This second rate attempt to duplicate the wildly successful formula of Castle is, in a word, awful. While Jason Priestly's portrayal occasionally presents us with a sympathetic character, most of the time he comes off as over-rehearsed. Cindy Sampson must think she is in some lousy sitcom; over-the-top sassy girl completely out of her depth. Granted, her lines are terrible, but her delivery is worse. The writers and directors are, apparently going for the sexual-tension- between-buddies theme that has worked in some dramedies, but the dialogue is stilted and unbelievable. Rather than generating suspense or tension, the investigational situations are simply tedious. Instead of subtle insertions into the plot, the clichés are thrown in the viewers face as if to say, "Here you go, morons. Watch this crap!" Give this one a pass, unless there is absolutely NOTHING else to do.

These two gotta be the worst private eyes in the history. If you take moonlighting & Remington Steele,minus the good script writing, on-screen chemistry.Add some bad actors,bad script writing,and really poor on-screen chemistry. Than you got private eyes

I guess they hoping this will takeover for castle.But the on-screen chemistry just isn't there.

I find it a bit unbelievable, that a private eye that don't know her way around, her own town.She lives here for Christ sake.So she'll need Priestly's character to help her navigate around.For being the bulky guy,he seem to have drawn the shortest straw,and gotten the role of the softy guy here,she is the tough one. I also get the impression they've thrown in the blind daughter in hope of making Priestley's character more sympathetic

The producer's need to make up their mind. Either have a strong women lead,or have a clueless helpless women.You can't have both in one person, and you can't switch back and forth.

Girls will probably find this a lot more interesting,cause of Jason priestly. But for me it was just very run of the mill, dull,Private Eye show. The comedic part = The friendly bantering back and forth isn't funny,and not working. They seem more like a siblings than two private eyes The sad part is none of the actors seem to like being there.They all have this look on their face, that says get me out of here.

But all in all you've seen it before.They fumble they stumble,they argue,they bicker,they fight. But in the end they get the job done,and solve the case before the police

I have never seen a private investigative show that even comes close to a real PI. I have been a private investigator for 23 years and it is such a laugh when I see television trying to produce a show about a real PI. I'm often asked if I am like Magnum PI or Veronica Mars and my answer is always the same - No, I am a real PI who deals with real murders, real kidnapping, real threats towards my life and so much more. It's too bad television can't even come close to protarying a real life PI.

Unoriginal, unrealistic writing, low budget, subsidized rubbish. Just remove any and all existence of this show ever existing. The writers for this show should strongly reconsider their career ambitions as I believe they excel at recycling old garbage versus any type of new and original ideas. Have shame!

Private Elves has to be the worst show currently on TV! It's a show where tiny people with no law enforcement knowledge go around threatening large criminals. They stumble around finding "clues" in a way that would embarrass the Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew. Give your self a treat and skip this one!

This show has to be one of the most boring and ill written and ill acted shows ever. Priestly cannot act at all, and the female costar isn't much better. Her real personality comes out in this show which is not a good thing. Everybody in this show is so irritating and have no talent what-so-ever. ION do you and everyone else a favor drop this piece of crap show.

What is it these days with putting a big head and a woman to be an unlikely dynamic duo. What is it these days to put a man who looks like a a tramp unshaven and dirty. Is this what TV series have sunk to? No, not for me thank you. There are many cop shows far better than this even if many of them are donkeys years old, I would still rather watch them.
