After reading the mostly negative reviews for this show, I felt like I had to come to its defenses.
Yes, the first couple of episodes are a bit all over the place, as if they couldn't really decide where to go with it. Is it a gritty crime show, a drama, a comedy? Moreover, the main character ( a stunningly beautiful Kate Beckinsale gone blonde!!) is quite exasperating at times, especially when it comes to her personal relationships. So, like many other shows out there, you have to stick with it until it finds its tone, which you'll see happening by episode 3/4. When it does figure out what it wants and the plot gets going, cutting out the main character's family drama and focusing on the whodunit aspect of it all, Guilty Party is a hoot at some times, keeping you on the edge of your seat at others. The ridiculous situations that arise during the investigation are laugh-out-loud funny and the mystery is mysterious enough to keep you guessing. Last but not least, great acting all around as well as a great soundtrack! Give it a go!
