    CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
    Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
    Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
    Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
    chow913 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!
    pancake_repairman Could easily be mistaken for an addition to the insipid CSI franchise. It looks like they bought the glitter they spray their sets and actors with from the same supplier, as well as the computer chips they insert into their robot actors with the programmed pauses and rise and fall cadences to turn every banal line into a shakespearean monologue. It's hard to imagine how anyone other than upper income Ken and Barbies could accept any of these characters as representations of human beings, either actual or idealized. I would find it difficult to tell you what actually happened in most scenes but I'm not sure whether it's because the writing is so vague or just because the daytime soap acting threw me from even following it.
    svLandSave-1 I'm rather upset that it has not been on again since a lot of us really put it on our favorites list !!!Obviously, it's nothing personal, But I don't watch but 3 prime-time shows per week, EYES being only the 4th. It's a smart, witty show, the cast are perfect in the assigned characters they play.Tim is just thee Best and being humorously Irreverent is just such a delightful kick, and the show rings true.... I'm telling anyone that wants to hear... from this discriminating female, This is thee ultimate role for TIM DALY !!!!WE'VE GOT TO ENCOURAGE THe almighty "network" or 'producers' Or the 'powers that Be'..... TO PUT THIS SHOW BACK ON THE AIR !!!!Please "Our Eyes, want to See EYES about 40 more episodes.Signed Blue Eyes, SV
    stevelewis62 After watching the second episode, I have to say that I've lost interest. None of the various plot lines seemed to have any oomph, especially the one about the high-powered business guy whose testimony was needed to save a young fellow from going to prison. Why didn't the police interview him before the trial? Seems obvious to me, and it would have saved a lot of effort.It is also very difficult to keep all of the players straight, at least it was for me. Some of the characters I was looking forward to from the first episode, but I couldn't even recognize them in the second. Lots of pretty faces, but many of them looked the same to me.
