This show is clearly a high value production, but in my opinion the cast is lightweight when compared to shows such as Homeland, The Americans and I just can't get past WHY the lead actor Keri Russell is channeling Tom Cruise so clearly, in every single scene and with every single line, and hand gestures she delivers. Its totally off-putting for me. I can't get past Rufus Swell NOT being Obergruppenfuhrer John Smith from The Man in the High Castle, so this character seems wishy washy, as do the script and tenuous back stories. I think this show promises so much, but ultimately falls short when compared to recent shows with a similar premise.
