Premise: An pathologist with a
deadly disease and too much self-esteem solves crime IN MIAMI [that seems to be
important].
Verdict: I really don’t see the
point of this show.
This show feels like someone wrote a really average cop
show and then went “Let’s make it diverse and set it in Miami, that will make
it better”. Well, it didn’t. Unfortunately, the network totally fell for it. At
the risk of being controversial, I don’t think this show would have gotten made
if it was filled with white people.
So, basically we have a bunch of good looking diverse
cast [which is great], with very lacklustre writing [which is not great]. There
is nothing fundamentally wrong with the script but there is absolutely nothing
interesting either. The “vibrant” setting and stereotypical Latin soundtrack
didn’t do much for it either, except show us that there is not one corner in
Miami which is not blasting a salsa tune [OK…] If anything, the Miami setting
just reminded me of Burn Notice and Dexter [or even The Finder] and made Rosewood
pale in comparison.
Basically, the pilot was full of pseudo-scientific talk
and over the top acting [not even blaming the actors, they were just working
with what they got]. I just… This can’t possibly be the best show among the
thousands FOX has to choose every year… It just can’t.
Should you watch it? I am just going
to say no. Unless you want to watch every procedural ever made.
