i was excited but nervous when my favorite series became a TV show, but i loved every second of it. Angie Harmon, Aubrey Dollar, Paula Newsome and Laura Harris were excellent, the stories were interesting and while it wasn't parallel to the stories in James Patterson's books, it stayed true to the heart of the stories. i was so dissappointed when ABC cancelled it, it could've been so good if it was given a chance to continue to develop. can't wait for the dvds.

This show had everything. Fantastic casting, Angie Harmon anchored a great lineup. The stories were fast paced, interesting and engrossing. The relationship the women had with each other was real. Why oh why did the network cancel this great show? Down the tubes with other great freshmen shows like Moonlight, pushing daisies goes Women's Murder club. Bring it back! Now!

We absolutely loved this show, it really did James Patterson's books justice. It was exceptional in every respect, and we cannot understand why on earth it was cancelled after just a dozen episodes. Utter madness, on a par with the heinous decision to cancel Joss Whedon's Firefly. Please, please give us a DVD at least!

There are two types of people. Book people and TV/Movie people.
Having said that, I am a book person.
Books rarely disappoint, because they require you to use your imagination to provide the pictures and voices. It's not done for you while you stare at a screen constantly being interrupted by commercial breaks, or sit in a dark theater surrounded by people who are more interested in commenting loudly on the goings-on on screen, or busy texting on or answering their cell phones during the movie you just paid 9.00$ for a ticket to watch, when you really should have just waited to rent the DVD.
Well, having been a long-time James Patterson fan (at least of his Alex Cross novels and his Women's Murder Club series), I admit I was a little iffy about the WMC becoming a TV series. I mean, everyone knows what happens when someone tries to make a book into a movie or TV show. We either end up with The Da Vinci Code (the book virtually being read to us on the big screen - with a few small changes), or we end up with something so twisted around and far from the original story that it's nearly unrecognizable. But, I loved the books so much, I decided to be fair and give the TV series a chance.
Women's Murder Club was neither. I know it didn't follow the books EXACTLY, but it was wonderful, just the same. Completely NOT what I expected - soooo much better.
I hate television, because when a new series that sounds so promising comes out, I just have to set my DVR to catch it so that I can check it out, and then I wind up hooked. And just like when a cosmetic line releases a lipstick or nail polish that I fall in love with, it's cut from their line.
It never fails.
This is exactly what happened with WMC. Even though it wasn't 100% true to the books, I fell in love with the series right away, and after only a couple episodes, it was cut right after the writer's strike. I am REALLY hoping that the DVD release will include the un-aired episodes scheduled for viewing before it was yanked from the air.
The networks say they cut series' because of low ratings. That's because they aren't able to count those viewers that DVR the series but can't watch it right then. That's unfair. (Not that it's a significant number of people or anything, but? everyone I know was watching or recording the series. And I'm sure that there were tons of others doing the same.

Women's murder club is about a group of four women who are trying to make it in a man's world. Lindsay Boxer (Angie Harmon) is a homicide detective. She was once married to Tom, who is now in command over her department. She is the main character of the show because she is usually the one chasing the killer(s). When she runs into a problem she calls on the three other women in the club for help. Claire Washburn (Paula Newsome) is a medical examiner. She finds obscure clues that help Lindsay know to look for (there is more emphasis on this in books, though). Jill Bernhardt (Laura Harris) is an assistant district attorney. Lindsay looks for her to bend the rules or to turn a blind eye when the time calls for it. Jill, however, doesn't always play by those rules and will give Lindsay a new direction that is legal. The fourth member of the club is Cindy Thomas (Aubrey Dollar). She is a newspaper reporter. She involved herself in the murder investigation of a collegaue by breaking into both the collegaue's appartment and her desk at work. It was because of this that Lindsay allowed her to join in the investigation and their club.
The series could have been a great one, but caught a bad break during the writer's strike. After it moved days, no one really knew when it was on or even if it was still on. The first season was amazing though.
