Uh oh, I might have spoken too soon. My prior review was full of accolades for this new series. Was I doing wishful thinking? Was the pilot all there is?
The second segment of the series was flat. No plot movement. Nothing new. This could portend a stagnant show.
We already know the poor prisoner of war was traumatized. Need we see gratuitous torture scenes over and over again?
We know so little about the main characters. Why aren't we getting more "inside" them? We need to learn more about these folks!
Clare Danes, pictured above: A bit cloying, annoying as a lead character. Is it her voice? Her mannerisms? She sort of grates on the viewer's nerves.
Overall? Still somewhat entertaining. But let's hope the series picks up and grabs us.
