This wasn't my favorite show, but I thought that it was a very good show. I've never watched The Shield that the other commenter mentioned (maybe I should), but I thought the Wanted characters were believable and I enjoyed learning about them. It was a little hard-core and some of the characters were somewhat harsh, but I enjoyed it because the show was different than anything else that I watch and I enjoyed learning about the characters. While a bit harsh, the characters were likable. The one thing I didn't like was the politics against them so early in the show. That could have waited (or never entered the picture). I have to wonder if this was part of the reason for the show being canceled. I'm disappointed. I wish they would reconsider. I miss the characters.

I never saw The Shield so, I can't compare myself this show with the other. I find this show should be called a bounty hunter show instead of cop show. I don't see the arrests in hand-cuffs being done much in any episode of this series (which is OK at my taste, because I think hand-cuffs today are pesky instruments), I see the crooks being killed (which I'd never wanna be one of them, seeing this throw their eyes). On the first episode, we see three characters being killed, the blonde stripper gets shot in her apartment by the crook, the crook gets shot by Cony as he fights and kills one of Cony's alcoholic colleagues, how tragic is that ? Maybe the show is a mess at the beginning, because of three people dying, especially that blonde stripper, who didn't deserve to die. The next episodes are cool, looks like the makers of this series used the strategy of making this show look bad at the beginning but it turns out OK in the end. Most shows I watch should be like that !

0/4 A lot of people compare the show to The Shield. It's not. Really, it's only similarity is that both are about law enforcement. It stops there. Law and Order has just as much in common with this as The Shield.Cliché plots riddled with ridiculous devices. Most of these involve monumental incompetency--things that you'd PERHAPS excuse meter enforcement officers, but not a supposedly elite task force. The conflicts they face aren't challenging, or at all unique. Basic shake down stuff. And still they struggle. It comes down to the fact that these guys just don't think--at all.Characters--there's a fat computer geek, a hard ass, a fair and hard captain, a hot Latin guy, a hot girl. Don't need to say anymore.Everything else--is just as mediocre, from cinematography (lots of time lapse shots), to dialogue. Avoid.

TNT has got a lot of new good shows this summer. Like The Closer and Wanted. I know we already got a lot of cops series on TV these days and we should not get any more but Wanted is just great. I have seen the first three episodes in season 1. As I understand they are planing on airing all 6 episodes in season one. I really hope this show isn't taken of the air as a lot of other good shows has been the last year.If you like shows like The Shield and NYPD Blue my guess is that you will also enjoy this one. I know I am. So please don't kill this show too... Looking forward to the next episode. Just saw a trailer of it on TNT and it really looks good.
