Now that the first episode has come on what do you think. Personally I really enjoyed it and see potential for a great show, but some critics and reviewers disagree. So what do you think?

It won't last a full season. Not because it's a bad show, just because nobody can  ing let go of the Dwight character. On Rain Wilson's Twitter everyone just kept on calling him that name talking about the show. |

I didn't care for it, personally. Unlike other similar shows, the main character doesn't seem to have any redeeming or likeable traits; he's just an assh*le and little more. It also felt like it was trying to be too edgy and politically incorrect just for the sake of it.
Of course, that was just the first episode, and it could get better from there, but it probably won't last long enough to get to that point anyway, if the first episode's ratings are any indication.

Agreed. And it was so over the top cheesy that it seemed like a parody/spoof of detective shows. I'll try a couple more episodes and see if it gets a little better. |

Liked it a lot. Seriously demented dude...love him. The cast plays pretty well together; probably will gain chemistry as it goes on. Rainn was a little flat, or emotionless, in some places where I figured the character would have some vigor, or expressive emotion, to the lines. In any case, I will be watching. Bad ratings are no surprise when you pit it against everything else that is on; the busiest night on tv.

What did everyone think of the second ep? I thought it was good. Backstrom and his son are great together. Still dig the snarkyness. Rainn is still playing some scenes emotion-light, but that may be his way of portraying the character. Not a perfect show, but fun none the less.
