Memphis Beat

I saw the first episode and really enjoyed it. Anyone else watching this show?

I missed the first episode, but I'm hoping that I'll remember to check it out tonight.

The pilot was nice. I saw many reviewers saying Lee is great, but anything else on this show isn't. I... have to agree. Except for his character, everything around him just smells like "another cop show." I loved the opening scene, thought. DJ Qualls is always good (I wish his role was bigger) and Abraham Benrubi as part-Native American(?) looks funny.

I agree that Jason Lee is the best part of the show and I do kind of wish (hope) that DJ Quale's role will grow because he's pretty good in it but for a first episode, I enjoyed it and I'm willing to see where the writers take it.

I think this looks pretty good. I really like Jason Lee so I think I'll enjoy this. I recorded the first episode, but I haven't watched it yet. I'm going to record the second episode, and then watch both later this week or during the weekend.

Just saw the second episode. I really enjoy this episode. Love Jason Lee in this role and the show is just enhanced by all the great supporting actors.

Agreed. This is a great show.

Does anybody know how this show does in the ratings?

I never follow the ratings or reviews all that much but I hope this is doing well.

DJ Qualls will have a bigger part in next week's episode, so hopefully, he'll start getting more screen time. There's good chemistry between the cast, and it's nice seeing Lee as a leading man type.

That's awesome to hear that his role will be bigger. I love him as an actor and I think he does great with the role. Jason Lee as a leading man works really well and I just love this show with each episode I see. TNT does some great shows.

Actually, yeah they do. Between this, Leverage, the upcoming Rizoll & Isles....good stuff.

I am looking forward to Rizoll & Isles.

Same here. The trailers i've seen look good.

I am now all caught up with this show. The third episode was outstanding. I love the character of Dwight Hendricks. He's an awesome cop who loves some great music. It's an amazing show.

Just the "Polk Salad Annie". DJ Qualls is awesome.

I just finished up with the first season of this show and I loved it. Great characters. Great stories and great music. There isn't a show out there that should have a soundtrack more than this show. Whoever does the singing that Jason Lee lip sings to is really good. I am looking forward to the next season.

I've really liked thsi series and I'm glad that it's going to get picked up for another season.
