Well that is 45 minutes of my life I wish I had back. I don't believe the writers missed one cop show cliché. The story line was shallow and predictable. This show came off as a marriage between a seventies disco documentary and a twenty first century forensic science field trip. Morris Chestnut played the stereotypical lead role well, unfortunately there was no way to develop the character that did not come off as banal and trite. Jaina Lee Ortiz was totally unbelievable as the "tough cop with a chip on her shoulder" kicking bad guy butts all over the place. The "lively banter" between the characters was sophomoric at best. Fox has some great shows in their line-up this season, unfortunately Rosewood is not one.
