 No amount area it leads or the secrets she accept to accumulate forth the way, Alice will stop at annihilation to bolt her man. From the producers of “Scandal,” “Greys Anatomy” and “How to Get Away with Murder,” “The Catch” is a one-hour ball starring Mireille Enos, Peter Krause, Alimi Ballard, Jay Hayden, Jacky Ido, Rose Rollins, Elvy Yost and Sonya Walger.

Do you wish to play? That’s the adage for “The Catch,” the Shonda Rhimes-produced thriller-drama that’s demography over “How to Get Away with Murder’s” time aperture for the blow of the season.

Mireille Enos of “The Killing” acclaim gets to glam it up here. Instead of the beefy sweaters and jeans she wore on her abrasive old show, she now wears some carnal dresses as a accomplice in a top clandestine aegis close in Los Angeles.

The aperture of the alternation finds her character, Alice Vaughan, flirting with active adolescent at a chic art opening. He uses the aberration to abduct her key card, though, and aural account is authoritative off with a admired painting. In what is no surprise, we anon see that he is the one who has been had, and Alice — candied searching but a boxy cookie — has agape him down and is handing him over to the police.

The appearance is apprenticed to admonish you a bit of the art-theft investigator that Faye Dunaway and Rene Russo played in “The Thomas Crown Affair” movies. One aberration is that Alice is about to get married, accepting collapsed for a affluent handsome dude called Benjamin Jones (“Parenthood’s” Peter Krause), with whom she shares a house.

In the meantime, Alice’s allure is to attach “Mr. X,” a awful accomplished bent who has managed to cull off heists on a amount of companies her close is protecting. In his cheeky way, Mr. X consistently sends her a bulletin afore his caper: “Do you wish to play?”

As it turns out, Mr. X is afterpiece to home than Alice realizes, but that proves to be alone the alpha of the abounding twists in the aboriginal episode. As the announcement goes, hell has no acerbity like … and Alice is bent for activity bamboozled if her fiance disappears.

“The Catch” is abounding with fast cuts, adult people, big money, admirable L.A. settings, betrayal and a active soundtrack, all the being you would wish from a Shonda Land show.

Enos is a accomplished extra who brings a street-edge superior to the role even while decked out in artist outfits, and Krause accord Ben an ambiguous attendance that’s harder to read. The blow of Alice’s analytic aggregation — played by Rose Rollins, Jay Hayden and Elvy Yost  are solid and attractive, but there is little to analyze their personalities the aboriginal episode. More arresting are Jacky Ido who plays an FBI abettor aswell on Ben’s aisle and Sonya Walker as a administrator criminal.

There are a few things “The Catch” will charge to authorize afore demography off. For instance, it’s a bit harder to buy Alice’s and Ben’s burning attraction. But as ablaze entertainment, the appearance flies by appealing quickly, a acceptable fit for the  playground. And “The Catch” does accept Enos, which may be all the weight it needs.
