    More of the same with this show. In same genre as CSI, CSI Miami, Numbers, Cold Case, CSI NY, - how about something original?

    I usually like this type of show. But this show seems predicitable, judgemental and ridiculously right-wing. I think the main actress could be very good. It's a shame her talents are wasted on this conservative predictable tightly wound drivel.

    Home isn't a bad show--it's just bad-intentioned. [7 Oct 2005, p.64]

    Finnigan, who was so right in NBC's loopy comedy "Committed," lacks the heft for the role of the no-nonsense prosecutor. Not that, as written, the role would be easy for anyone. It requires Annabeth to be a vigorous and energetic protagonist and, simultaneously, a weepy young mother with postpartum blues.

    What would otherwise be a tedious collection of working-mom and lawyer-show clichés is saved by an excellent cast.
