Featured review
Worth seeing, but not as good as it could have been
I'll start by saying that I definitely enjoyed the first episode. The two hours pretty much flew by. I highly recommend this to anyone.
However, there are a few glaring flaws:
With two exceptions, virtually all the main characters are young and beautiful. , they are all supposed to be highly seasoned veterans in extremely high
positions within their respective agencies, Yeah, right.
At least most of them are terrific actors. The one GLARING exception is Julianna Margulies. She was fine in her TV role as a nurse, and I liked her a lot in "Elysian fields." However, she is PAINFULLY miscast in this series. She's so non-believable (not to mention wooden) that everytime she was on-screen I got jolted out of the action with a blaring
reminder that I was watching a tv series. Awful. Maybe she's battling a drug addiction or alcohol, who knows....
OK, but other than the above, the premier episode was terrific. Excellent
cinematography, excellent screenplay, editing, etc. Also, as others have said, the "bad guys" aren't presented as one-dimensional. Rather, both sides of the conflict are presented with equal respect, and that's really something. There's a lot in this series to make you think.
HIGHLY recommended.
