Another edge-of-your-seat thriller.

As exciting as the original.

This engrossing and unnerving nail-biter is a rare treat: a thriller with a brain and a soul.

While not perfect, [it] manages to be both exciting and--if not exactly realistic--then at least reality-grounded.

Fehr's performance is worth noting, if only because his cool demeanor is frighteningly at odds with the insane rhetoric pouring out of his mouth. His portrayal may be the show's greatest point of interest -- that is, if you aren't annoyed by Shields, or hypnotized into a slumber by Ealy's never-ending "haunted past" routine.

A dreary thing it is, and depressing, too.
