I enjoyed this show because it is lighthearted, glossy and colorful! I watch plenty of darker shows, so this is refreshing with it's retro whodunit treatments. It reminds me of the show Glades, which may have been a little more or less cheesy, but it's very watchable, IMO! After watching Gotham, Quantico, Scandal, HTGWM, and shows on Netflix and Hulu like Tyrant, Ray Donovan, Justified, Hand of God (Amazon), and so many others, I can greatly indulge this show! I love Morris Chestnut, he did a great job on Nurse Jackie and the detective Villa plays nicely with his Rosewood (Rosie) character. The plot is by numbers, and the premise somewhat incredulous if you're seeking true crime reality-like TV. But, since this show is so bright and corny, I hope viewers continue to tune in because there's no shortage of dark TV or grisly shows or decent comedies. We're in another golden age of television, and the choices are awesome! I say this after cutting my cable cord, and have now watched more interesting and enjoyable television than I ever did when I paid for monster cable. Rosewood may not be for everyone, but it's definitely for those who want some silliness and escapism like myself (scenic views, the ocean, beaches, palm trees)!

It is a great show in my opinion. It can be predictable at times and also cheesy, but with all the shows that are available to watch it keeps my attention enough to watch it somewhat consistently. I'm a streamer and it's one of my top 10 shows to watch. You have to get fairly into it to get past a lot of what people are complaining about.

Seems like every time I get suckered into binge watching a show on Netflix I find out it has been canceled and now and I want to cry. This is such a cute show. I'm so disappointed. Wish they would give us a happy ending when they do this to us. It reminds me of Bones. Watch it and I promise you won't regret it.

I honestly don't understand the low rating it has i just watched both seasons in a span of three days and couldn't stop watching. Plus the cliffhanger at the end of season two just leaves you wanting more.The actors and actresses are excellent. Especially the two the show is centered around. I think the people who gave it a bad rating wouldn't know a good show if it snuck up and bit them on the butt.

Don't read all the negative reviews. Rosewood is amazing and I never miss a episode. Just finished season 2 and WOW. I'm more hooked than I was in season 1. Morris Chestnut is amazing in his role as Dr Beaumont Rosewood. The entire cast is superb and I absolutely cannot wait til the show is back on. Rosewood al the way.

Nice story, a little bit of cliche from time to time but not too much. Actually, it reminds me of Lucifer with a big difference - Lucifer is revived, Rosewood stays cancelled with a pretty huge cliffhanger. Anyways, it's worth watching even though it got cancelled after season 2. I wish it weren't.

This show is excellent. I am sick and tired of so called reality shows wasting our time. I have enough of my reality show called life - I want to relax in front of a fantasy story where good beats evil and every bad person gets punished. Do not let these "reality shows" followers dictate what to watch in TV. I think the story is fresh and is a mix of Miami Vice, Body of Proof or Forever - which I loved also. Give the show a chance. The actors are really good and credible. The writers really wrote a good play. If you like mystery movies this show is for you. There are medical info, good fights, interesting dilemmas.I like a certain genre and is hard to find it. I am happy to watch this show every week.

This series didn't last long and I'm not very sorry about it. It wasn't badly done but I found the protagonist annoying and arrogant despite the writers trying to make him look as friendly as possible.

I personally don't understand the negative reviews on this show. It can't be the acting - this is first rate, the actors are well versed in their parts and work together in a believable way. The scenery is Miami in all it's glory and filth. They don't just show the "pretty side", it is warts and all. The medical facts hold up, when you cross reference them to medical texts and facts on-line, things are not sugar coated to make it easier for the viewers to understand. Dr. Rosewood does that for you with a bedside manner I wish more doctors had today. I hope this show is not canceled, it shows both African Americans and Latinos in a truly positive light. It is showing that everyone can attain the goals they strive for, it may not be easy - but you can get there

Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr. (Morris Chestnut) runs a Miami private pathology practice working with his sister Pippy and her girlfriend Tara Milly Izikoff. Mitchie Mendelson later joins his team. His mother Donna Rosewood is also a respect doctor and always concerned about his heart defect. Det. Annalise Villa is a new transfer from NYPD with a complicated personal life. Capt. Ira Hornstock is her supervisor until the second season when Capt. Ryan Slade takes over. Rosewood is taken with Villa and works with her in her cases.

This is a standard network police procedural. It is second tier stuff and got canceled after two seasons. I actually didn't like Chestnut and his cocky character at first. It took a couple of episodes to get a feel for his character who is burying his damaged sadness. Rosewood and Villa's chemistry is bumpy at times but is always inevitable. They're too good looking to not get together. This sunshine procedural works for the most part and the cast is good enough.

