Tv program nyc 22

I heard many say this is a rip-off from Rookie Blue. While I love that show, I am not as territorial as others and wanted to give this a fair chance. The premise is the same, a bunch of fresh rookies finally get confronted with with the real world, and we see them struggle in their new role. It's a tried and true formula, which has been used in different ways and can result in compelling television. The Pilot is supposed to engage us, get us interested in the characters and kick off to a healthy start that sets the tone for the season.

Did it do so successfully? To be honest with you: no. There are some nice things. The shots of New York aren't the flashy overused ones you see in most films and TV series.

Here you get to see the city without its makeup and it reflects on everything. The police station is worn and stuffy, colleagues are gruff and etiquette is non existent. It's not a welcoming environment and it builds tension, because all the rookies stick out like a sore thumb.

They are out of their comfort zone, even if they grew up in this city. Then, their journey begins. And this is where the show loses it's stride, in my opinion.

The acting, for one, is a problem. LeeLee Sobieski for example, has terrible line delivery. There's a scene The scene is obviously set up to show she's tough even though she's a thin blonde girl. The idea itself is pretty weak, but a strong actress could have pulled it off. LeeLee didn't. For one, the way she twists his hand is so amateur looking, you don't even have to be a martial artist to spot the difference.

Secondly, the way she says it is cringe worthy and immediately put me off. I'm all for strong female characters, but not in this way. There are more instances like this, where mediocre writing becomes actrocious because an actor simply can't sell it. Judy Marte Tonya Sanchez sometimes comes across as too cold, with an expressionless face that wouldn't do bad on a mannequin in a clothing store. The black guy boasting he'd "hit it before the end of the day", the Afghan guy getting pestered with Kite Runner references, etc.

It's annoying because it's stereotypical and no I'm not going to use the racist card, as it's overused already. If they wanted to create friction in the group or set a tone, there are more subtle and more effective ways of doing it.

The characters seem still too much of a cardboard to be real, and this feeling keeps nagging in the second episode.

They don't seem like real people. That said, there are some good performances there, though most don't come from the main cast. Maybe this is the kind of show that needs to find it's footing first before it hits its stride, but for now it's lackluster.

It seriously needs to up its game if it wants to make it beyond season 1. The only reason I am not voting 10 for this masterpiece is because I don't want this review to seem too rash, but believe me, this one is the new, if not a better - third watch.

Atmosphere, that's what it's all about, and it's back! Actors - I had good hopes for this show solely after looking at the casting, and they delivered; Adam Goldberg, with his Jeff Goldblumish feel is amazing as always, Leelee Sobieski we all know and love is a bit slow at the beginning but catching on, the new skin's are quite good as well, especially Harold House Moore which shines and promises a good, stable and confident acting role.

I watched all the episodes and find this series very "cheap" in production. I did see a few cameo's by some legends but that obviously wasn't enough to keep this show afloat. Shea from the series "Rescue Me" has a role here as a hostage negotiator but his character is down played by Lee Lee's character in a scene. I believe the budget was too short, the characters besides Adam Goldberg are horrible actors. The whole basis of the show is a big question mark???

Its so fake If this is what the studio's in NYC are producing I can see why the industry is faltering and moving elsewhere. I really enjoy watching this show. This is a decent show in my Sunday night lineup as there's nothing really going on right now Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Walking Dead, etc Happy to see Terry Kinney on a show. It's decent, nothing groundbreaking yet, but very enjoyable. Even happier that it's a show about the NYPD.

The acting is decent. Adam Goldberg is fun to watch. Most shows are slow to find their footing in the first season. The music is pretty good for the show Theme song is off the hook. Old school Jay-Z song, "Heart of the City. Instead of finding 22 complementary to Rookie Blue, I found it inferior and difficult to watch without making comparisons.

Both cop shows with rookie officers, the plot line of the first NYC 22 episode was interesting, but again, I kept seeing where they'd spun off of or would do something very similar in Rookie Blue. Maybe because the shows are on a different network, but it's going to be difficult to make these two shows work in tandem like the CSI's. Unless you just really love rookie cop shows, go with Rookie Blue and don't waste your time with NYC While 22's cast is more established total aside, watching Lazarus Adam Goldburg, sp?

Although there may be some interest in this program for its subject matter I don't think anyone will view this as an accurate portrayal of the life at work of a couple of rookies and their Training Officer. I love it when rookies solve the major crime at issue with a display of Sherlock Holmesian insight and street wise experience of Serpico!

There seems little depth to most of the characters and the story line seems like it was developed to compress the s into Tuesday night. There have been too many NYPD programs for anyone to suffer the illusion that the Gotham police work is anything but tedium mostly. Sorry this one needs help. I just finished watching the first episode and was pretty disappointed with what I saw.

It's definitely not a Third Watch or Southland. Anyone who has spent any time working in law enforcement on either coast would likely agree that many of the situations just aren't very realistic. We all have to give television some liberties in order to tell their stories but the story line from episode one of NYC 22 was a little tough to swallow.

I like these characters. There are a million stories of rookie cops in not just New York City but the history of television. Tweets by hollywoodchi. Free Giveaway E-mail.
