[Enos is] kind of fun, especially when she’s matching wits with the veteran Krause. And Krause is perfect. He’s smooth, suave and charming. You’re rooting as much for him to elude Enos as you are for Enos to catch him. Let’s hope this chase lasts awhile.
The pilot is a slick, constantly entertaining hour of programming, directed by Julie Anne Robinson with hell-for-premium-leather pacing and a surplus of stylized, split-screen transitions.
If you prefer your crime dramas from the To Catch a Thief corner of the genre, The Catch has much to recommend it, including clever plotting and an elegant, witty cast. Enos, a long way from the bipolar ragamuffin detective she played in The Killing, shows that she can rock an evening gown.
Like other Rhimes shows, including "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy," it filters a lot of nuttiness through good actors who can make compelling what otherwise might seem absurd.
Forget the incongruity of the premise--we’re asked to believe that Alice and Valerie’s company is both the best private investigation firm around and the most incompetent--and instead just be dismayed at the prospect of having to spend more time with Alice and Ben. They, like everyone else in this series, have a “Stepford Wives” blandness to them.
Though it’s crisp-looking and well-cast like its predecessors, The Catch is mostly a flashy lot of nothing.
It's a laborious, cliched bit of retread television.
