Good new Mystery show on ABC
Well, maybe that’s debatable. I like “The Unusual” the new quirky cop show that debuted last Wednesday on ABC, my hubby, not so much. It replaced the “Life on Mars” which I only watched because it stared Jason O’Mara – yum. The show itself was dumber than a bag of nails and that ending – oy.
But back to “The Unusuals.” I liked the quirky cast and the weirdest of the entire squad. They actually solved a few crimes (the evil cat-napper for one) and the show set us up for future surprises. I enjoyed Amber Tamlblin as the newest homicide detective who has actually been promoted to the squad as a spy. Her family is super rich and she tries constantly to hide that fact. She got the job because as the captain told her “you’ve got money, you can’t be corrupted.” And he tells her – everyone has secrets. Hmmm.
I loved the detective (Michael from LOST) who wears his Kevlar vest 24/7 because most of the men in his family died at 48 and…he just turned 48. His partner, on the other hand, has been diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor and he seems to be invincible at this point in time. I can’t wait for Wednesday to see what happens next.
