This show surprised me. I decided to check it out and see how it was and I found myself enjoying it right from the start. The writing is smart and the action scenes are well done. The cast they picked does a great job with portraying the characters. It seemed to get better and better as the story progressed. Overall, pretty good show.

The romance aspect
A decent sci-fi Rom-com hybrid.
First of let me just say, this is the type of book that makes you look incredibly silly when reading it in public. It had me laughing until I couldn't breathe, and thanking my lucky stars that I read it in the comfort of my own home.
The characters in Colgan's book are a breath of fresh air: smart, just the right amount of geeky, and incredibly funny. The mix of the different characters and personalities within the group works perfectly, and as I said they have you crying with laughter. Connie is a fantastic main character: interesting, smart and witty, and I loved reading the adventures from her point of view.
However, I was disappointed with the romance aspect of this book, I didn't find the relationship between Connie and Luke to be believable, and I just couldn't get behind Luke as a character as a whole. I didn't find his character very compelling, and I felt the author went further into the development of other smaller characters than Luke, considering he is supposed to be quite an important part of the story line.
Overall though the characters in this book are so lovable and funny it definitely makes the book worth a read.

Loving a lady assasin
I was extremely skeptical when I started watching this show. I did not have a ton of background information on what it was about. I was hooked almost immediately. Both the detective and the assasin are smart asses which also makes the drama very funny. Definately worth a watch.
