Once it gets past the cumbersome background exposition, The Finder begins to find its specific groove.
-
There's potential here. If the characters can bond into an interesting dysfunctional family, The Finder could be worth finding.
-
If the various kinks work themselves out, The Finder will at the least be a medium-strength entry in the increasingly crowded field of comedy-dramas featuring eccentric characters.
-
The second half of the pilot improves over the first. So there's progress.
-
Sounds promising, but the premiere falls flat.
-
Despite the strength of its parts, the whole feels very nascent and shaky.
-
There are a fair number of character quirks packed into that first hour, more, perhaps, than I remember from early episodes of "Bones," which built up its own quirky world a bit at a time.
-
The show has promise, but the one thing it doesn't yet have that has made "Bones" such a survivor is chemistry.
-
That backdrop [water and bikinis] hardly casts enough of a glow to offset the nondescript characters and premise in a series that isn't bad, necessarily, but simply ordinary in most every way--as if it were plucked, via time capsule, from 1984.
-
The Finder is as agreeable as a contract on onion paper that says you, the viewer, will not question implausible moments or snicker when is limp and the acting staged.
-
Everything seems hacky and incomplete.

Jan 13, 2012Not a bad pilot, gave it an 8 because I believe they will turn it around and turn it into a quirky, funny series (remeber nobosy love psych at first!)
