Not a show for viewers who need explosions and special effects to satisfy their attention spans. If you absorb yourself in this tense, edge of your seat dialogue you will be rewarded by the one of the most gripping, best written and acted (across the board) shows this season,

Interesting premise, but the show seems more focused on teasing a climax that never actually happens than the follow through. The set-up is good enough to keep the viewer intrigued but there isn't much of anything in terms of original, interesting, well-executed content in the last couple episodes. The final episode tries to recover with a meaningful finish, but the finish is built on a faulty foundation. The relationship that this show wants you to focus on, that's meant to make all the show's shortcomings worth it, was weak and generic as were its characters. Many of its parts are strong and well executed by the sum of its parts is awkward, incomplete, and ultimately not worth the investment (albeit only 30 minutes per episode). The show needs the viewer to be invested in the main characters and their relationships, but neither are all that strong. For anyone who connected to the characters and found the central relationship genuinely unique, this show might make sense and be worthwhile. But for anyone who doesn't "get it", the only thing that makes this show passable is that it's not a movie. Because if it were a movie, it would quite frankly be pretty bad -- an intriguing start with some good acting ends poorly and abruptly, highlighted by a couple of the lead characters being highly one-dimensional.

Interesting plot but it runs at a slow pace and pretty boring development of the overall story line. Julia Roberts is the best thing about this show, the rest is pretty forgettable.

The others reviews of a sloooow show are spot-on and I did not listen to them to my own detriment. I never knew 30-minutes could feel so long. The "mystery" in the show is puddle deep, but is dragged on and on and on. There is decent acting, but the people they portray don't act like real humans. If this was a 2hr movie, it would still have thin plot and not much else going for it. If you want entertainment or a thinker, look elsewhere.

Honestly, the only reason I finished this dreary, boring, death march of a program was because I adore Julia Roberts. There is no other excuse for wasting that much of my life on a show so snail paced and ultimately unsatisfying. If you are not someone who has to watch everything Ms. Roberts is in, avoid this like the plague. Predictably, critics love it. It seems these days that any film or TV show that offers even a glimmer of entertainment value is shunned by the critical community while stuff like this is showered with praise. Don't believe the hype. And contrary to what a couple of reviews have inferred here, while I truly disliked this empty void of a series, I am a grown-up with an appreciation for Film/TV (or at least my Masters degree in these disciplines suggests it) and I work in the industry. So, it's not that I'm some ignorant plebeian incapable of appreciating "great art" as these seeming elitist prats would have you believe. It's just that the show really is not good.
