3.0 out of 5 stars The setting sets K-Ville apart ...., September 19, 2007

This review is from: K-Ville Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)

So many cop shows, so little new about them. But the setting elevates K-Ville, giving familiar elements like an officer on the edge, mismatched partners and car chases a new twist. I'm interested in Anthony Anderson's character (he's the angry one, about to break from Katrina wounds that won't heal despite his physical and internal labors). And Cole Hauser's character managed to surprise me at the end, with a twist I didn't expect. It's worth checking out, for sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Formulaic, but with loads of potential, October 14, 2007

This review is from: K-Ville Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)

I was a big fan of Miami Vice when I was in High School, and I remember the uproar surrounding it because of the negative light it cast upon that rebuilding city, so K-Ville appealed to me on a number of levels when I first saw the previews. Like Miami, New Orleans has always been one of my favorite cities -- both the fantasy and the reality -- and as a setting for a compelling drama, there's simply no better backdrop than the post-Katrina NOPD, and K-Ville has loads of potential because of it.

Anthony Anderson and Cole Hauser quickly establish themselves as strong leads capable of carrying the series on their charisma and chemistry alone, and if the writers don't quickly find a distinct voice to match the show's setting, that's exactly what they'll have to do. While the pilot episode's formulaic main plot is a bit outlandish, failing to do enough with its intriguing premise while being resolved way too easily, a strong supporting cast -- including Derek Webster as an NOPD deserter trying to get his job, and his dignity, back -- and several intriguing character-driven sub-plots bode well for future episodes.

UNBOX NOTE: I viewed this episode on my Creative Zen 4 GB (Black) and both the audio and video were impressively crisp and clear. Transferring via the Unbox player was quick and easy, too.

I didn't think the show sucked, but it wasn't the best I ever watched, either. I do think it is worth another watch, that is before quick on the draw FOX cancels it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch it fast before they pull it
It's likely that this won't make 6 airings. Bad music, acting straight out of a 70's cop show, dialogue that's indecipherable unless you speak ghetto.

This program was interesting in concept, but laughable in execution. The plot was almost a copy of an old Scooby-doo cartoon. The acting was over-dramatized, and bad. Read more
