One thing you can say for USA: It knows what it's doing. It's got its shtick, and it's sticking to it. Read full review

In the grand USA scheme of things, it's pretty much same old, same old. But that's still a workable recipe. Read full review

This isn't ground-breaking TV, but if you're looking for a few good laughs and a lot of action without the commitment of marriage, Common Law the way to go. Read full review

The USA "Characters Welcome" machine strains mightily with this one. [11 May 2012, p.65]

The show around them [the actors], at this point, looks too flat and schematically plotted to succeed as the type of lightweight summer fun we've come to expect from USA. Read full review

I have a soft spot for USA series-Psych,Burn Notice,White Collar & now Common Law as well, thanks to the adorable Michael Ealy & his cop partner, Warren Kole! The Wes/Travis dynamic is great, the premise hilarious, the plot is enough to keep us interested & some delicious eye candy to boot!!I have a soft spot for USA series-Psych,Burn Notice,White Collar & now Common Law as well, thanks to the adorable Michael Ealy & his cop partner, Warren Kole! The Wes/Travis dynamic is great, the premise hilarious, the plot is enough to keep us interested & some delicious eye candy to boot!! There are plenty of avenues to explore w/both characters' histories and I look forward to many C.L. seasons! Love it!… Expand
