Diagonaldi Very well executed

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Danny Blankenship Been watching the new ABC series "Wicked City" I must say that it's blended well with drama and suspense to make a viewer interested. As it follows the times and trail of a serial killer in the city of L.A in 1982., or should I say that of a serial killer tag team. As the killings taking place are done by that of a man and woman team! And the scenes of dead bodies and chopped heads and cut limbs are gross and typical with all crime dramas it features abductions, and missing women. And the sex scenes are a little sexy yet sadistic for a network TV series, and interesting is how each week the detectives follow the cases with clues and searches. The quotes and sayings really capture the times of the early 80's most catching are the movie and political quotes. And the fashion and cars shown are very early 80's. The biggest treat is the early 80's music played during each episode it takes you back as the music helps carry the show. "Wicked City" is one series that cuts like a knife with drama and sadistic suspense while punching and throwing a jab well with the times of pop culture of the early 1980's.

gonzo_don After 2 episodes, I think this one may turn into a winner--I'm wondering if they might get bogged down in the whole "period piece" thing of the 80's because frankly, I didn't even pick up on that until halfway through the first episode... but the entire second episode put it right in my face. I absolutely love Taissa Farmiga in everything she's done so far, but in this series, her acting is horrible. I don't know whether it's on purpose or not, but she'll say a line and THEN react to it; like, "He tried to kill me..." in a deadpan and then she'll remember she's supposed to look like she's surprised. She's a doll, though.

Jill Ravae Scherr If you are looking for an exciting fast paced drama after the disappointing line up fall has had to offer def. check out Wicked City. ABC def saved the best for last saving standout actor Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) paired up with the equally talented Erika Christensen. The two take us on a Bonnie & Clyde like adventure filled with lots of action, suspense, & great musical soundtrack. The series is different in that you see each point of view given its own substantial air time and instead of waiting episode after episode to find out who did it (Pretty Little Liars) anyone which can be tiresome we already now! The excitement is in the chase of will they or won't they get caught! Westwick shows just how diverse his acting is and this is just the beginning of what is shaping up to be an amazing life long career for the young British Actor. The cast also features Taissa Farmiga popular for her work in (AHS) and Jeremy Sisto who has had many great roles over the years as a sharp but flawed detective dealing with issues of his own. Gabriel Luna & Karolina Wydra are ones to watch as well! Be sure to check this series out of you are looking for a fresh new series to dive into! Also the series will take on an entirely different case each season which will keep things interesting although I will personally miss the steamy chemistry between Westwick & Christensen on screen.

joyday "Wicked City" came across as different in a good way. Probably should be X-rated for sex. The blonde nurse was a main char. in Parenthood. She played a married lawyer with a stay at home dad for a husband in Parenthood. In Wicked City Betty isn't as high IQ. It was difficult trying to distinguish the main cop from the serial killer as they both had plenty of facial stubble and similar hair color and hair cuts. We noticed the background noise blocked out the dialog sometimes; we couldn't turn the volume up at 10-11 pm. Will record and watch during the day next week. We both gave it an excellent rating. Many of the shows that began new in October we've dropped already because of difficulty seeing and hearing, so we're trying to stick with this one. For the first half of the pilot I thought the main cop might be the serial killer, but the confusion was cleared up later.
