Sadly I had high hopes for this show, the actors are top tier, and the premise could be very interesting, with great range and depth. The first episode was crammed with slick dialogue, some of it cringe worthy, that seems to be completely absent in the second episode. We’re introduced to the characters, premise, core mystery, and the episode mystery at a rapid fire pace. Yet at this pace the show’s first episode still achieved coma inducing blandness that continued into the second episode (without the slick banter)… The mystery in the second episode basically solved itself, and though there was some distinguishing tension between the baddies and our hero, again the actors are top tier, the second episode hardly stepped out of the “just more prime time fodder” category. As some other comments have, comparing this to Prime’s Reacher I think this show has a promise of real depth that the animatronic, overly amplified bullying hubris of the main character in Reacher will never achieve. I hope the producers and writers watched the end product as it aired, they have work to do if they want the stellar show this could be with a chance at a second season…

Well I had to say something, this show insulted my intelligence… If you don’t want to sound like a quack the fundamental first step is “not to sound like a quack”. Offer evidence of a mystery, and perhaps compelling evidence of a mystery, that’s what science is all about… nothings conclusive, science continues, but don’t blatantly insult the true academia that actually follow standards of study simply because they easily find fault with your ideas. A lot of the show was interesting and entertaining, and maybe a compelling mystery to some degree, but hardly an argument and why such personally impassioned unwarranted argument… Our world has to come to the conclusion that thinly veiled hate is not entertainment, shame on Netflix.
