Wow! Such a good movie.

Lack of good storyline.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

It boggles the mind a show like Two Broke Girls can go on seemingly forever but something watchable gets canned after just one season, probably because, once again, the dumbasses the look at the ratings/viewers aren't also counting people who stream shows.I hope Netflix revives this and Limitless, because at this point i think they're the only ones who know what their doing anymore.

Julia George (Piper Perabo) is the driven L.A. producer of a news interview show hosted by Louise Herrick (Kate Jennings Grant). Megan Byrd is her assistant. She often works with defense attorney and former lover Jake Gregorian (Daniel Sunjata). Ella Benjamin (Aimee Teegarden), Bradley Gregorian (J. August Richards), and Ryan Mills are investigators working for Jake. Jake has Oscar Keaton (Kevin Zegers) as a client but later it is revealed that Jake had an one-night stand with his wife.This tries to be a lot of flash like a Scandal. I like both Perabo and Sunjata as actors. I like their characters less. The show starts with them in a complicated passionate relationship but it gets water thrown on it almost immediately. The fake brash overwrought unreality can be acceptable but the show hits the wrong note from time to time. I also wonder if following only one case for the whole season would be more compelling and better for the show. It would make more sense for Jake and Julia to do one case together.

...I really can't understand the networks, the producers and the writers this season...Notorious is a new TV drama about...well...I'm not so sure.It is about the (unexplained) close "business" relationship between a (male) criminal defense attorney and a (female) news producer. Supposedly based on actual persons, attorney Mark Geragos and Larry King Live producer Wendy Walker.The main idea is (also supposedly) to show to the viewers how easily can be manipulated by cheap tricks played by the media. Like whoever gets to say ...first if someone is guilty or innocent, will play a major role to the ...actual verdict of a jury!There are a lot of things going wrong with Notorious even from its first scene which shows (you might have guessed it) ...Sex! And not just Sex, but Sex in the office. And the scene that follows that, is another one that implies Sex between the cougar anchorwoman and an exotic boy-toy, also in the office at the same time, a few meters away from the previous couple.And the usual "you are the best", "she is the greatest", "the top news producer", blah-blah, blah-blah, from the writers who are too lazy to make a solid introduction and build properly their characters.Then, the lamest and most uninteresting twists, appearing one after the other, trying to match the fast, abrupt editing and direction.And all of these, are mixed into a chaos of a script, that tries to combine mystery, legal drama, romance, deceit and a soap opera version of "the Newsroom".Overall: Another disappointment for this season. Not worth the time. Maybe some hardcore feminists will find it a tad enjoyable..

This show can be a great one if they keep up the tempo from the first episode. I have not seen this tempo in events and the script since West Wing. Piper Perabo is as usual brilliant and this is a show where I really look forward to the 2nd episode. The only thing I am afraid for is the tempo slowing down and the drama taking over too much. Looking at the first episode I feel there is a risk the writers wants the show to be more sexy. But it does not need that. Just give us what you gave us in the first episode and all will be fine.If you like a fast-paced actiondrama, you will like Notorious. I hope we get a full season even though reviews generally have been poor.
