    I LOVED The First Two Seasons

    But the third season is horribly terrible or terribly horrible take your pick.. First off, the story was boring and it didn't hold my interest and it seemed forced.. Secondly, I think the actors who played Jamie and Nick were terrible choices because I just didn't care about the characters they played like I did in the first two seasons because they were so much easier to connect with which made me care about what they were going through.. I've read that there's going to be a fourth season and even though I didn't care much for season three I will watch it because Bill Pullman is fantastic as det. Harry Ambrose..

    Disturbing first season

    Couple of things: Jessica Biel never ages. Pullman can pull off weird disturbed detective well. This is a series that will keep you guessing till the end- very unusual, very dark and very disturbed. You won't feel good about yourself at the end in the nicest possible way. Very addictive and I loved the soundtrack too! Check it out.

    Outstanding

    I don't do many reviews on here. Usually only if something is extraordinary or horrible. This show had me on the edge of my seat the whole season from start to finish! Jessica biel has always been a good actress, but her performance in this blew me away! Hope she does more dramas like this in the future.. she's a natural.

    Nicely twisted Mystery show

    An interesting original crime mystery in which Jessica Biel gets the chance to show her acting weapons. The story in intriguing from the beginning. A woman spends a family breakout at a lake and out of nowhere stabs a guy in public... The case seems clear but a police detective thinks there is more behind it. Biel is very good in the leading role but in my opinion it was Bill Pullman who stole the show. Although I question some attributes about his character, the way it was written etc, he really was able to bring a lot of personalty and sympathy to it. A great and underrated performance. Another wonderful turn of the show was done by Nadia Alexander who shall have a great future. She reminds me on a young Amy Adams. Wonderful performance. The rest of the cast is solid as well, there is actually not one bad performance. Some characters are either stereotype or weirdly written, but in the end it works for most of the part. The film had some really good twists. Actually half way through it, almost each episode has a twist. And I liked how the first episodes actually created some false traps and leads which they made the audience believe .. sometimes quite subtle. A good show for audiences that enjoy a good crime/mystery story.

    Season 3: Don't fall into the Plot Holes

    The major flaw in season 3 is that there's no compelling reason for Jamie to feel any of his existential angst other than his own solipsism. It's not a convincing argument, emphasized by the fact that most of the characters don't behave the way people normally would when faced with these situations; which is also unexplained. Everyone is both drawn to and repulsed by Jamie, but he's really not worthy of either emotion.

    • Trivia
      Originally developed as a one-season 'limited TV series', however, USA Network was so pleased with the ratings, they wanted the writers/producers to develop a season 2. Although still considered a 'limited series', it has morphed into an 'anthology series'. Bill Pullman's detective character from season 1 returns, along with a new mystery to solve, and primarily new cast. Jessica Biel is an executive producer.
