Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

ridiculous rating

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Loved the storyline, but 10 episodes seemed not enough. At some times it seemed rushed to put everything in there to make story work. Longer and more episodes would have given the opportunity for a deeper emotional story.... It got stuck to much at the surface. Jason Isaacs is capable of so much more, why not show it. Loved Anne Heche too. And the rest of the cast....there could have been more depth, even though the dig was very deep.

I am having trouble remembering when I wanted so badly to love a new series.First the star, Jason Issacs, is one of the most under-utilized action heroes in the biz. I saw him a few years ago in a mini-series about politics in Boston and he was brilliant. He held the series together like glue. He has the kind of face that you instantly trust and he has the looks of a guys who gets things done.And seeing Kring's name on the creator credit was also a plus. I am one of those fans of Heroes who still doesn't quite get why a show that was mesmerizing in its first year suddenly lost an entire audience? I still watch old episodes of Heroes even today, they are that good. ("Save the cheerleader, save the world" should be right up there with "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.") So, apologies made, this is not a series I can get my teeth into.In my view it is primarily intended for viewers who love a good crossword puzzle or jigsaw puzzle or any kind of puzzle, because that's all you get from week to week. Puzzle pieces and clues.In script talk, the long arc essentially dominates the short arc and the short arc exists only as a excuse to extend the long arc.There are people who love puzzles that have no answers. I am not one of them.But you might be.

In reading 20 reviews (prior to this one), more than half were positive and the overall IMDb rating was 7 stars out of 10. So WHY is the review that appears on the IMDb main page for this series a 2 stars rating??? But, getting beyond that obvious miscue, there is a blogging message board that has some negative (and to be honest, intellectually sloppy) comments that choose to focus primarily on the season finale. Now for fairness: the series does start out slow, but it is methodical and for those viewers who appreciate intelligent plot and character development over quick and slick carnival ride types of entertainment, then you're willing to keep tuning in and you will soon be hooked on the quality of this show. If you are easily confused and, even more, too easily frustrated by easy confusion, this is not the series for you. Otherwise, it is worth watching from start to finish, and the best way to watch the finale is to watch it back-to-back with the previous episode, as it was made as a two-parter, and if possible what is even better, watch the final 3 episodes back-to-back (O.K., take a brief potty and snack break!). Everything climaxes and comes to a comprehensible conclusion.

For nine episodes, this show built momentum towards some sort of conclusion. Then came episode ten. I'm not sure if this was a supposed to be a ten episode mini series or what, but the last episode seemed to be cobbled together real quickly with little sense of coherency. The big reveal was that the red headed girl was trying to avenge her nutty father, an archaeologist marginalized years before by the archaeologist with whom the red headed is sleeping. The only interesting character, the Israeli cop, was killed in the previous episode by the red headed girl. Awful ending. The whole conspiracy thing thing just fizzled out, as if the writers got bored with their jobs. I hope this series gets canceled for being stupid.
