Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

My husband and I have been watching this show since it came out. We enjoy this drama because of the way it is - bloody, gripping, and sometimes the characters don't follow procedure. Frankly, it's what most of us secretly hope for - that the bad guys get the crap kicked out of them to get the job done! So, a lot of cop shows have blood and guts - CSI, Law & Order & others - and they are still showing. I don't see the whining and crying that I did here about those shows. Hey, folks, if you don't like dark drama, acted by a talented cast, find your favorite cartoons and enjoy those. We are VERY disappointed about the decision to cancel this show. Please re-think your decision.

A very good first episode with an interesting angle on a standard 'murder or suicide' plot. Blair Underwood makes an exciting and more hands on Robert Ironside. His interactions with suspects reminded me of what Columbo would do if he wanted the suspect to know how smart he really was. Pablo Schreiber is great as the out of control detective Virgil. The obligatory origin episodes kept the rest of the Ironside team from being fleshed out but hopefully the show will be kept on long enough for that to happen. The show is so much different than the original Ironside that I wish it wasn't a remake but was its own show with Underwood not having to co-star with a wheelchair.

Another example of why remakes of good old TV series can be bad. Blair Underwood is no Raymond Burr and will never be. The original Ironside had this typical 60's-70's flavor that you hardly see in series today as well as some great guest stars but also some great actions and intensity. this one is just another remake in order to relaunch something that was big in the past. The script of the episode is poor and the plots are poor too. Watch the original Ironside if you want to see the real thing. For many fans worldwide Raymond Burr immortalized Ironside. Blair Underwood simply doesn't fit the bill at all, same for the other characters of the show, they aren't the original ones. This TV series deserve one out of ten because it lacks originality and is a big disrespect to the original Ironside series

This was the first episode. It was an infomercial for the show. As mentioned above the actors were well chosen and competent in their roles. I DO wonder why they moved the setting to New York. (They could have stuck with San Francisco and shot in Oregon, Washington or Vancouver).The writers should not expect to use Blair Underwood's sex appeal to push the series along. (This didn't work with Jimmy Smits in "Outlaw"). Furthermore, they shouldn't trade on nostalgia for the old series (like they did with the failed Bionic Woman and Knight Rider attempts).This IS the gritty, sexy Robert Ironside that was promised. BUT RAISE THE BAR on the WRITING. (Think: Law and Order franchise, West Wing, E.R.). Some of it HAS to be about police work and criminals.
