They try to be smart, edgy, and interesting, but poor writing leads to weak roles and performances. The music and soundtrack are not good. There was just enough good content to hold my interest and keep me watching, but it falls far short of being as great as it easily could have been. Equal amounts of excitement and disappointment. On balance it comes out about average. Worthwhile but not particularly good.

I loved the idea for this show, and it led to plenty of thrilling moments. Sometimes not everything the show did work, but overall I liked the idea and would have liked to see more. Unfortunately, it seems with how late the show's premiere was delayed, the network almost certainly already knew they weren't renewing it before it even started airing.

just watch Person of Interest instead
