This show is one of the most boring shows on TV. There is never any point to the story but still all scenes are filled with dramatic acting, where everyone act extremely adult and serious.Annabeth chase or whatever she's called, is the most boring face on this earth. It's like she's wearing a stone-mask. Nothing charming about her at all. And she's a single mum.. oh yes, that's such a lame way to show sensitive site, "she's not just a tough woman out there in a mans world! she's also a mum, and a single mum! She has it all!" Well I'm not buying it! it's horrible.

I watched this show for the first time with the premier episode of the 2006-2007 season. I watched it to see David James Elliott (of JAG fame) as the new character, ADA Jimmy Conlon. He played a very different type of character and it took me a little while to get over the fact that he was not playing Harmon Rabb, Jr. However, I really enjoyed the show and the characters and it had an unexpected twist to the ending. I never saw it coming. I like it when TV surprises me. And it's great to have DJE back on TV again. I wonder what other people think about his new character and if they think he has a long future in this show. I think he does, although I hope his character shows a bit more heart and warmth in the future. I'll watch "Close To Home" on a regular basis. It's a very good show.

Wasn't the scene where the garbage man was talking to the detective great? The garbage man, played by none other than the infamous Lenny Schmidt, gave a great rendition of his account of how he ran across the suspect earlier that day. He explains to the detective that in no uncertain terms if he runs by that guy again he would most likely clock him a good one since he cut off his truck earlier that morning. He also explained to the officer that as a garbageman he is very busy and doesn't have much time to watch TV and other stuff. So hence, and I quote, "I read books". Books? A garbageman reads books? Good stuff. I'll keep watching.

I watched an episode of this last night, the only episode I will be watching and from the beginning it didn't flow right. The lead-in to the case was good, but from there it took a swan-dive and did a delightful belly-flop.I think it extremely unlikely that a prosecutor with a supposedly strong case would throw the entire case away by questioning a suspect after a request for an attorney has been made. Everything from there on became what is referred to as "Fruit from the Poisoned tree". Her whole case was based on this evidence, which when it came to arraignment was thrown out, except for ONE single piece of evidence which they obtained through a "seperate investigation". The last time I looked a single piece of evidence which proves intent, doesn't necessarily go beyond reasonable doubt.The main character Annabeth, appears to be written as a smartly intuitive prosecutor, who can clearly tell when a suspect wants to confess, but it appeared that once the writers got that far, they didn't know what to do next.The dialogue in it was wooden, certainly the supervisor in the Prosecutor's office appeared so wooden, he either grew on the spot or was poured from a concrete mould.It's certainly not the edgy drama with an aggressive lawyer that it was touted as, it's a lightweight trying to punch well-above its weight and it's leading with its chin.
