Review of Rosewood

Rosewood (2015–2017)
2/10
Saccharine television...
27 September 2015
Rosewood is one of those saccharine series the US, in particular, does so well.

Its washed clean of any real depth of characterization. Instead, what you're presented with are bleached, politically correct, caricatures.

The main character Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr., a private pathologist is a pretty near perfect. He's smart, handsome and has very little in the way of the normal flaws, you would expect to find in a real human being. He's annoying upbeat and never phased. His only vice seems to be driving his bright yellow muscle car too fast.

For me this series looks a lot like the kind of aggravating nonsense politicians churn out around election time. You know the stuff, chirpy, irritatingly optimistic human stereotypes who love their mundane jobs and for some inexplicable reason get all excited about sleazy mainstream politics.

My advice, give Rosewood a pass. The acting is reasonable but its so constrained by the generally sugary tone of this series it really makes little impact. Two out of ten from me.
