Memorable, crazy movie
Phillipa
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Cheryl
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Look...is this ground breaking...maybe not. Is this worthy of critical acclaim....not sure. What I do know is that I have been thoroughly entertained by this show. I dont know who these pompous "critics" are...but if you had ever been in a court room or talked with a police man....rarely will career ever produce 3 stories that could comprise 1 episode...let alone an entire series.
This is fiction people....get over the believably factor and just enjoy the ride. I have only watched 6 episodes so far and I have been immensely entertained. Action...check...drama...check...tension...check...engaging story...check. I almost didnt watch this simply because I thought after reading the plot that it wouldnt be that interesting...I was wrong. If you have reservations based on the reviews you are reading...take an hour out of your day and watch the first episode. If you dont like it what have you lost?And for the people that are trying to be the next Ebert...get a life.

It was riveting for the first seven episodes, potentially one of the most captivating detective series ever.
But then the plot completely collapsed, I struggled to stay awake while watching the last three episodes.
It felt like the producers themselves got so fed up with the story that they felt a compulsory need to bury it.
A more elegant way out would have been to freeze the first series after episode 7, buying some time to devise a more fluid and credible storyline for the finale.
It is very rare for a series to start so bright and end up in such a terrible mess.

We did binge the entire series in a couple days. Parts are riveting but minor continuity glitches are distracting. Also everybody but "dad" speaks in a whisper or Batman growl.
Just needed attention to some details to make it more believable. For instance: If you've been beat and kept in an aquarium for 6 years you still have the strength to climb up the side of a building and run cross country and only eat a candy bar with a swallow of water? Taking a breather and maybe a shower would have helped.
Also the last time I tried my battery powered tape recorder that's been sitting in storage for around six years it needed new batteries.

I know why there are so many haters. they think are movie/TV critics.
so they bash a show & therefore they are better than the show, the writers, actors, etc. most are wanna-Be's, but highly incapable of filling of of the roles (actors, etc).but they have their own issues in life, so I will let them catch up with them.
they will never be happy.im not saying its the greatest show ever, but its far better than most on TV or movies.Its nice to see Katic show that her acting skills out weight her beauty.
