Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Robin Rowlands I downloaded this mainly to see how homegrown gal Rachel Carpani is faring in the US - she does her best with the lousy scripts and their eye-rolling predictability, but has not so far shone. A shame, as she's a pretty good actress when given decent material. Sadly if this show is going to be her leg up into the US TV scene it won't lift her far. I haven't been surprised or even entertained to any great degree by an episode yet, but as I firmly believe 95% of TV series suffer first season growing and adjusting pains for both the actors and the script writers, I am prepared to give Season 2 a try. (A classic example of growing pains is The Shield - the first season reeked, but it ended up being one of the most excellent police dramas ever.)Also, this show smacks of being an attempt at a female-oriented version of Blue Bloods, which is an infinitely better show. The premise of one member of a family of cops going into IA is full of potential, but regrettably, so far, Against the Wall fails to deliver, for me.
nowego I have been watching this since the beginning, coming from Australia I have to download this show and I look forward to it each week.I have been a big fan of Treat Williams since he starred in DB Cooper many years ago, so seeing a show with him in is a bonus for me even if he is just a bit part.The show revolves around a family of cops, similar to Blue Bloods, but only in that regard. Abby is the only daughter of the family and she joins Internal Affairs because that is the only detective posting available. This is much to the disgust of her brothers and father, but they get over it as they love their sibling more than they hate IA.While some of the scraps she and her partner, a pregnant Lina get into are a bit over the top, it is still mostly believable and very entertaining. The show is a police show that adds a lot of family drama and I enjoy watching it very much and recommend it. I look forward to this being on air for a long time to come.8 out of 10 for me.
tommyz The only reason I decided to check out this program was because I saw the promos showing Chicago.If you are from Chicago, you can clearly see this show is not filmed in Chicago. The only shots from Chicago are the transition scenes.The actual scenes in the program don't even remotely resemble the Chicago area. Where's the green street lights, there are no wooden picnic benches in Chicago parks, they are not "Divisions" they are called districts.If you are going to make a show based in Chicago, put some effort into making it look and feel real.Showing the skyline, an 'L' train, the River, the Lake, etc. doesn't make it Chicago.Show FAILS!
robmirley I'm completely fed up with Cop drama's and hospital stuff. But this caught my eye. Being a different slant to a cop program.The first one came across OK just OK. But the second! not researched, Improbable, weak rubbish!!! My sink could write better scripts. Which is where this program is going.The over acting is, cringe worthy. But I will for the most part, put that down to Very bad screen play.Coupled with even worse directing.The pregnant partner. I think I know where that's going, Gush Gush.. The guy who plays the captain. Couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. "Great work detectives" Something I think the captain, will say in every episode. Like its a real surprise that women can do that job. all that's missing from that statement is. Him ruffling up their hair as he say's it. Then giving them a dog treat. It is so bad I'm embarrassed, to admit I watched it.
