It didn’t suck as much as it could have. It’s no NYPD Blue, and enven though I like Ron Eldard, he is no Sipowitz, no matter how many times he smacks the purp. I’ll probably watch it again next week.
It was OK. Hubby liked it more than I did, probably because of the cute female cop.
But ohhhhh, how I miss Bochco’s Murder One. I would trade a dozen seasons of Blind Justice for a single new episode of Murder One.
I liked it, hope they can keep the quality up. Lots of potential there.
Hang on, wasn’t that the premise for an old Rutger Hauer movie called Blind Fury?
I heard next week he shoots the dog.
I thought it was okay for one episode.
It was interesting and somewhat plausible for him to be solving a crime using extra “heightend” senses and to be able to hold a bad guy at gunpoint while blind, but it’s going to lose it’s believability quick when he’s solving crimes week after week that are all solveable only by using your sense of smell or hearing that no one else can pick up on.
Would have made a good one time appearance on NYPDBlue.
As a series, no.
The one thing that bugged me was he took his gun into the interview room. I always thought it was standard procedure to leave your weapon outside the room. If I’m right, that was a very contrived plotline to show that he <b>could</b> protect his weapon.
It kinda reminded me of that series with the blind blond guy guy who had the white german shepard. What was that called…?
Never mind, found it: http://www.tvacres.com/char_longstreet_mike.htm
I switched to L&O SVU after the initial sequence setting up how he was blinded. That just skeeved me out. I thought the narration was kinda dumb too. Am I the only one?
God, I hope not! The dog is the best actor on the show! I loved the way he barked when what’s-his-name tripped over the desk chair… I smell an Emmy!
We liked it. I love Ron Eldard.
Question: Is he totally blind, or only partially blind?
Based on some of the first-person images they showed of him seeing blurry shapes and lights, I’m assuming he is not totally blind (as in complete darkness).
I saw the second half of the episode. It wasn’t terrible. I missed the beginning where it told of how he lost his sight. Anyone care to recap?
He was with a group of cops in a shootout with some guy who must have had on 4 bulletproof vests. This guy got hit so many times. So the cop stands up in the open and takes aim and fires at the perp, at the same time the perp takes aim at him. The perp gets it in the head i think, and the cop gets it or gets grazed on the right side of his face/eye. Goes blind like that I guess.
Your turn now. I missed the 2nd half. Spoil it?? Did he get his man??
You left out the part about having to take his cowering partner’s weapon because he was out of ammo for his own.
Yeah, they got the guy. Ron had to bail out his partner after she gets knocked around and then hold the purp at gunpoint until help arrives.
He obtains a confession a la Sipowitz and has to protect his weapon to complete the story arc started in the first half.

Great call. Whatever happened to this show? As far as I can remember, it only lasted for a single season. It was a great premise, with great acting. Must have been too heady for the normal population. 
Murder One lasted one season and change.
The problem it had was that it was just one story for one season, so a lot of people felt that if you missed an episode at the beginning or in the middle, you were lost.
The lead actor changed in the second season from Daniel Benzalie to Anthony La Paglia as did the case and nobody could remember when it was on.
I finally got around to watching the first episode off my tivo. It wasn’t quite as cheezy as I was expecting it to be, but one big nitpick I really have to point out - the R train hasn’t gone to Astoria since 1986!!! The other end still goes to Bay Ridge, but the R & N trains switched northern terminals in 1986…these writers really ought to get a more updated transit map
