    Not creative, just another boring show. Should have kept Life on Mars.

    The oddball overload bugs at first, but the incredibly likable cast makes The Unusuals unusually promising.

    That's a lot of eccentricity, but creator/writer Noah Hawley meshes humor and pathos with deft plotting and dialogue.

    Look a little closer, though, and what you'll find is a truly strange cop dramedy with lots of sharp dialogue, jocular banter and offbeat scenarios.
