Did anyone just watch that episode of Shark... So ridiculously bad....

[Movies205]

Wow... In all my life I've never seen a show, get down on it's knees and ask to be executed. The show was going so good, and then all of a sudden a complete 180 and it's dealing with terrorist and dirty cops. This episode put a bad taste in my mouth that's how bad it was

It was no worse than any of the others. Cept Alexis Cruz go offed.

I like Shark. It's like "What if House had gone into law instead of medicine?" And it didn't matter who got offed last night-it would still be somebody I'd miss.

The only character on that show who's worth a damn in the first place, IMO, is James Woods. Every other character is just a cardboard cutout and completely uninteresting (a slight exception for the daughter) from what I've seen.

That´s what turned me off on that, it clearly looks like a knock-off of House.

There are a lot of similarities. Main guy who has an abrasive personality, who's fantastically good at what he does. Who has a bunch of side kicks he keeps around to wale on and stroke his ego. Female boss. But that's as far as it goes. Sebastian Stark clearly has a work face and a home face. House is the same jerk 24/7.

 

[Chris Wallace]

You're right & you have a good point. And while Greg is never above using deception & breaking the law to achieve his ends, there are lines Sebastian won't cross-not many, but some. Like a friend of mine said. it's a show that goes out of its way to make its lead character unlikable, thereby making him irresistable.

Well Stark is a lawyer. In law arguing and messaging the truth to your point of view is what it's all about. Being a Doctor is more about hard and fast rules.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Being a lawyer is often about bluffing & playing verbal chicken.

 

[lars573]

No doubts there. Either way it's a lot more grey areas than being a doctor.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Agreed. I love lawyer shows for some reason. I'm heavily into Law & Order, SVU & Justice as well. But I never cared for L.A. Law much when I was younger.

I only watched it once for the SM3 trailer but I just couldn't get into it. I love James Woods, I may give it a go again later.

I was surprised they killed a cast regular.
