    Life is intelligent fun.
  2. 60
    Mildly satisfying, but pretty formulaic.
  3. 37
    Strip away the abrasive flourishes, and what's left is a standard-issue TV mystery with cases that are too easy to solve and internal conflicts and conspiracies that make no sense.

  1. Fantastic show! Contains just the right amount of drama, hilarity, and everything in between. The characters are pretty much all fantastic as well. I'd highly recommend it. Expand

    Loved the supporting cast (Sarah Shahi), but couldn't get past how odd the main character was. He wasn't funny strange but more like I really think that he has a problem strange. It made it impossible to enjoy the show... Expand

    Characters just didn't draw me in, decided that about 1/3 of the way through the show, that there had to be something more interesting on. BORING... Real disappointed in this one, was hoping for more in the first 20 minutes that what this brought, had high hopes and was let down. Expand
