You know, I made fun of the promos. I laughed at the premise. And, God help me, I friggin loved the show. I did. It was very well written and acted. But the REAL genius of it was the editting and directing. The pace was so electric that I actually felt my heart beating faster during the interrogation scene and several others. Fantastic crescendo that delivered every time. What the hell? Shows with this kind of premise and pretentious titles like "Blind Justice" are NOT supposed to be this good!
Reviews for the show have been middling (getting B's and C's), with the exception of USAToday who liked it. Their main complaint was that they have a hard time believing that the writers can carry the principal conceit of the "blind cop whose coworkers don't believe in him" through an entire series. Of course, when I read that, I remembered that I thought the same thing about Desperate Housewives before I got hooked on that, too.
Bottom line: much to my chagrin, this show was fantastic. I'll definitely tune in next week.
Yeesh, after this surprise I might actually tune in for Jake in Progress.

Word. Word, indeed.
