"There is nothing especially bad about Rosewood, but there’s certainly nothing new about it, either,” says Pilot Viruet. "It is a basic carbon copy of every background-viewing procedural involving two mismatched, opposite-gender, dueling personalities who solve crimes. It’s Psych/ Bones/Castle/The Mentalist, but with Morris Chestnut as a private pathologist (drink every time they say ‘pathologist'). It is one of those series that is set up to last forever, to keep plodding along with mediocre, overdone case-of-the-week episodes and, once in a while, a two-parter or a cliffhanger with no real tension.” PLUS: It’s a show you want to put out of its misery (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/foxs-rosewood-is-a-show-id-like-to-put-out-of-its-misery/article26478140/), it’s vibrant, flashy and fun (http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/review-foxs-rosewood-is-vibrant-flashy-and-a-whole-lot-of-fun-20150923), and it feels like a “blue sky” USA show from 10 years ago (http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/tv-radio/2015/09/23/TV-reviews-Blah-procedural-Rosewood-paired-with-soapy-hit-Empire/stories/201509230029).
