I was iffy after the first episode, but I think it’s been getting better and it’s to the point of decent and watchable for me. (Which is relatively high praise because these days I limit my TV watching.)
I do think the title implies a conceit that is not actually born out (coherently) by the plot of the show. But I’ll just ignore the title.
“kind of… odd” or unusual???
I’m normally slow on the uptake, but it took me until Tuesday night’s episode to realize that “Unusuals” refers to the cases depicted rather than the characters in the show.
I’ve seen all the episodes so far and I’ve liked 'em. I don’t know why a dispatcher would talk about her personal life over the radio like that, though?
The crime spree bride sounds familiar to me, but I have no idea where. It must have been from an old pulp story or something.
Well, now they’ve wrapped up at least one big plotline, & it looks like 42-cop is getting a bit bolder. He was able to speak to his girlfriend this episode.
This felt like an end of an arc.
OK, I’m hooked on this show now. It better not get cancelled, dadgummit!
I especially like Adam Goldberg. We should be seeing more of him.
I must have missed an episode. I don’t understand why Walsh let Cole slide. Cole’s cousin killed Kowalski, Walsh’s partner, because Kowalski knew about Navin/Cole. How would the cousin have known that unless Cole told him? Why would Cole tell him?
42 did just what I would have done – put the damn vest back on, no phony “I’m fine now, I won’t worry about fate anymore”.
I agree. No death scenes for him though, please.
Somehow they’re going to have to be smart about his incureable disease and find a way for him not to die without some kind of magic fix happening to him.
I’m officially movie this show into the “Hope it sticks around” category.
And that was it. The Unusuals is gone. The episode was last night.
It’s disapointing really. In a television landscape where just about all the police procedurals and crime scene investiagtors have to stop raging homicidal maniacs every. single. week or investigate the death of the fury rape cosplayer hung to death by the midget S&M fetishist every. single. week, there wasn’t room for this.
A little drama and a little comedy mixed all together in a wacky police station.
It’s too bad.
Way late to the thread, but I’m also disappointed (if entirely unsurprised) that this was cancelled, I was really enjoying it. I’m so frustrated with network television. I’m fully expecting ABC to eventually go to 3 hours a night of Dancing with the “Stars”.
Alvarez wasn’t even on the episode last night. I liked this show… sure it was light weight, but it was also fun and enjoyable. I can only imagine what shit will replace it. 
Another disappointed fan of this show, one of the few cop shows I’ve ever watched regularly(Shield, Life On Mars, Reno 911 are the others). I’m particularly disappointed that, after the LoM and PD finales, this one didn’t really get a wrap up episode; it just felt like a mid season episode. I would have liked more of a conclusion with the Delahoy/tumor story. I’m especially going to miss Detective Casey Shraeger, really going to miss her.
I have to admit, this kind of grew on me as I kept watching it. The first couple of episodes were a little hard to get into, but I did come to enjoy it.
I am not a fan of zombies, but I just had to come in here and say I’m really enjoying the show. Yes, I came to it due to Jeremy Brenner, but…after having seen him in Ghost Protocol, and then in this, well…He does a much better acting job in this than in the MI movie, I’ve gotta say.
And enjoying the show on it’s own as well.
