Thought the first two episodes of So Help Me Todd were really good for a CBS show

Didn’t see Alaska Daily yet

The Rookie: Feds has mid season cancellation written all over it

I like Alaska Daily. Right mix of drama with that bit of humor.

What is So Help Me Todd like? Is it a comedy? A drama? A mystery?

So far the ads have told me nothing except who is in it.

It’s all of the above. It’s a dramedy and the main character Todd is a former PI so it’s like a mystery/ case of the week show.

I like So Help Me Todd so far as well. The lead is good, loved him in other sitcoms, plus of course Pitch Perfect. He is charming and funny in a self deprecating way, and he ends up being the butt of most jokes which seems to work with his exasperated expression he does so well.

Also, his mom is good. She will most likely loosen up a bit as the show goes on, but the stuffy lawyer is a good counter to Todds lack of professionalism.

There is a love interest, who is engaged to someone else, but my guess is she ends that relationship at some point.

Also, it seems like mom and Todd will break out and end up with their own practice or something like that.

East New York is a misfire. It tries so hard to be NYPD Blue, but ignores what made that show so great, the victims and their families drove the stories, you wanted those perpetrators caught because as the viewer, you wanted to see those families at peace. The detectives were also nuanced and compelling to watch, even from the first episode Andy Sipowicz was a very different cop to say Mike Logan or Lenny Briscoe from Law and Order. The victims are just bodies on this show, there is no relatability or crushing interviews with their loved ones, that drove plots. Its just paint by numbers soulless cop procedural. No emotional baggage from these detectives as they try to solve cases with level heads their biases coming through those frustrations. This show from all standpoints is just bland and shockingly with so much hype as being controversial, extremely inoffensive.

The pilot was so uneven and so sluggish that even the writers forgot they were a cop show for a minute because much of the hour was spent about one of the detectives and his girlfriend buying a bar. This took up so much time that everything related to the actual case was tied up just by forced circumstance. Oh the Russian shooter just happened to be on the plane with the Trump like businessman. Really? Its just sad because the core premise about a female Deputy Inspector wanting to change her department's idea of policing from the corrupt show force and shoot questions never, to a valued member of the community as a way to lower crime figures is intriguing for a network drama, especially CBS, but everything is done so lazily I cannot recommend this one at all.

I started Fire Country because of Max from Seal Team. It’s a average build up to the plot. I’ll continue to watch.
