This is one of those shows where one starts to feel bad for the ensemble, as they trudge through bad scripts, doing all they can to elevate it but sinking into the generic quicksand as Wilson over-acts his way into cancellation.

It's not the character work or the performances that take Backstrom in the occasional wrong direction. The evidence convicts the writing, which is suspect in each of the three episodes sent to critics.

Backstrom is a lifeless carbon copy of a dozen other shows.

On Backstrom, neither the character-driven byplay nor the mystery-driven suspense is award worthy, but together they kill an hour pleasantly. Is that a crime?

If given the chance, there's a real possibility for the show to become a decent hit with a passionate fan-base that will follow it to the depths of hell.

Backstrom isn't just far-fetched; at times it's downright silly. And clumsy. And painfully obvious.

Wilson's talent for dark humor helps keep us interested in Backstrom, even when he's irritating.

The characters talk at a breakneck pace, the tone is dizzy and yet the results feel run of the mill.

Crime dramedy with offensive lead misses the mark.

Halfway through the episode I realised that Backstrom is just a bad House, with a few more dead bodies.

What you'll see is the best broadcast TV cop drama of the season, with a dirty-to-the-touch sleuth played to the hilt by an actor who's very much up for this. Rainn Wilson has found a role that fits him like an ugly, stretched-out poncho.
