David Caruso wannabe has ugly, bitchy girlfirend and accuses everyone he meets of being the murderer. Eventually, after boring us to tears, one of them turn out to be the murderer. :thumbsdown:

Pilot episode annoyed the hell out of me, mostly because of the dude's fake American/Chicago accent and the fact that he's just an annoying man. Stuck through it because it was the only thing on in the summer and I wanted to see if he'd bang the nurse.

Tried to start watching the second season and it did nothing for me. Trying too hard to be Dexter.

But Matt Passmore is hot. No pointy elbows and Australian to boot.

I surprised that Kiele Sanchez has lasted this long to be honest! :confused:

Regretfully, I have not seen it since season 2 started.

A&E is not carried by the hotel system.

Must have been a bad episode, I like this show.

Have you seen Longmire?

I love Longmire. Picked up the books because of the show. On the third one now. I wanted to like the Glades, but just couldn't get into it. The main guy annoyed me for some reason. I think the OP clarified the "why" for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this! His character annoys the heck out of me.

Huh, I think she's pretty damn hot.

But yeah, the episodes are getting quite repetitive. I suspect Longmire will end up the same way. Lou Diamond Philips is the best character in that show.

I wish LDP had a more active role in Longmire, maybe he'll have more screen time next season?

I really like Longmire. I like the main characters, so I ignore the show's weaknesses, like the fact that they have to severely jump cut the fight sequences to hide the fact that Longmire just isn't that mobile.

What I really like is the subtle underlining of their hardscrabble rural roots in the way they slam the wooden drawers on their beaten-up wooden desks or pass around their $20 circa 1970's Radio Shack tape recorder, or Longmire continuing to drive around in his aged full-size Bronco with the accident damage unfixed down an entire one side. Nice touches, all. :thumbsup:

The Glades, yeah, not so much. The guy's annoying, and Kiele Sanchez (didn't know who she was) had gotten chunky/frumpy, at least by Hollywood and ATOT Billionaire standards. Google images show she used to be rather sssssmokin'.

Possibly not safe for work.

Also possibly not safe for work.

But the most truly annoying character is his female cop partner/apparent ex-super model, who can't act for shite and is a small town cop who daily dresses for her public sector salary job in super expensive clothes. :rolleyes:

If you're scoring at home thats:

Longmire :thumbsup:

The Glades :thumbsdown:

Being pretty is only part of being attractive Gooberlx2; when she is "acting," and I use that term loosely, you just want to strangle her, she is so damn annoying I must say! I'm certain you know people like that in real life that once they open their mouth, it's a complete turnoff.

Nice eye candy but totally inappropriate work place attire.
My wife stopped watching when they added her.

Wow! Watched the first episode and was quite bored, so randomly googled feedback on the show and came here, and have to say I'm quite disappointed with the comments. I don't see why the girlfriend has to be hot and this somehow defines her, and if she's not she might as well not be in the show?? The problem with the show is it's too unrealistic and the guy is annoying and it was just boring to watch, not to mention killing an endangered species in the first episode.

I think the actress playing his...must...resist...spoiler...is pretty hot, at least into season 4, where I'm at. No emmy in her future, but oh well. The show isn't a deep mystery show or anything, but I like it. It's more pulp serial than anything else, and they keep making sure that Longworth stays just a bit unlikeable, consistently (that's been part of the plot of a few episodes, and it does sometimes come back to bite him).

I've never understood shows with vibrant color and fast pace being criticized as, "unrealistic," though. Why give a negative for lacking a trait that was never intended to be there from the start?

Killing endangered species, or not, is a recurring minor theme.
