Saw the ads for a new "mini-series" (8 episodes) called "Killer Women". Decided to check it out, because...
(1) I like crime/cop action/drama TV
(2) I love pretty much anything to do with Texas Rangers
(3) Sofia Vergara is producing it (to me the prettiest woman on TV right now! )
(4) It looked like it stars Tricia Helfer (turns out it does), who played "Number 6" in the Battlestar Galactic reboot (which I enjoyed a lot),
and, perhaps most important - she was sporting a 1911 on her hip in the ads. Gotta be good, huh?
Watched the first episode and enjoyed it. Hope it does well!

May your rifle always shoot straight, your mag never run dry, you always have one more round than you have adversaries, and your good mate always be there to watch your back.
Because I can!

I liked Tricia Helfer in her guest star role in Burn Notice. Too bad that they never used a levergun in that show.

"Killer Women?" Geeze, I married into a family of full blooded Italian farm girls......6 girls and 2 boys in that family. The 2 boys are known for being nobody to mess with, being built like 55 gallon oil drums and all muscle.
It's the girls most people around here are afraid of. -------6

I watched the first (and last for me) episode from iTunes. It appears to me to be an affirmative action poor version of Walker Texas Ranger. In general a weak story line where you are led to believe she has some fantastic "intuition" that lets her figure out what is going on while neanderthal men remain clueless. As for the action, the gun work is poor at best and the "tactical" scenes look like a bunch of mall ninjas and video gamers. I want my hour back.

I'm with you. I saw only about 30 minutes of it though so I lost less of my life to it.
What kinda dork names herself Sofia Viagra as a screen name?
OMG that was funny!!!

Yes, she is the visual equivalent of Viagra for any red-blooded American male!
I was trying to think of a Kosher way to say that. If fact, when we were watching the other night I mentioned to the wife what nice, big....TEETH she had

Because of this thread, I watched the show last night out in the shop.
I have to say it was the lamest show I've ever seen. Her modeling career was fully on display with respect to hats and holsters, but the acting was abysmal and the story line even worse.
A shame - with a real script, better acting and a bit of real wear, sweat and curl on the too perfect hat and they might have something. As it is, nothing.

ie if they reinvented it from the ground up, it might fly. Maybe.
Charlie's Angels taught us that stuffing a show with pretty women doesn't make it a great crime drama.
I hardly watch tv cops shows. Barnaby Jones solved all his cases in 45 minutes. He didn't have internet, cell phone, computer, or a semi-auto tupperware pistol. (the pilot episode looked like a snub-nosed .38 exhibit)

Since the two woment they promoted to Ranger status flopped, it was almost a forgone conclusion the show would too... Since "Person of Interest" is a repeat tonite... I guess I catch it on the left coast feed... I love DirecTV and their motor home plan...

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
Nice hat indeed, and a plus one +1, on the nice leather.
When I worked at the DPS HQ in Austin many years ago, I saw and met some Texas Rangers and the nice leather is the only thing this show has in common with the real thing.
I watched part of it last night when she entered a house with her pretty 1911 drawn , but the hammer was not cocked - maybe a club or a ray gun?
