No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.share
He's right though - I felt zero chemistry between the characters - The dialogue was tedious & predictable - The 'beasting out' was awful - And a LOT of details in this particular storyline were not well executed -The sign-in for the make-up room was on paper? not computerized? Her gun holster was on her hip? (should've been under her arm) - A lot 'could have' been done with a remake, but it definitely wasn't done here -I wasn't expecting much, but its' still sorely disappointing
shareIt was a tad better than I was expecting. I think the possibilities are there, but I don't trust them to make this work. Right now, there's nothing else on that I watch, so I'll probably check out a few more episodes. When 'Burn Notice' comes back on though, I'll be watching it instead.

Given the reviews and my natural antipathy towards this, I don't think I'll bother tracking this down (as I'm in the UK).
This year's crop of shows has been pretty poor. Only "Revolution" and "Last Resort" have caught my eye. Of those the 2 eps of the former I've seen have been quite lacklustre and the latter is still awaiting viewing - the premise is interesting, but I can't see how it can sustain more than a miniseries.

I'm watching 'Revolution' for Billy Burke. If he wasn't on the show I wouldn't be watching. JJ Abrams has disappointed me with both 'Alias' & 'Lost.' Both started out really well, but then the last couple of seasons left me wanting. So, I no longer watch a JJ Abrams project if I can help it. This show feels so much like 'Lost.' I expect to be disappointed with it too.
I continue to watch to support Billy Burke. Not sure how many more episodes I'm going to watch though. I haven't seen anything yet to keep me interested enough to care about how the story will turn out, or how it will end. None of the characters have made me care about them either. I hope Billy Burke gets a better show should this one end up canceled. He's a good actor. And singer too:
