In an attempt to take revenge from her fiancé, who has made fraud in her and cons her in millions and flees, Alice Vaughan, a young attractive and ambitious private investigator, who makes her mind and struggles against finding him, in order to take back her money and sue him to save others.
As light entertainment, the show flies by pretty quickly, a good fit for the #TGIT playground. And The Catch does have Enos, which may be all the weight it needs.
ABC's The Catch, fresh off the Shonda Rhimes assembly line, doesn't steal that marvelous line from the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, but it nicks everything else. And that's not a complaint.
The Catch contains all the ingredients we've come to expect from the folks at Shondaland: glossy production values, a diverse cast, hyper-articulate dialogue, hairpin plot twists and lots of eye candy and writhing hips.
While the supporting cast seems more than competent, this is a show that comes down to the way Enos and Krause, two longtime TV veterans, play off each other. They have strong chemistry together but are also careful to carve out characters of their own.
Even with a great initial hook and an incredibly polished pilot, The Catch will need to evolve if it wants to last as long as some of its predecessors.
