Vegas S01E01 (CBS, 2012)

I have fond memories of Michael Mann's Crime Story.  I have images of death and mayhem seared into my brain from Nicholas Pileggi's work.  Vegas' leads were neither here nor there for me - much as I enjoyed Michael Chiklis in The Shield, and Dennis Quaid in Inner Space, Enemy Mine, Traffic.

Sooo why did I try this show?  I missed Longmire, I guess.

Having name-checked Crime Story, Goodfellas, The Shield, and Traffic, how does Vegas fare?  Not exactly riveting television.  Nothing here that either Longmire or Justified isn't already doing damn well. 

Okay.  Not awful.  Kinda interesting.


But I think I'll give it another ep.
