    When I watched the 1st couple of episodes my reaction was eh. However, as I continued to watch I realized the show is not meant to be gritty or overly intense.

However, as I continued to watch I realized the show is not meant to be gritty or overly intense. Its a cross between Moonlighting, House, and Bones. I also like it for reasons that may make others uncomfortable ... that being, it places black characters outside of the Rapper/Drug Dealer/Athlete box that has become commonplace in movies and television. Consequently, I enjoy watching an upbeat positive show with a talented and integrated cast that recognizes a black man (or anyone else for that matter) can be as smart as Sherlock Holmes :-)… Expand

    Love this show! I don't care what others say I find it entertaining and the crimes riveting, they're not as obvious as other crime dramas in the whodunit stakes. Refreshing!

    I do not understand the negative reviews here: sure - it's not a heavyweight murder mystery, but it has enjoyable banter between the leads, with the required sexual tension, third wheels on both sides and it is developing a serious running plot to go with the sub-plots involving minor characters. Plus we have an inter-racial lesbian relationship.

There's plenty going on to keep the viewer entertained here - perhaps a black man who is smarter than most is a bit challenging for the average viewer?… Expand

    Show has been fun to watch. Now that it has a full season maybe slow down the whole romance thing. It's set in Miami can we not get the troupe of the same dead people dying the same way across all shows in the same genre. Also how does Rosewood have more connections than most Mob bosses?

    My favorite show on TV! A well written crime show, without all the gore present in most murder porn! The characters are well developed, and I often laugh out loud. You would think that with all the mystery murder crime shows out there that everything would be old or done before, but this show is fresh and fun! So glad they are doing a second season!

    Chicana PD and a black charming professional are so alive together it shows how it can be without extra tension existing in many communities. In this aspect, the show is not so much about crimes as about possibilities of relationship for me.
    Rizzoli and Isles was interesting not so much for crimes solved but for the camaraderie, mutual understanding and development of friendships.

    Rosewood isn't awful. But both Chestnut and the viewers deserve much better.

    Rosewood still seems like something you’ve watched before. It’s like Burn Notice meets Royal Pains interrupted by Cops.

    Rosewood can be fun in spots, but more often is way over-cooked.
