The Mysteries of Laura (serial)

Debra Messing plays a NY homicide detective who is clearly one of the best in the business. She seems to have a sense for where the case needs to go, and then pursues the killers with commitment. At the same time, she is down to earth, struggles with her ex-husband, raises twin boys and is always eating. Somehow this "regular girl" portrayal is buyable and endearing. Equal parts police procedural and pleasant comedy with the right balance throughout, this was a nice diversion.
4 stars
