Common Law (2012)

Deserved Better Treatment
I'm happy that this DVD collection is finally listed on Amazon. Surely that means it'll eventually be available, although no date is currently listed. It's a shame this show wasn't given a fair chance on USA. I saw lots of ads for it before it aired. Once the first episode hit the air, I never saw another commercial for this show ever again. I don't understand why. It had great chemistry between the two leads and they were playing fascinating characters - which was the best part about the show. These two characters were complex and messed up and so interesting to watch. Had the show aired another season, I was looking forward to learning more about both of them, Wes in particular, and what exactly had happened to him to cause such a major breakdown. Too many shows nowadays only gloss over the surface giving us either characters that are quirky just for the sake of being quirky or give us complex characters that are so dark and unlikable that I really don't care what happens...

Bring back Common Law
I was also disappointed to see the show cancelled. I think it could have been great. You laughed when needed and serious when called for. Shame on you USA for giving up. I wondered what would have happened if you would have given up on both NCIS shows.

Common Law Viewer
This was a very entertaining show. The quirky personality differences between the two main charactors is what made the program interesting. The group sessions is what allowed the viewers to get to better appreciate the amusing trials it took for the two of them to be able to work together as a team. It was like a male version of Rizzoli & Isles. Another cop program sure......but there was enough emphasis on their personalities rather than on the darker side of the crime itself to make it a joy to watch the program. I was really disappointed when Common Law was dropped. This was one program I looked forward to watching.
