    For all of its self-deprecation (and platform deprecation), Ryan Hansen Solves Crime on Television is a sturdy little half-hour, with a procedural template that promises a neatly tied off case at the end of each episode. ... The show wouldn’t work at all without Hansen’s specific combination of good cheer and self-delusion, and to his credit, he executes it beautifully.

    Solves Crimes has potential, but its problem is hard-wired into its premise and its venue: You wish that someone more interesting to watch than Mr. Hansen were at the center of it. ... There’s no compelling reason to watch, but you might get a kick out of it.

    There's promise, but the pilot doesn't make a strong case for spending money on yet another subscription service. [20/27 Oct 2017, p.88]

    Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television is bloated and sloppy and amateurish in a way that occasionally rises to the level of "gleeful," but it's occasionally hilarious and delivers a much more scathing, granular and detailed satire of the television business and Hollywood fame than the facile yuks of Showtime's departed, overpraised Episodes.

    While RHSCOT is an admirable (and often charming, thanks to Hansen) attempt to make something different, it just doesn’t seem like it knows what exactly that is yet.

Obviously the pilot is going to be of a lower quality than the rest of the series (remember House MD?) but the show is hilariously meta. I have seen a lot of people who seem to be judging it like a proper crime procedural, but that completely misses the point. It's a show that doesn't take itself too seriously, and for me, that's a refreshing change.… Full Review »
