    The first episode is outstanding - yes, it does feel a bit like "The Killing", but it's not nearly as downtrodden and depressing as that show was. Paquiin is fantastic in this show. Yet another reason to dip into WGN American (after Outsiders...)

    The series began slowly, picked up the pace for an episode or two, but became exceedingly convoluted by the end. The main characters ranged from peculiar to perverse. Often they were made to behave in ways that even remotely intelligent people would not behave. My wife stopped watching after the first episode and she was the smart one.

    Bellevue plays like a watered-down version of “The Killing.”

    Bellevue isn’t trying to break the mold of a closed-ended mystery, but it does offer a riff on it that manages to be both cozily predictable and refreshingly contemporary. ... It presents its characters with texture and range; meaning that even when it missteps, it still finds a way to make you care.

    Some civic sociology is advanced--Bellevue is depressed, a brewery offers a chance of recovery--but never really developed. There are things that please, most of which have to do with Paquin.
