I need to take those words back and apply them to the end of the show, or find better, greater-than holy-shit-awesome adjectives.

Anyone watch The Unusuals tonight? ABC's new crime drama with Amber Tamblyn?

I've got it Tivoed. I'll probably watch it tomorrow-- I have such a weak spot for Jeremy Renner.
I did. You know, it was a heckuva lot better than I was expecting. BTW, I thought this show was a show about police officers who have super powers. So I was disappointed that this wasn't the case. I'm not sure why I thought they had superpowers. Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part?
Anyway, I thought it was a pretty decent cop show. It isn't perfect, but I was definitely entertained. I liked the quirkiness of the cops and that they weren't TOO quirky. I'm glad depressed cop dialed it down by the end.
I'm a sucker for a mystery, too - and they got me there. I hope they resolve these mysteries soon enough.
The one guy, brain tumor cop, may have some weird super power. The show was quirky without being over the top. And I liked the Dispatcher and some of the stuff in the background. Like the dispatcher was describing crimes commited but ladies in matching pink and white sweaters and a couple scenes later, there they are in the back ground in hand cuffs looking feisty.
I'm a little predisposed to love "The Unusuals" for a lot of reasons, but I have to say, I thought it hit all the right notes, and had a good sense of when to dial up the seriousness. Also, jailed guy in a hot dog suit. Awesome.
I'm usually not a cop show guy, but now I'm watching two. Huh.
I loved Life tonight. The perfect zen moment of Charlie culminating in killing Roman. And he didn't need a bigger gun.
It's cute, but not, dare I say it, Unusual. (well, not to me, but I'm all about the Procedurals.) And the copier gag from H:LOTS getting ripped off made me sort of annoyed. Even though I know real police have used it before and since, and maybe commenting on it is a lot of meta. But I want it, anyway. It's sorta H:LOTS meets Barney Miller meets...I dunno. Gilmore Girls?
I loved Life tonight! Damian Lewis was on FIRE. They sure unspooled a lot in one episode, but it felt good.
Definitely loved last night's Life! It did a good job of wrapping up enough storylines that I won't be pissed off if it doesn't get renewed (although I really hope it does, of course). Even Ted got a decent resolution ("Went to Spain" was a nice touch, but I can't remember why he had more money than Charlie or Rayburn--was it the embezzlement?).
So glad to see the interviewer offed (yes, I'm cruel that way), since it served to make Roman even more menacing. And I liked how Charlie got out of the car, by pointing out to the henchmen that they now had the ability to make a choice without it affecting their families' safety and leaving it up to them.
And I knew that lady FBI agent was up to no good!!!
