Last night, I went to bed at 9pm. It was GLORIOUS. I also think I figured out 1. how to structure this story that has been sort of limping along in my head, and 2. what the title should be. Now I have to actually write it. Sigh.

I finished watching The Unusuals over the weekend and I really liked it. It's not that it was all that groundbreaking

Exactly. Sorkin's woman issues are well-known, and I don't want to set myself up for being angry every time I watch.

I will say that had the show gone on, I'd have liked to have seen Walsh's saint status tarnished a bit. He is just a little too perfect, if that makes sense. But it was SO NICE to see Renner playing a truly decent guy who doesn't get set on fire, or shot in the face, blown up, on death row, etc.

And so agree about not sexualizing her, even after introducing her dressed as a prostitute. I was so pleased by that.
that first arc about Detective Cole's background. Every time that annoying guy said "Navan" I wanted to shoot myself. Or him. or my television.
That was insanely annoying. And oddly unbelievable. I mean, yes, the show was quirky, but for pretty much everyone else it took realistic quirks and exaggerated them a bit. But I didn't buy Cole's situation at all, especially not when Frank was such a caricature. You're probably right that that hurt them, having it upfront as it did, sadly.
I even ended up liking Alvarez. Shocked myself with that one. But that was the strength of the show - it made you buy these outlandish characters. Shame it didn't last.

Yeah, that struck me as an "it's season four and we're out of ideas" storyline, not something you lead with right out of the gate. Plus Frank was just SO ANNOYING. I wanted to claw my face off every time he was on screen, and not in a good way.

Yes. He was eventually humanized and fleshed out just like the others - I thought he was just going to be the Frank Burns, but he could have been the Charles Winchester if the show had gone on.
