Saw the pilot for Reckless last night – major disappointment. The only real star of the show was Charleston itself. Beyond that the story was pretty predictable. Basically all the locals in Charleston are either corrupt snobs from the south of Broad or stupid, misogynistic rednecks, with the exception of the African Americans who are all in the projects of course… The Charleston Police Department is corrupt beyond measure, a bunch of gun toting rubes who drug and molest their fellow female officers and then have them fired when they speak out.
ReplyDeleteEvery show has a saviour though… and into the fray we have a hard hitting fresh faced female attorney from the poor side of Chicago ready to take on these backward inbred rednecks, corrupt anti-bellum local politicians and gun toting misogynist policemen all by herself; taking one chance after another in the vain hope that she can bring some civilization to this swampy outpost.
Wow, now that is a fresh plot line. A brilliant and beautiful female attorney from north of the Mason-Dixon line who comes in to ram it home to the local rubes; teaching a few manners while ensuring justice is meted out fairly to her bedraggled and oppressed clientele. Why does it always have to be a female attorney from Chicago, NYC, Wash DC, Philadelphia or Boston? There aren't any great attorneys in Atlanta, Memphis, Columbia, Charlotte, Savannah, Mobile or Miami? Come on, something fresh for once… This story writes itself…
Oh right, and another thing… When the other hero goes to visit his former father in law at his law office, he and his buddies are chowing down on a bunch of crawfish. At this point I realized the writers of this drivel really don't know the difference between New Orleans and Charleston. If these were really locals their lunch would have been shrimp or oysters or possibly a low country boil. You can get crayfish in Charleston but it's not the local favourite. I guess the writers really wanted to get that image of powerful men in five thousand dollar suits sucking on crayfish heads… I personally think a better image would have been those same men shucking oysters fresh from the river – that way they would have knives in their hands. Now that would be scene right?
In any case, it's a tired genre. But I will probably continue to watch it as long as they keep showing great scenes from Charleston. I can ignore the drivel I think… or maybe I'll just mute the sound and listen to some beach music while I watch the scenery unfold. It is far better than using up IQ points trying to understand why Hollywood continues to think every city in the south is just another Big Easy…
I like most of what Catherine Hardwicke (director of the original Twilight) has done so I tuned in to this legal drama set in Charleston.
ReplyDeleteIt's got a few good things going for it. The location is attractive and different from what you usually get on TV. The two leads are watchable. Anna Wood reminds me of a young Juliette Lewis but a little more together looking. Cam Gigandet as a Southern lawyer is okay even though it is a departure from his previous bad boy roles.
The weakness of the series is the legal cases each week are a bit insipid. And the ongoing sexual harassment case doesn't seem that interesting to be the continuing story for a whole season. The sultriness seems a bit forced with some silly dialog especially in the pilot. The chemistry should flow naturally. Hopefully the harassment thing resolves sooner and the weekly cases get more novel. Or I don't think viewers will want to tune it week after week. It's a shame since the show has potential.
What fun! The good old boys have a beautiful, sexy, gutsy and, above all smart lady lawyer spoiling their lazy, corrupt, and down right mean dumb fun. Anna Wood is perfect as the smart sexy and proud of it lawyer who comes down to Charleston from Chicago and proceeds to run circles round the local yokel cops and their corrupt superiors and cronies. They fight back, of course, revealing just how dumb and venal they are in the process. Shawn Hatosy just flat out owns the role of the main villain. He is the vivid embodiment of the worst sort arrogant,slimy, sexist, sociopathic thug that passes for a law enforcement officer in this charming and scenic but deeply flawed community. Cam Gigandet plays the intelligent, successful and well connected local attorney who whilst alternating between helping and opposing our heroine provides a stark contrast to Hatosy's mouth breather. The story lines are solid and engaging and surprisingly gritty at times given the shows genteel setting. The cast on the whole are terrific, right down to the bit parts. All seem to be enjoying themselves. Oh and sometimes it's really funny.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to read these reviews. I really like this show and look forward to it each week. The story line is interesting and the casting is great! 'Reckless' has been good every week and is my favorite show of the summer. There are several story lines all of which are interesting and the relationship between the two main characters is developing. The female attorneys boyfriend is working undercover and is unable to tell her so she thinks he is bad news but he actually is a good guy. The trials are interesting cases each week. The relationships between all of the characters is shown and each week there has been a little surprise of some twist or something adding to the story line.
