Chappy Watched
My whole reasoning to watch this was because I wanted to see Tricia Helfer in something other than Battlestar Galactica and sci-fi.I did enjoy her performance in this along with her Battlestar co-star, Michael Trucco, and Buffy's Marc Blucas as well as the rest of the cast.The story and the cases are entertaining to watch, at some moments it feels like a hybrid of a serious show and a daytime drama.While it was entertaining and Helfer packs a punch in the role, I can see why it was cancelled; it is pretty much the same thing every episode with some personal stories chucked in.An entertaining watch, not sure I would continue past the first season if it were renewed.

This was not really a bad show.. Tricia Helfer.. binged.it/1zrn7E2 ..holds her own and does a pretty respectable acting job as Molly Parker. Wither or not you by into a woman with her outstanding looks being a Texas Ranger (and a long-time battered spouse) might be another story. The story lines episode to episode were typical but production values were good, and the time spent watching passed pretty easily. It would have been appreciated by the audience to see what happens with the abusive ex, but it's not to be, as in May of 2014, ABC canceled Killer Women after only one season. Not a great loss, but could have readily enjoyed watching another season or two.

I like the idea story line a female ranger. I am just not sure if I like this character. Overall the actress is okay. As some of the others had mention she does not play a ranger, perfectly, shooting with eyes closed. She seems masculine (this is not referring to the Texas personality, I think she plays that great), she is trying to hard to be a hot shot calling favors from DEA and no respect for her boss (really eating his pie). I think I would better connect with her if she were building herself up to become a hot shot, instead of already being a lone female ranger and already a hot shot. The relationship or partnership with the DEA does not seem believable, more like maybe this character got this job because she has connections to got of the books on her first case. Same with the boos and her relationship, they work well together although she over steps. There should be more tension between them if that is the case, right? Her senses of cases being "off" is too far-fetch so early in the show, that's why she has to announce them and not let the audience guess them. I think this is want causes to be predictable for some of the viewers. Even though some of them are predictable,the story lines are decent.

The producers at ABC studios must have felt a little skittish about this one so they billed this show as a Sofia Vergara ( the Columbian bombshell from Modern Family) production, to seemingly intimate Sofia is stretching out and headed for Hollywood "playa" status and , of course, to help boost this show's viewer-ship on pilot night. Oddly, she listed as one of many producers, and not listed at all on the production list here at IMDb. Don't worry about that Sofia, be thankful. This show is truly lame on all accounts. Poorly written, directed and acted. This 1st installment has a cliché'd story-line with a couple of non-mainstream treatments, but those deviations defy credibility and showcase horrible execution. Our lead, Tricia Helfer, who looks like a model, is a Texas Ranger named Molly Parker. Amongst her abilities aside from traveling all over Texas and Mexico in an afternoon, changing clothes- 3 times in the 1st episode without so much as a butt-crack or side-boob slip, ranch handling, she also plays....hold on...here it comes.....THE TRUMPET, AND at a professional level so high that when she plays, spontaneously jumping on the stage with the band ( I cant imagine where she was hiding her horn), magically she's and entire horn section ( typical Hollywood musician misrepresentation) making a monophonic instrument play harmonies!! I am sure there are female trumpet players in the world, but in my lifetime I have never seen one, and Im sure if I did, its not going to be a Texas Ranger. Not to be outdone in the inane-department, the previous scene had her deliver divorce papers to her senator/hubby, who had beat her repeatedly ( I guess Texas Rangers cant defend themselves or have beaters prosecuted) while saying in front of everyone in his meeting room " if you don't sign these I will tell everyone about your secret" : a powerfully scathing made-for-Hallmark moment if there ever was one. The trumpet scene immediately reminded me of those cheesy 60 shows where the episode ends in a saccharine-sweet way. Unfortunately, I don't see such an ending to this show, as it is sure to be yanked soon ( unless Ms Vergara uses her "assets" to keep it airing) but in all honesty she should run from this one. Pride only hurts, it never helps.
