I must say I was thoroughly disappointed that it was canceled after a single season. What I actually found very strange was the fact that even after all the episodes had aired, here on IMDb it still said - voting starts after broadcast ! Probably that is what killed it. I see all kinds of really stupid police shows, Rogue to name just 1, going into second season. But then I may not be considered a normal person by majority of native US viewers, being 1st generation Indian immigrant !May be if the makers had added some sleaze or foul language or maybe even a werewolf character it would have done better ! But then that is MHO.I really hope and pray they revive it. Apart from the 2 detectives the psychiatrist plays her character brilliantly. Of course I have seen her in British serials so my judgment may a bit clouded !

I...I just don't know what to say. I thought the show was absolutely awesome. I have a feeling it has to be the shoddy marketing which killed it's numbers. Two million an episode, seriously? This show deserved four, five times that amount. I wonder whether it's the case that people didn't understand the counselling wasn't due to them being "intimate" it was just counselling for their police relationship.I loved the characters, the story, the acting, the plot...ab.so.lutely everything about it.There is a special place in hell reserved for whoever cancelled this.I am a sad sad man, RIP Common law. I wish all the great actors/actresses in it the best of luck. I will always hoping for a resurrection....fingers crossed.

This show really impressed me. I found the script writing to be compelling and intelligent. The premise of the show is clever, some people may see it as a bromance but it actually integrates smart psychological analyses of the relationship between cops and interesting analyses of their personalities. All parts are acted well, I can tell the actors and actresses really got into their parts. They are convincing as the characters. Something I especially like about the show is its good blend of action and comedy (bro code jokes really funny). It is consistently a fun show to just watch for amusement while also integrating excitement in the criminal pursuits. This show is somewhat bold to address couples counseling for strait men. Its interesting psychological views on that amongst the many other valuable components of the show deserve big support from fans because some people many not be willing to try to give its unique premise as much of a chance as it deserves. I am really hoping for a second season and beyond for this show and its fans out there should write our praise of it to help that happen. The entertainment in this show brightens up my days sometimes and I appreciate its creation.

I know this show is supposed to be about 2 cops who have been partnered for 5 yrs (known for 7)and go to therapy together, but I get a heavy gay vibe even though they are straight. I don't care either way, but I keep expecting them to start kissing each other at any second.Big problem for me was the one cop firing his gun in broad daylight, outside a car dealership, next to the sidewalk and street with people and cars passing by – he shot at the wind balloon Gumby and said, "I hate that guy." This was directly after discharging his gun inside the dealership into a Lamborghini and white powdery drugs just flow out. But don't worry, they are too cool to report a car full of drugs with a street value of millions (I'm guessing) because they made a deal with the car salesman. Way too reckless and over the top.Oh, and their cop car is a Land Rover...Some aspects remind me of Royal Pains - and I can't stand that show on many levels.Glad to see "Penny" from Lost as well as Jack McGee from Rescue Me and Andrea Parker from The Pretender in the lineup. John Shea makes a guest appearance in the first episode.Overall it is OK. I will watch again hoping this show will hit its stride. My initial gut reaction
I'll be out by episode four.PS - Just changed rating from 3 down to 2. This whiny couples therapy thing is a bit much. The police woman (chief?) wants to fire them and the captain's response was that they are in therapy, it will be good for them, let's not fire them. Never happen in real life.
