If ever I'm bored at 10pm on a Monday.

Pilot review: Chase

This is about a female U.S. Marshall with a shitty childhood. She and her team of a white guy, stereotypical Latino guy, black girl, and preppy Latino new guy, operate out of Houston and hunt bad guys around Texas. It was the kind of background entertaining where you can kind of walk in and out of the room without pausing the show and not be concerned that you've missed anything.

What it has going for it:

• Jerry Bruckheimer: I'm pretty sure his name attached to something draws an audience of CSI fans.
• Timeslot: It comes on after The Event. It'll be able to limp along for at least a season if that manages to give it a fair lead in.
• Action-y and easy to watch.

Against it:

• It's your run of the mill, dime a dozen, procedural.
  
• The lead, Kelli Giddish, is a little one note. I would say maybe she's trying too hard to get the accent, but she's from Georgia so that's not it.
  

Common elements:

• I think I'm going to have to call Female Lead a common element, since this is the third of seven.
• Black SUVs also seem to be a thing, but maybe they're a thing every year.
• Set in Texas in common with Lone Star.
