- Synopsis
- Emmy Award-winning executive producer-writer Graham Yost ("Band of Brothers," "From the Earth to the Moon") and star Jeff Goldblum, combine forces in "Raines," an inventive police drama that blends traditional noir storytelling with humor and intrigue.
Eccentric LAPD Detective Michael Raines (Goldblum) uses his unique imagination to focus on every murder case in such a way that the murder victims actually begin to take shape in front of him. At first, he thinks he's losing his mind, but he then uses the constantly evolving hallucinations -- which are figments of his imagination and not ghosts -- to help him discover the victims' killers. Raines struggles to accept this peculiar gift -- or burden -- and reconcile it with his daily life. Also prominent in Raines' life are his understanding boss, Captain Daniel Lewis (Matt Craven); an antagonistic uniformed officer, Remi Boyer (Dov Davidoff); Boyer's long-suffering partner, Officer Michelle Lance (Linda Park); sharp-tongued civilian employee, Carolyn Crumley (Nicole Sullivan); his former partner, Charlie Lincoln (Malik Yoba); and therapist, Samantha Kohl (Madeleine Stowe).

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's even more surprising that [Jeff] Goldblum's thoughtful, enjoyable presence is -- rather than the one saving grace of an otherwise tiresome procedural -- the centerpiece of a generally well-crafted drama."
-
"Intriguing and involving, if sometimes odd for oddness' sake alone, Raines is a novel twist on one of TV's oldest formats: the single, super-intuitive detective."
-
"'Raines' not only deserves an audience - with any luck at all, it deserves a renewal, and a firm spot on NBC's fall schedule."
