Review of Smith

Smith (2006–2007)
4/10
big name cast, weak show
25 September 2006
The first episode just didn't deliver. I had high expectations because of the cast and the fact that John Wells was producing, but the show just never grabbed me. It had some action but also seemed very slow at times, pretty boring for the most part. It just didn't work. I didn't buy into it. Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen etc. are all very good actors, but for some reason they are not engaging in this show. Well, I'll somewhat take that back, Ray Liotta is always engaging. However he was less engaging than usual on this show, and I love Liotta as an actor. I don't know if it was the writing, the directing, or what, but something was definitely off. However, Amy Smart was quite entertaining. She seemed to be the only interesting character. The cast as a whole is very talented and skilled, it is surprising that it just didn't work. That leads me to think it's more the fault of the writing. Oh Well, I'll give it another chance and watch the next episode, but the pilot was not impressive.
