.. it was good, but not a huge loss to see it end

bjarias

The series did not end after just three seasons through the fault of the actors. They did their part (and look as if they had a darn good time while doing it). But a story about the life of a hard living, heavy drinking, promiscuous, 50 year-old female detective (with an angel buddy) was just not ever going to capture a large TV audience, and the continuously falling ratings reflected that fact. The show in all probability would have benefited from fewer recurring characters.. and spending more time with those remaining. As for Holly Hunter.. bit.ly/16lc7ck .. her acting was consistently solid, but her diminutive physical stature, and the fact that a couple of hunks would be chasing her about as if she were Kate Upton, did not lend credibility to the storyline.. she did most times make it fun to watch though (can do a wasted boozer better than most anybody). Some of the episodes don't come off well, but when all things line up.. they are absolutely something special to watch. The third season was the weakest of the three, with several oddball episodes that ended the series, and coming at the wrong time to assure the shows fourth season... (and once it was over for Connie... well, that was a premonition of what was to come).

score 7/10
