Common Law (2012)
3/10
Cops In Therapy
12 May 2012
One never knows what will pique the interest of the American television audience, but for me Common Law is not that commonly good. The notion of two police partners working together through some real issues with each other by having them go to couples counseling is bad on its face. In any other police department would have been transferred and that would have been the end. I suppose that Captain Jack McGee is thinking that he's doing some progressive and radical thinking on their issues. I think his superiors would question McGee's thinking.

Michael Ealy's character of the cop from the wrong side of the tracks, a foundling raised in a group home is a good one. It should allow for all kinds of strange relations to pop up like one did in the pilot and help him in his job. But Warren Kole who gave up being a lawyer for being a cop, PUH-LEASE. It usually works the other way around like Jeremy Sisto's Cyrus Lupo on Law And Order. In fact I could cite some other examples in real life.

I'm not thinking this one will find favor.
