Rains (NBC)

[Pariah]

I just watched it. I liked it, I think. I may even grow to like it a lot.

I was unprepared for what it was about, though. I thought it was going to be a comedy--sort of a cross between Monk and Medium. It wasn't.

Goldblum plays a brilliant, but slightly unhinged police detective in LA. He started "seeing" his victims--hallucinating them--after his partner was murdered. These victims become his "partner" in the case, and the more he learns about them, the more helpful they become.

Goldblum, as usual, is really good.

I downloaded the pilot last fall and turned it off midway through. If I want to watch a quirky detective show, I'll watch Monk.

Yeah, but that's it--he's not really all that quirky. He might be certifiable, but he's not quirky.

I think it's an interesting take.

Those shows all kinda blend together for me. I watched and it seemed okay but nothing I'm gonna DVR incase I miss an episode...
