Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

SnoopyStyle Unconventional LAPD officer Lt. Carter Shaw (Dylan McDermott) leads an undercover unit employing questionable tactics. Ty Curtis (Omari Hardwick) is struggling to maintain both his work and his marriage to Melissa. Dean Bendis (Logan Marshall-Green) is on the edge of his dark side. Carter recruits Jaimie Allen (Nicki Aycox) into the team counting on her abilities to lie such as her new identity hiding from her criminal past. In the second season, they are joined by FBI agent Alex Rice (Tricia Helfer).This show relies on a dark crime gangster sense in a police procedural. It's very manufactured at times. Luckily, McDermott has the intensity to pull it off. The gangster lowlife sensibility gets a bit tired. I like Nicki Aycox's storyline. However, the rest of it blends into one giant mishmash of tough guy bravado.

donita51 I started watching the pilot, and after a few minutes got the gist of it - tough-talking cops, bad guys all bluster, girls all pretty and big- chested, drums-filled music to signal approach of meaningful sequences, bad guys shooting at front window (reinforced) of empty cars, head cop taking off his glasses to show compassionate care for his crew, blonde girl cop calling her boss on the phone, saying "it's me" without identifying herself (I can do that trick too), and worst of all - the action AGAIN taking place in Los Angeles, a city which should have already been empty of all its occupants for all the murders and killings TV tells us are happening there (I guess it's cheaper to shoot on location there, for i'ts obvious the city is just an offshoot of the studios as there is no other seeming reason for its existence).Haven't the makers of this terrible waste seen The Wire? Has laziness to think up fresh approaches to police series taken over completely? I would have given this show a straight 0 had I been allowed to. As it is I am thinking of suing the makers for the hour I have wasted and which I am never getting back. And BTW, I gave it another shot - tried to watch the second episode but lost all interest after 15 minutes. Please don't bring this back...

lisadope You know, I never watched TNT prior to dark blue, too much hype. Then here comes the first show on the station with some actual depth in all areas and not some quirky Monk style lead character, and it's being largely panned by audiences from what I'm reading. People think it's too dark? ( implied in title, duh. ) Go watch The Disney Channel. I was very impressed with season one of Dark Blue and was especially taken in by the emotion, extreme character depth and the many unexpected sub-plots that were set up for future episodes. It seems the show has the potential to carry on a number of entertaining story lines for seasons to come. Perhaps the show would have done better on a station more geared to it's genre. Long live Dark Blue. Oh, and if Christian Slater's 'My Own Worst Enemy' can get a DVD release, this show has earned that at the very least.

Ken Maskrey You think they would have learned with E-Ring. BUT NO!! First, this is TNT, not some watered-down 5 minute attention CBS show. You cannot have a serious, undercover cop show where everything is solved in 50 minutes. I wanted to like this show. It's shot beautifully. It has potential if they'd just not try and compact it for an hour. And TNT...such potential...The Closer and now Leverage. You notice they don't show Leverage previews until partway into Dark Blue. They (TNT) know it's a piece of crap. And now...oooohh...let's draw it out with a bad girl character. We've seen that. It's just weak writing and producing. They can't make the stories work so they want you care about the character. Doesn't work. Dylan McDermott is not Jeff Goldblum (and we all know Dark Blue is no Law and Order...not even L&O:CI). As USA put it...Dark Blue should fade to black.
