It's a good show honestly and has a lot of interesting moments in it. I think that the weak part to the show is honestly the cases each week. They can be so boring and not entertaining or interesting at all. They aren't fun to watch and I feel like if they improved, then it would be much better.
Now, the characters are why I watch this show because they each have a backstory that intrigues me, and Sir and Gabi's relationship is top notch. The acting is decent throughout the show (the main actors are good but the others aren't that great). I am excited for what is to come but I do hope it improves. Overall 6/10 is a fair score I think.

I love the concept of this series, but the acting is just awful!! Like, embarrassingly amateur and predictable. I never once forgot I was watching actors at work, each performance straining to convince; which meant none were very believable. Super stereotypical villains and heroes, which was irritating after awhile- it's not so easy to spot who is who is real life, folks. It's would be nice if it was, but a certain appearance doesn't indicate "good" or "bad". I really tried and I wanted so much to like this show, but I truly cannot keep watching. Maybe it would be fine tucked into the Lifetime movie library, or if Hallmark has a drama category?
I'm hooked on the Sir storyline but that is completely because of Sir and MPG's portrayal of him. He is a morbidly fascinating character. Unfortunately, he's kind of the only one in the entire show.
Years ago I read a book where the main character was so lovable and such an amazing person... because the author kept shoving that down my throat. Nothing the character actually said or did showed these things. I feel like that same person is writing this show.
I'm struggling to understand how Gabi is so successful and loved. I find her character very off-putting and not because she's a strong, independent boss lady. I just don't find her to be loving and real as everyone portrays her to be.
This show is filled with broken people and that formulaically can work, but it needs a strong and caring leader. While the writers keep telling us that Gabi is that person, I don't see it.
Something just isn't quite right here.
I'm going to keep watching because I want to see where the Sir storyline goes. I know he's the Bad Guy, but he's by far the only real reason I'm tuning in.

The lead actress is the low point of this show. I don't care whatsoever about her character and I should. The young lady who plays her in flashbacks is more compelling. Having said that, I think the show is good and the rest of the cast does a great job pulling you into their story. I don't know how long this show will last but I am invested in their stories. I really like seeing Mark Paul in this role. Creepy. Doesn't think he's the bad guy. Well done. I'm sorry but they need a better actress to play the lead or kill her off and let someone else take it. She's too Vivica A Fox and that's not a compliment.
I thought the promos looked interesting! However, it was so absurd, I could barely make it through 2 episodes! The whole premise is ridiculous, the acting is atrocious & the plot is way beyond belief! You made a big mistake with this one NBC! Ugh! The lead actress is over the top with her tough broad persona which is actually laughable! The rest of the cast isn't much better! The lead actress keeps this bad guy prisoner and he's supposed to be helping her in her quest to find missing people! Why would he help her? Makes absolutely no sense! My 10 year old granddaughter could write a more plausible script!
