In love with a prisoner

Reasons to watch this show, in ascending order of importance for members of this board 1. It stars Sarah Shahi (Carmen on The L Word) 2. It's really well-written and well-acted 3. The main character is a cop who served 12 years in prison on a false charge, and has just been released. So much in the first episode is about his re-entering life. They get so many tiny details about sensations and emotions. Like, he can't get enough fruit. And he's both crazy and zen, which is pretty understandable. He's not Nikki-like at all, and yet I'd imagine this is what Nikki experienced when she was released from Larkhall. Did anyone else catch the first episode? I haven't watched the second yet (problems with Tivo, currently downloading from Amazon), but I'm excited to keep watching.... |

Yeah totally. And I'm not going to be ashamed when I say I found her very sexy in this role. What can I say, a woman in power just does it for me. Plus the way they blew her hair out was very flattering. But I guess it's not clear yet (after the first ep) whether she's a goodie or a baddie. I'm hoping for goodie, and that she has an affair with Sarah Shahi. Will you give me CPR when I've suffocated myself holding my breath for that one? |

Oh god, that's hilarious. I expect she'll be a baddie until Main Character Guy (I've forgotten his name) redeems himself to her in some dramatic fashion during sweeps week. Sarah Shahi's character is interesting and I like that she's as flawed as her partner is. When she had that one night stand with the guy who wanted to know her name in the pilot episode -- it should have felt contrived, but it actually worked. She sold it to me. |

I did. Weird, right, to watch her being kinda freaked out by it? |
