately, Harmon alone will not save this show. Catch it now, as I suspect it will not be back for a second season.
