Review of Minority Report

Another decent little show that will probably die sooner than it deserves. Don't believe that it's just a formulaic weirdo + straight cop show -- it uses the basic structure, which can still be fun, but has some surprises too. If you are a fan of overwrought hyper-dramas like Blacklist, this might not be for you, but if you like a show like Castle that does not take itself too seriously, and has little jokes that you might miss if you are not paying attention, give this a try. The whole first episode went by with no explosions and no shootouts; the big climactic action sequence was pretty tame, almost like a satire of the big action climaxes with shooting and explosions and stuff. There is potential for growth here (we'll see if it pans out) but I will be checking out some more episodes.
