John Carroll Lynch,Jennifer Finnigan and Kimberly Elise give very good performances making this show watchable. However,the show failed to capture my attention.The way every case unraveled was somewhat mundane. I do recall some episodes that had me quite glued to the screen but overall most of them didn't intrigue me as much as I had hoped. Most importantly there are some major flaws in terms of law.It doesn't represent a realistic way of how the justice system works and that makes the show feel like a soap opera.If you can move past this I believe you will like watching it.Also,I believe that they could have used some better actors in some cases. Especially when it had to do with roles of the bad guys. I would recommend this show to anyone who is into crime related shows because after all it's a nice show to watch but I would feel obligated to inform them that it is nothing special.It's that type of show that you watch while you wait for better shows you like to release new episodes.Sort of like a pastime activity.

I watched this show for the first time with the premier episode of the 2006-2007 season. I watched it to see David James Elliott (of JAG fame) as the new character, ADA Jimmy Conlon. He played a very different type of character and it took me a little while to get over the fact that he was not playing Harmon Rabb, Jr. However, I really enjoyed the show and the characters and it had an unexpected twist to the ending. I never saw it coming. I like it when TV surprises me. And it's great to have DJE back on TV again. I wonder what other people think about his new character and if they think he has a long future in this show. I think he does, although I hope his character shows a bit more heart and warmth in the future. I'll watch "Close To Home" on a regular basis. It's a very good show.

I watch this show every time it comes on. I look forward to it every week. It always has a surprise close to the end of the show. When you think you know who did it and why; you get surprised by who really did it or why they did it. It has a great lineup of great stars. The actors in the district attorney's office and the police department are great. They do such a great job of acting that you think you are actually there with them. If you are looking for a show that shows police work, district attorney's office and a jury trial this is the show for you. I would recommend this show to everyone. GREAT SHOW AND A GREAT LINEUP OF STARS.

After watching Close to Home, I wish to congratulate you on airing a good family rated show. The family was represented as a loving mother, father and child. The violence was held to a minimum. Good won over evil. Thelanguage was suitable for most people to hear. It airs at a time (10:00 pm est) when children are asleep. The story line was well told. Please keep up the good work and give us more shows like this one. Jennifer was wonderful actress. I watched her on Bold and Beautiful and enjoyed watching her. The show Committed left a lot to be desired though. The story line was not a good one for most to watch. Thank you for taking my comments.Carolyn
