I think it would be really refreshing to have something with a peculiar sense of humor to upend the musty old crime shows on CBS.
And that humor will make or break the show. think it's okay? I think it's surprising as a CBS show, because there's so much off-beat, caricature-y humor or at least many attempts at it. we're definitely in caricature-land here) necessitates the character Ingrid, a mid-20s punk-rock tech-geek administrative assistant at the high school who helps Mary Beth out in her investigation. it's not like she's 70 and can't use a computer or, like, the answering machine. Mary Beth's technological incompetence (itself rather unbelievable for a woman of modest means in her late-30s. There's also an out of place (for me, dawg) character in Billy Shifflet, a 10-year old neighbor of Mary Beth's who stops by three times during the script to impart extremely eloquent and beyond-his-years wisdom to anyone and everyone. No one will accuse this script of subtlety. There's a lot of what feels, to me, like way-too-on-the-nose dialogue. The ramifications of a reveal involving corruption within the police department seem to be the long-odds Mary Beth and KZ will find themselves up against in series. What did surprise me was that Josh's death isn't a long arc. That they succeed shouldn't surprise you. Along the way, Mary Beth manages to butt heads with what seems to be the entire Atlanta PD. By solving it they hope to find the truth about what happened to Josh. The two are brought together by a case eerily similar to Josh's death. Her dead son's best friend, KZ, is a small time thug and fast-talking con-artist. The crime was never solved and Mary Beth spent her savings on a PI who, well, never solved the case. Set in Atlanta, Mary Beth Baker, a polite but tough Southern belle in the vein of Leigh Ann Tuohy from The Blind Side (prone to cover up swear words with phrases like "son of a biscuit") is a guidance counselor out to help her students, preferring creative tough love over punishment and constantly butting heads with the principal at the high school, a rabid Georgia Tech football fan, and a grieving mother whose son, Josh, was murdered a year ago in what seemed to be an altercation involving drugs.

Plus a little Southern charm to go with it. How did you like John's visit home? How about the Russian caper? Is Bryan fitting into the team better? Comment below.It's the madcap amateur private investigation adventures of crazy white woman and drug-dealing black guy! To catch up on Bryan's evolution, watch Taken online. But it looks like they may be making up for that in Taken Season 1 Episode 7. I'd have to assume Asha and the spies next door to her will make an appearance as well. Nothing at all about Bryan's obsession with Mejia, his sister's killer. It's ironic because in the films he's constantly rescuing his family members from danger they largely walk into. It was amusing to see how Bryan was amazed that Scott actually had kids and seemed to feel that spies couldn't have children. They have such a useful ability to wipe out their opposition in totally foreign territory. I must have missed they had time to set up a garrote in the woods, but nice effect, anyway. Not that things didn't work out well, especially distracting the spies following them with three people driving away in the panel van, or sending two dupes to the airport in their place to trigger the ambush. Granted, with John stateside, he tended to volunteer himself as the leader despite being the junior member of the team.
Well, for the second straight week, he played well with others and sublimated his cowboy tendencies into more of a team concept. I realize when a division is covering Russian activity, they're going to be stretched thin, but still.
Gretchen came off as incompetent, being unable to see the warning signs. His doing it for greed was such a letdown. But it was just a clever way to get a confession out of him. I thought Christina and John were serious when they left him alone with a syringe. Isn't it usually the most obnoxious suspect? I fingered Brant, the cocky young male supervisor, as the mole early on.