Rosewood is one of those saccharine series the US, in particular, does so well.

Its washed clean of any real depth of characterization. Instead, what you're presented with are bleached, politically correct, caricatures.

The main character Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr., a private pathologist is a pretty near perfect. He's smart, handsome and has very little in the way of the normal flaws, you would expect to find in a real human being. He's annoying upbeat and never phased. His only vice seems to be driving his bright yellow muscle car too fast.

For me this series looks a lot like the kind of aggravating nonsense politicians churn out around election time. You know the stuff, chirpy, irritatingly optimistic human stereotypes who love their mundane jobs and for some inexplicable reason get all excited about sleazy mainstream politics.

My advice, give Rosewood a pass. The acting is reasonable but its so constrained by the generally sugary tone of this series it really makes little impact. Two out of ten from me.

The show is a GREAT show and the level of the story lines are very good and actually getting better. The overall content and dynamic are exceptional. Dr.Rosewood(M.Chestnut)would be an even better character if there are more episodes that would involve more background for other characters(Mitchie,Annalise,Etc.)would be great as well. The main thing that keeps dropping the ratings are the time slots. If you change them there will be a lot better ratings, as when it was paired with Empire. Please don't cancel the show, it's my favorite show on TV.

Frankly, don't waste your time. Why didn't they just set the show in LA? Miami and LA look nothing alike. I know that it's cheaper, etc., but it's very difficult to get involved in a show that is blatantly not where it implies (on location). "Miami Vice" set the stage for authentic dramas of this sort, set in Southern Florida. "Bloodline" on Netflix does some great location filming in Islamorada.

I enjoy the show. It's not the best on TV, but it's certainly not the worst.

The acting is good from everyone. The story lines are even interesting and the characters have some depth. I believe that the writers may lack the real world knowledge of African-American and Hispanic cultures Some story lines are lacking in imagination. But the premise of the show is fresh and new and I like that.

All in all its a good hour of entertainment.

Rosewood is one of the best series on television right now. I hope it is on for several years like other great series have been. But, please don't make Rosie and Annalise a couple. The energy is fantastic. I think making Brennan and Booth a couple on Bones kind of took a little of the intrigue away. Anyway, this show makes Friday night television worth watching. Looking forward to the future.

. . . until they introduced the nerd with the blue van. Just stop there and don't go back, it's painful!

I absolutely love this show. I just watched it on Netflix. My husband added it to the Que for me but as I was watching it I noticed he had gotten into it and I saw him smile and laugh quite a few times. It is a decent show which deals with family issues, is a little bit medical, little bit science, has a lot of witty banter. It's a good show overall. I do hope it continues.

Well that is 45 minutes of my life I wish I had back. I don't believe the writers missed one cop show cliché. The story line was shallow and predictable. This show came off as a marriage between a seventies disco documentary and a twenty first century forensic science field trip. Morris Chestnut played the stereotypical lead role well, unfortunately there was no way to develop the character that did not come off as banal and trite. Jaina Lee Ortiz was totally unbelievable as the "tough cop with a chip on her shoulder" kicking bad guy butts all over the place. The "lively banter" between the characters was sophomoric at best. Fox has some great shows in their line-up this season, unfortunately Rosewood is not one.

I love this show. Please, please don't cancel it so soon! It's so hard to find something worth watching. I love the characters. They go so well together. They make such a great team. I would like to see them get together and be together for a while before Fox even thinks about canceling it.

I like Morris Chesnut, but this show will most likely last one season, or be pulled after several episodes. First and foremost, it is not believable. A handsome single forensics Dr. and a beautiful single detective, both in Miami most likely does not exist in the real world. There is too many scenes that are playful. The gay couple is getting played out, not to mention a gay couple that is interracial; I guess producers wanted to cover all bases. It would have been more productive to have Morris play the detective, a muscular forensics Dr., walking around diagnosing marks on people and figuring out missing pieces to an investigation by looking at someone pour a drink, is not complementing his physique; he needs more action. Jessica Ortiz would have been better suited to play the forensics Dr.; I am not trying to be sexist, the storyline has to be believable, that's what makes it painful to watch.

Ok at first I could not get in to Rosewood, this show definitely got better with time like a fine wine. When the actors got comfortable with their characters that's when this show got interesting. Morris Chestnut is a great actor and I'm happy to watch whatever he is in and I really enjoyed Jaina Ortiz I think that's how you spell her name, she definitely proved that she can carry a series. I think if you are looking for a great entertaining Show Rosewood is definitely the show to watch. I'm a little bummed that they haven't given the show a dvd.
