bobquasit | Venting Jordon

I couldn't resist going over to the IMDB and venting my opinion about Crossing Jordon:

Predictable and not authentic

The series is supposedly set in Boston, but is about as authentically Bostonian as a Philly cheese steak (I think it's mostly filmed in Toronto - it's DEFINITELY not filmed in Boston). Apart from that, I found it painfully predictable. Some episodes haven't just *blurred* the line between real science and the supernatural, they've plowed up the ground that the line was drawn on and dynamited the underlying bedrock.

In other words, for a show which purports to have a mystery element, the writers simply don't play fair with the viewers.

The show also suffers from more than a tinge of "Providence" syndrome - the heroine is SOOO perfect, almost always right when she bucks the system (except for a few "very special" plots where she makes a mistake"), and every man is in love with her. Annoying!

I did like the characters of Bug and Nigel. They were funny and well-acted. But they don't make up for poor writing and utterly stale plots.

I suspect the comment will get a lot of bad ratings from fans of the show. Oh well.
