Featured review
I would have given it 10/10 if it was just the first season.
The first season is compelling, excellent storyline that opens your eyes, excellent acting and overall a very engaging show that pulls you in almost from the start. Yes it has its soapy moments in the first season but those are forgiven for the overall original feel to this show. The character development is also extremely good in the first season.
But for whatever reason, instead of ending the show after the second episode of the second season and wrapping it up then, the producers decided they wanted to keep making money off this, and just turned the show into a CSI extension. It's like Watching two completely different shows under the same name.
I hate it when shows do this, it ruins the entire thing. All the character development from the first season has disappeared, and the story has just turned into your average American soap drama.
What a shame.
