Wanted - "The Wild Bunch" 08/07
 

"Connie taps Eddie Drake (a member of the U.S. Marshals Service with a less-than pristine past) to join the Fugitive Task Force. As Drake undergoes the scrutiny of the team, they are called in by the LAPD to help apprehend three suicidal gunmen. When the body count mounts, Connie and his agents find themselves in a showdown with heavily armed Serbian war criminals who have nothing to lose."

Enter Tergesen!

OK, I am going to give this a chance......The flashy trailers and "Wanted" soundtrack have gotten me. I hope this isn't a Shield Rip-off.

Good episode. Wonder if they are going to use that 3rd guy who got away later in the season. I think the dynamic is pretty good between the characters. Smartass, rico suave guy, churchie, hot chick, and the tattooed geek. :lol:

Is that the same Josey Scott from the band Saliva? I kind of like the show, although it kind of seems scattered at times. Reminds me of a grittier version of NCIS.

Yes, it is Josey Scott. Couldn't you tell by all the Saliva songs in the show? :lol:

Nah, don't really listen to Saliva.

Good episode! I'm really digging this show so far. Although sometimes it feels like they are trying a little too hard to be edgy or gritty.

I could definitely see myself buying this on dvd.

After 2 episodes, I am probably not going to watch again. I do not really like the characters, their interplay, or the attempts at being edgy. The dialogue is silly and the actual criminal stories seem to be an afterthought. None of the characters show any real emotion or character traits other than angry, bad-ass, or smart-ass. The whole thing is kind of silly.

I think that's why they added the family dynamic with Connie and his ex and kids.

Yeah, but that was pretty weak.

Eh,

Losing my interest real fast. The whole cop dad who was never home, got divorced, ass to his ex-wife has gotten old over the years. I agree with others. It's trying to be something it's not. I'll give it another week maybe. The previews for next week didn't make my balls twinge so we'll see.

I like the interaction of the team members but I'm a little put off by the level of violence, which is something I thought I would never say about a show. It's a cop show, so obviously there are going to be shootouts, but last week there was a little girl raped in front of her parents, and this week an entire family brutally murdered in their own yard including another little girl. Plus a tasty shot of a guy with half a head. It's like the show is crossing the line in an effort to be edgy and gritty, like they're trying too hard.

I agree the violence seems just to be gratituous
