Synopsis

Eyes is an ABC television series starring Tim Daly as Harlan Judd. Eyes follows the firm of Judd Risk Management which uses marginally legal means to investigate individuals and crimes where law enforcement would fall short. With the help of high-tech gadgets, Harlan Judd and his employees recover money for victims as well as investigate individuals for clients but still manage to keep plenty of secrets from one another. In May 2005, having rescheduled the sixth episode twice, ABC announced that they would not be airing the remaining episodes until June at the earliest. They later announced that it would not be picked up for a second season and that the remaining episodes would remain unaired. New Zealand television station TV2 picked up this show and aired the complete series, all twelve episodes, in the second half of 2005. These episodes appeared online via BitTorrent soon after. The show was also partially aired on Singapore television station Mediacorp Channel 5, with the pilot episode and episodes #106 to #112 being skipped. Episode #111 was an exception, and was aired as the fifth episode. The show was also aired in full on France cable television station Canal Jimmy in 2006. In the beginning of 2008 the show was aired in full on Polish television station TVN 7. The series was shown on the Nine Network in Australia in 2007.

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
chow913 Annoying Characters Played By Great Actors Are Still Annoying With a phenomenal cast like Tim Daly, Gregg Henry, Geoff Pierson, and Graham Beckel 'Eyes' appeared to be a must see. The premise of high tech PIs was also intriguing.Unfortunately 'Eyes' fails miserably by giving us more annoying characters than a David E. Kelly show. Each and everyone of these characters is a socially crippled, selfish, nymphomaniac glutton.Of course this never held back the flawed characters of 'LA Law' or 'Wise Guy.' The main difference is they weren't annoying and had more substance behind their flaws.Instead of coming across as intelligent and strong, these annoying characters are weak. Morally and mentally.It's extremely unrealistic how these sub moronic gluttons are able to start legal wars with global criminal billionaire organizations. John Gotti would've had these guys whacked within the first 5 minutes of every episode.Since the financial wealth of every opponent is mentioned. "International arms dealer Mr. Greaseballo has $100,000,000 in his checking account and connections to the Chinese communists. So he can afford a $1,500 an hour attorney." Yet when it comes to playing hardball these criminal masterminds and their high priced attorneys fold like Superman on laundry day.These conflicts are both unrealistic and unsatisfying. In order for heroes to be heroic they must overcome stronger and evil villains. The billionaire villains of 'Eyes' are so weak the audience ends up actually feeling sorry for them.The writers of 'Eyes' are truly talented in their ability to reduce such an amazing cast of actors into bratty children playing with fire yet never getting burned.Avoid 'Eyes' at all costs!
clif_t2000 I have watched the series since ABC first aired it after Alias on Wednesday evenings. The show has a great "fit" in the Wednesday lineup since the two shows proceeding it are action/suspense/dramas in the form of Lost and Alias. With the viewer ship of those two shows already tuned in I think they will find this show to please their viewing taste. It is a very impressive series with a smart cast including of course Tim Daly in the lead role and great intermixed story lines going on both long term and short term. I sincerely hope the folks up at ABC don't judge this series too fast as it has fantastic potential and hopefully they will realize they are putting it up against an established heavyweight with "CSI".Personally I think CBS has went overboard on the CIS theme and it's refreshing to see a action/drama series like Eyes on the air. In recent years it seems harder to find series that are original and ones that contain some concerted thought when they were developed, this series has the earmarkings of being one of the rare gems in the lineup. From a personal viewing standpoint, I am tired of seeing too many of the reality series that truly aren't reality at all but just glorified game shows more or less where they offer prizes to folks in order to get them to participate. We as an audience could use a little more variety including action adventures like Eyes and maybe a little less "thoughtless" shows with no real entertainment value. The question to ask is will this show be one that you will remember years from now, for most reality shows that answer is a resounding "NO". For the producers of the show Eyes, I congratulate you on your originality and I hope you will find success with this creation.
sbpeasley I stumbled across "Eyes" last night, too, and was very impressed. Loved the stylish look, the acting, and the story lines. I found some of the characters to be over the top, but it worked. I was thinking I was watching son of "24." Good to see Tim Daly...still remember him so fondly from "Almost Grown," which was also unique in its day. It was also nice to see the two women working together instead of having the all-too-typical catty, antagonistic relationship women have on TV.I'll be watching eagerly next week to see if the show continues with the intrigue.
San Carter In the past television season, ABC has experienced quite a comeback with Lost, Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal and now "Eyes" (although I have just learned that Eyes had a disappointing forth place debut among the top networks).John McNamara, former show runner of Fastlane and Lois & Clark, has created a promising new drama starring Tim Daly (who also appeared in MacNamara's TV remake of The Fugutive) as Harlan Judd, owner of a multimillion dollar private investigations firm.In a way, Judd is kind of a cliché--you know the kind of hip, good looking, smooth talking, charmer who's amused with himself, but in this case, rightly so. The commercials promoting this new show reminded me of David E. Kelly's failed dramedy series, Snoops. Then again, lest we forget, "dramedies" were a failed genre all together, neither funny nor satisfyingly dramatically. Which is not the case at all for Eyes.The premiere episode revolves the story of a corrupt business man who has stolen one-hundred million dollars from his company. The CEO, and former best-friend of this thief, can't go to the police because the company would be probed by the government and subject to heavy scrutiny that would undoubtedly plummet their stock while leaving tops execs in deep trouble.The pilot episode moves along at a breezy pace, introducing it's cast of sympathetic and not-so sympathetic characters: Judd's best friend and most valued asset, Chris Didion, a man recovering from a nervous breakdown; Trish Agermeyer, a woman caught up in an affair with her opportunistic and dispassionate colleague, Jeff McCann; and Nora Gage, your multipurpose, ass kicking, woman of many talents and questionable loyalties. Towards the end of the first episode my mind hadn't been blow away, but I felt satisfied and I was looking forward to seeing more episodes of this sugary, light hearted series. But then in the last five minutes I was blow away (along with a character I assumed would be a series regular, but not anymore). In those last five minutes, a deliciously dark element was introduced I hadn't expected and now I can't wait to see what dastardly things lie ahead.
