    In general, we like his character, and Reese's. They have a new boss named Kevin Tidwell (Donal Logue), who doesn't start off all good or all bad. Neither does the show. But if it can maintain this level of quality, it's got a shot.

    It's all more like a steady burn--of talent, of smart writing, of chemical reactions--and it may take a few episodes to feel the heat.

    Dani of the Perfectly Tousled Locks watches Charlie for the rest of us, her responses shaping ours.

    Dopey, overrated show only a critic could love. Stunningly unoriginal. Oh, and am I the only one who thinks Damian Lewis looks like a total dweeb?
