The show had tons of good reviews & since I like espionage thriller type shows thought I check it out, but boy, was it a disappointment. The writing, directing, & much of the acting ranged from mediocre to downright terrible. The two leads were likable enough but they weren't given much to work with. It was cliched, had lots of plot holes, & so many of the story & staging details were just improbable, incorrect, & nonsensical. It was like an awful cut-rate version of '24' (watch that series if you really want to see how it should be done). And can't believe they actually named the lead character Sutherland, which of course is the last name of the actor who played the lead in '24' - Kiefer Sutherland. Embarrassing.
