could not stand the camera work


I don't find the constant movement of the camera hip, I find it distracting. It makes me look at the tv more than the screen. I'll be glad when this dated style of filmmaking goes away.

I have to agree because while shaky cam doesn't bother me most times for some reason it was very pronounced on this show. A shame too because I truly enjoyed it and even though I know an active camera didn't lead to the show's cancellation I can say that I'm certain it didn't help either.

'Cause I'm Black you think I did it?

Absolutely agreed. I think the only thing I didn't like about this short-lived series was the constant shaky camera work and the flashback scenes in every episode that really just slowed down the entire pace of the show.

I really don't think NBC gave this show a fair chance. I get that the ratings were low but I feel like if they had at least given it a full season, they could have ironed out some of the more rough edges.

I liked the storylines, I liked the actors and the chemistry they had with each other. . .I've seen a lot worse last a lot longer.
