Killer Women

It’s not doing a whole lot of work to examine the role of women in society, but it is a show with a single and still-novel goal: to entertain women, without patronizing them.

It breaks absolutely no new ground, but it's lively, fast-paced and enjoyable enough, if you like this sort of thing.

This is Texas, y'all. And you may very well feel like you've been to this rodeo before.

While the premise might appear to be plumbing some of the same culture-clash depths as FX’s “The Bridge,” in other words, it mostly settles for being an old-fashioned procedural.

Both [Killer Women on ABC, "Intelligence" on CBS] feel like paint-by-numbers hours, unsatisfying offerings that are difficult to recall an hour after you've watched them.

It's more video game, than TV drama.

This is a really bad show. It’s a show so bad that if it was smart enough to be a spoof, it would be genius. But it’s not.
