    Ms Taraji P. Henson is miscast. Consequently, she is unbelievable in the part.

    hide show

    Ms Henson is not convincing in the part of a detective in NYC or as a former soldier in the Mid-East. Sorry to say it drags the entire show down. The last show was a disaster. She was very unconvincing in her primary role as a cop and a complete failure in portraying a soldier in the field in Afganistan.


    Compared to the two male stars she is extremely weak in portraying a tough and intelligent NYC police woman. Blue Bloods and Prime Suspect are examples of women in similar roles, whom are very credible and add, rather than distract, from the episodes.


    I really like the program and would like it to continue for many years but I fear her weak performances will shorten the program's life cycle.

    She is just a gorgeous woman with a beautiful soul and spirit. She oozes strength, for she is a single mother, and that's one, if not THE hardest job on the face of the planet. She is my inspiration. I LOVE Taraji. hide show

    She is extremely talented, beautiful, and sexy. Everyone will one day LOVE Taraji because she brings so much to her characters and inspires young women like me who want to get into the industry to reach for their dreams. What can I say she's a VIRGO. And like me, virgos get exactly what they set out for. She is a TEN in my book and should be in everyone elses. I LOVE HER and you should too. In fact, I know you will!!!

    Taraji is just the BOMB! hide show

    I would like to say that I think Taraji Henson is a very talented person and needs to be doing more. She is pretty and smart and I think that she should have her own show so we can see more of her. She's my idol and when I start in the acting business I want to her just like her!
