Review of Touching Evil

Touching Evil (2004)
9/10
I wish they could bring this show back from the dead
18 November 2014
wow...it's been ten years since this amazing show aired and exactly that long for me to discover it. How does something this mesmerizing get the axe while formulaic crime drama lives on...and spins off more of the same drivel?

The cast is outstanding. The chemistry is amazing. How could network execs not see that? Kind of a no-brainer ten minutes in. No surprise that Donovan goes on to a 7 year hit called "Burn Notice", and Bradley Cooper becomes a box office stud. But the people in charge with all their wisdom canceled it. Head scratching, for sure.

I binge watched yesterday, couldn't stop watching, then dreamed about the characters last night. Now that I've seen all the episodes, I feel like something's missing. I don't want to watch what's on t.v. now...I want more of THIS! I wish they'd bring it back from the dead, just like they brought back Creegan...with the same lead characters. It would be a huge hit today.

This one was truly special. Too bad the network didn't have the patience to see it through or, apparently, the skill to market it well enough to get it the notice it deserved.
