Agree - I mentioned the stilted line readings in last week's review as well. I think the actors playing Molly and Morehouse are especial culprits. I can't tell if it is simply the line readings or if the source - awkward writing - is problematic as well. Considering your comment about how it sounds as if they are in a…

I think it's hovering around potential goodness but not quite there. Always entertaining at the very least.

Would Kevin Corrigan count as a "more grizzled" choice of actor?

I think it's not just the actor, but the character as well. Corcoran is progressive and experienced, but still strikes me as a bit of an impetuous jock (after all he gets that nerdo Matthew to do his homework). But I think you're totally right in believing a different actor could have brought a greater gravitas on…

I think it makes sense that all the ladies love Cool C. to a certain extent, but I worry it will make their purpose on the show a little one dimensional. The only woman on Copper not currently hot for Corky is Sarah, and that's probably only because she has a burning hatred for the white race in general. She also,…

I thought Maguire's reaction to Molly's digging for Corcoran gossip was mostly blind loyalty and protectiveness with just the merest hint of envy. You just know it's going to take this guy forever to figure out the object of his affections is more interested in another.

Please forgive the late response to this and last week's comments (wedding followed by stomach bug, what a combo), and I'll forgive your beating this dead horse of a theory about my supposed prudishness clouding my judgement. I never expressed moral outrage over housewives or prostitutes, only a desire for more…

A lot of people responded to that comment about women's roles in this time period by saying duh, of course they were extremely limited, and that is true. I should have clarified by saying I just think television and film set during this time REALLY tends to fixate on prostitutes and brothels, and I'm being 100%…

YES! And a seamstress using the tools of her trade to defend her professional reputation via murder, no less. Like with Mrs. Grindle, I felt the seamstress could have used a little more screen time.

Freeman's vocation isn't made clear in the first episode; in the second you see him in his home with a child patient, and he is referred to as a surgeon. I'm also really hoping the show goes deeper into his story rather than keeping him in perennial sidekick status.
