does not sit well with the powers that be, in hollywood, and that's a pity because this show was as brilliant as anything the brits produce--really. I recommend this show cause it's great. It seems very weird but it complimented the same old cops and bad guy routine nicely. It also didn't really have a series or season closure either... Just kind of ran out of episodes. The network really fouled up by canceling this show. Overall this is a great show - so sad they ended it so early. This was a very enjoyable show with a great cast of actors & actresses that I love in other things as well. This is well-written, well directed, well acted show. It is mainly a drama with humor sprinkled throughout it. For me, my favorite character is Jason Walsh but I'm invested in all the characters.
I turn each week to watch this show because I truly am drawn back to the storyline and the characters. Although it is not a comedy the way Psych is, the pilot episode had me laughing out loud uncontrollably.
I loved it immediately and then read the bad reviews after a search on the web. He owns a dinner but only opens it when he feels like it. I preferred the storylines that were more about Walsh and Shreager as opposed to some of the other characters. I know that my complaint (sorry for my bad English) is probably just a message in a bottle in the ocean but PLEASE, I BEG YOU, at least make a FILM (with the same casting, of course...)!!! This show seems to have found the soul that Boomtown was searching for, and it doesn't take itself too seriously, which was Boomtown's downfall. Understand, I am no fan of cop shows. The Unusuals caught my eye last night, and I was desperate for some decent TV fare (all I currently watch is The Office and Intervention, well, okayand The Millionaire Matchmaker, but I am just plain humiliated to admit that). 14 out of 16 found this helpful It's so hard to pick a favorite. 35 out of 224 found this helpful True, there are the inevitable crimes of the week that viewers will be treated to but it's the well acted characters, witty and funny dialog as well as the "unusual" situations that keep things interesting and I for one was getting into this show.
The Unusuals is a very fine one season show. am an absolute fan of Jeremy Renner (really great, charming, extraordinary, irresistible, deep and intense actor) and of Amber Tamblyn (also great, delightful and brilliant actress). I highly recommend ths one to anyone willing to give it a chance - you won't be disappointed. This was a great series and I was so sad that the network cancelled it after 11 episodes. You get a sense of the personalities of the main characters while they solve a boatload of cases week after week, but since the shows are mostly about the cases and not about the characters, nuggets of information about the heroes' quirks, family lives and other intimate details are about as rare as actually finding a real cherry in a Hostess Cherry Fruit Pie. The characters are immediately vivid and cleanly drawn. My gosh, you've got how many millions of people watching Real Housewives or that hospital show based in Seattle where the impossibly attractive, and thus vapid, characters hang around posing like they are in an MTV video, and The Unusuals gets bad reviews? Set in New York City, the series revolves around the detectives of the New York City Police Department's (NYPD) fictional 2nd Precinct, many of whom have their own eccentricities and secrets. The show itself is a great blend of comedy and drama. Network TV--give me a reason to tune in, with shows like The Unusuals! I hate that this show was cancelled before the writers could explore the flaws. Over the years audiences have been treated to gritty, dark cop shows but ABC's new show "The Unusuals" is something really different.
Having watched everything from LAW AND ORDER to NYPD BLUE, I have a pretty good idea by now how police procedural shows work.
Too bad this series didn't last longer. The actors are great in their parts, it is very tongue-in-cheek and dramatic at the same time. They're funny and easily likable except for one character. The model takes into account factors including the age of a rating, whether the ratings are from verified purchasers, and factors that establish reviewer trustworthiness.This page works best with JavaScript.
Perhaps I missed the information that indicated this was a comedy to some extent.
Only downside is that you may like it so much that you become distraught at the idea of only having ten episodes to watch. The Unusuals is an American comedy-drama television series created by Noah Hawley that aired on ABC from April 8 to June 17, 2009, in the U.S. and Global in Canada. There's a heavy emphasis on dark humor and eccentricities that gave me a few laughs, but there's something going on beneath the surface and only by watching these characters will we ever find out. If you haven't watched this show, tune in and give it a chance. The Unusuals is a unique comedic procedural set in a New York police precinct. The team and partner interactions were clever and real.
