Ed Redlich, from without a trace fame, writes a new show about a chick with an impressive memory. He brings Poppy Montgomery with him as his lead.
Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) used to be a cop but now volunteers in a retirement home trying to forget her past. She doesn’t seem to be trying that hard as she goes on her own mission to take out a gangster whom runs a casino. And she doesn’t put up much of a fight when asked to work on a case she is a witness for. The show falls into the trap of making the lead look like the only competent person, finding the little things that crack a case that would only be missed by a proby. Each of her flashbacks is acompanied by slo-mo and a firm face, becoming irratating. Every cop in a cop drama has there problems and hers seems to be that she can’t forget, to me this seems a little whiney, she needs to move on and be serious about her quitting the force. It hasn’t grabbed me, but might become the new mentalist.
