Annoying Characters Played By Great Actors Are Still Annoying With a phenomenal cast like Tim Daly, Gregg Henry, Geoff Pierson, and Graham Beckel 'Eyes' appeared to be a must see. The premise of high tech PIs was also intriguing.
Unfortunately 'Eyes' fails miserably by giving us more annoying characters than a David E. Kelly show. Each and everyone of these characters is a socially crippled, selfish, nymphomaniac glutton.
Of course this never held back the flawed characters of 'LA Law' or 'Wise Guy.' The main difference is they weren't annoying and had more substance behind their flaws.
Instead of coming across as intelligent and strong, these annoying characters are weak. Morally and mentally.
It's extremely unrealistic how these sub moronic gluttons are able to start legal wars with global criminal billionaire organizations. John Gotti would've had these guys whacked within the first 5 minutes of every episode.
Since the financial wealth of every opponent is mentioned. "International arms dealer Mr. Greaseballo has $100,000,000 in his checking account and connections to the Chinese communists. So he can afford a $1,500 an hour attorney." Yet when it comes to playing hardball these criminal masterminds and their high priced attorneys fold like Superman on laundry day.
These conflicts are both unrealistic and unsatisfying. In order for heroes to be heroic they must overcome stronger and evil villains. The billionaire villains of 'Eyes' are so weak the audience ends up actually feeling sorry for them.
The writers of 'Eyes' are truly talented in their ability to reduce such an amazing cast of actors into bratty children playing with fire yet never getting burned.
Avoid 'Eyes' at all costs!
