A very good first episode with an interesting angle on a standard 'murder or suicide' plot. Blair Underwood makes an exciting and more hands on Robert Ironside. His interactions with suspects reminded me of what Columbo would do if he wanted the suspect to know how smart he really was. Pablo Schreiber is great as the out of control detective Virgil. The obligatory origin episodes kept the rest of the Ironside team from being fleshed out but hopefully the show will be kept on long enough for that to happen. The show is so much different than the original Ironside that I wish it wasn't a remake but was its own show with Underwood not having to co-star with a wheelchair.
