Whiskey Cavalier

I think I'm gonna love this show. I love the characters, every one of them, but especially Scott Foley, who is SO damn cute in this! Been watching Mr. Foley act since Felicity, and he is just perfect for this role, his sweet and benevolent personality makes him even hotter as an FBI agent. I love him too much. The Mulder-Skully vibe is slightly annoying already, knowing Cohan and Foley's sexual banter will probably never evolve, but I can't stop watching regardless.

When I first saw previews for this show, I was thinking it probably wouldn't work; as it seemed a bit cheesy, gimmicky and too lighthearted. I love Laura Cohan from the Walking Dead, so I looked forward to seeing what she could do outside of the WD format. I don't remember seeing Scott Foley in anything, but discovered he mixes the lighthearted with the deadly serious seamlessly. As a team, they are perfect; like Mr. and Mrs James Bond, with a humorous element. They are both very physical characters, and they pull it off with the same martial arts-type zeal of actors in any serious crime drama. They are sexy, funny, smart, and compelling. The other characters are equally as interesting; their parts well acted - and they all mesh into a very entertaining show. A show I look forward to watching every week. I notice the ratings here for the show are high overall, as well as for each episode. Why is the show being cancelled? I'm hoping another network, or perhaps Netflix will pick it up.

If you were tuning in to get another FBI or Quantico, you'll be disappointed. The show doesn't take itself that seriously. But that's ok. They don't intend to. While there is action and adventure, this show is built on the unique personalities of the characters. Scott Foley is charming, funny and believable. No stranger to action, he leans in to the better side of humanity. Lauren Cohen is the exact opposite. She thinks the worst, expects the worst and goes in hard. Unlike her role in the Walking Dead, Lauren channels the "tough as nails CIA feel-nothing Clint Eastwood" vibe. When the two interact, it creates an enjoyable tension. And there is always a little action to satisfy the adrenaline need. This show is fast becoming one of my top 3. Highly recommend you tune in.

Yes, the formula is old, but that's becasue it works. There's a drier humor here that works, I'm looking forward to the second episode.

Just read that ABC has canceled my new favorite mind candy. Booooooo ABC! I hope someone else picks it up. Yes, it's lame and annoying. But is lame and anything and lovable, like Pysch. Each week I found myself smiling and getting more into the running "bits." Enjoying the banter and growing fond of these caricatures (not a typo) It's fun, and I will miss it.
