The feel good tag fits. I don’t care that this was reviewed poorly. It scores highly in the audience of my home theater.

Yes sounds like a modern Remington Steele remake (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I looked at some trailers for Remington Steele and I get the comparison. The Associate has less (actually none?) romance. More drag queens. And Diane wiest! And Bebe Neuwirth! And Tim Daly who’ve I’ve had a crush on since my first episode of wings!
I do want to watch Remington Steele now though

This is the correct response, and would be even if one was never a young girl watching the show with her mother and having her romantic tastes profoundly influenced for all time...er....never mind.
