    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.

    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 »
