On one side is one of the safest cities in the world, while just to the south lies one of the deadliest. In El Paso, Detective Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) is a no-nonsense-to-a-fault cop who has zero tolerance for anything that distracts her from solving the case. It’s not […]

July 3, 2013 Tom Comi

Heather Locklear and Franklin & Bash are a perfect fit on TNT, but that shouldn’t surprise anybody who saw her resurrect a struggling Melrose Place in the ’90s.

Unfortunately, there was still something missing, and it turned out that something was Locklear. The main problem with the premise of Franklin & Bash is that you really have to suspend belief to accept that any firm […]
