| Description: | The creator's reputation can play a part but, in the end, if you don't like the characters you're watching, what's in a producer's name? Given that "Conviction," "Law & Order" maestro Dick Wolf's new "character-cedural" (a lame term he concocted to avoid calling an average drama by its true name), premieres tonight at 10 on KING/5, you may think I'm referring to his rep, or measuring the appeal of the young Turks in New York City's DA's office. To know these names is to expect great things; each man has his signature style of directing, although Mamet's rep dwarfs Ryan's, even though the latter created "The Shield." "The Unit's" Special Forces operative Jonas Blane is a smooth transition for the actor. A promising cast and respected executive producers conspire to give "The Unit" a shot at being this spring's breakout hit. [...] the real proof's in the pilot, a thrilling balance between the action of this sharpshooting brotherhood and the schemes of their secretive, slightly overbearing wives. Take this show's lead-in, the recently relocated "Las Vegas," which is about nothing but mistakes and sex appeal. [...] to the somewhat orderly legal headquarters in "Law & Order," this ADA's office is chaotic, and the assignments are grim, particularly one involving a powerful drug dealer. |
