TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Matt I...I just don't know what to say. I thought the show was absolutely awesome. I have a feeling it has to be the shoddy marketing which killed it's numbers. Two million an episode, seriously? This show deserved four, five times that amount. I wonder whether it's the case that people didn't understand the counselling wasn't due to them being "intimate" it was just counselling for their police relationship.I loved the characters, the story, the acting, the plot...ab.so.lutely everything about it.There is a special place in hell reserved for whoever cancelled this.I am a sad sad man, RIP Common law. I wish all the great actors/actresses in it the best of luck. I will always hoping for a resurrection....fingers crossed.

fact1989 I thought it was refreshing. The pilot started a little slow but gain entertainment value. Give it a chance. It's characters relationship are much like real life couples whether their friends or intimate males and females. They're crazy and remember it's just a show not a serious dramatic TV show like Law & Order. It's meant to be what it is; funny, goofy at times, but overall entertaining. The fact that some reviews dislike the unrealistic scenario when the dog sniffs the heroin in the fish tank are taking the show too serious or too scientific. While other shows are based on the trendy CSI scientific approach to solve homicide cases are still intriguing and worthy of quality show production, it's refreshing to have a balance. A funny detective show like Common Law is just what I enjoyed about the overall options of shows viewers can choose.

Sfver Let's start with the positive; it has potential.Normally I take my shows in the watch it from start to finish with no breaks (very engrossing). Start and stop, then start again (not great, but not too bad, so I do come back to it). Then there's the start, stop, and probably won't bother watching anymore episodes (and possibly don't even finish the first episode!).This falls in the middle. I did stop watching at the 13min mark, (slightly wooden dialogue and peripheral characters), but once past that it does pick up again, on an above average pace.With reference to the 'odd couple' (and the shows' précis) it manages to tread a fine line (will have to watch more episodes to be certain), between maintaining the banter between the two leads, but without dwelling on it too much to make the show work, and thereby irritating you and turning it into a one-track horse run (you know those shows; they find one particular angle that they can lever and keep re-using it, show after show after show, and nauseatingly ad-nauseum!).So, given the fact that it's an USA network show, we'll possibly be seeing quite a bit more of the new millennium's odd couple!

bkoganbing One never knows what will pique the interest of the American television audience, but for me Common Law is not that commonly good. The notion of two police partners working together through some real issues with each other by having them go to couples counseling is bad on its face. In any other police department would have been transferred and that would have been the end. I suppose that Captain Jack McGee is thinking that he's doing some progressive and radical thinking on their issues. I think his superiors would question McGee's thinking.Michael Ealy's character of the cop from the wrong side of the tracks, a foundling raised in a group home is a good one. It should allow for all kinds of strange relations to pop up like one did in the pilot and help him in his job. But Warren Kole who gave up being a lawyer for being a cop, PUH-LEASE. It usually works the other way around like Jeremy Sisto's Cyrus Lupo on Law And Order. In fact I could cite some other examples in real life.I'm not thinking this one will find favor.
