The main character is annoying. She reminds me of the ladies caught on COPS/reality Youtube videos screaming at the police. Her dress is unprofessional, her attitude is unprofessional, and she's just plain obnoxious. I like the idea of a counter-culture person being a savant but she needs to be more subtle like a Monk or Columbo, not an oversexed harridan.

The most debilitating character to the plot was Courtney Ford. I loved her in Dexter but here she's just nasty and over-the-top sociopathic. Her poorly written character is the reason I turned it off and stopped watching.

In fact, the entire show is over the top. James Lesure, who was a wonderful understated supporting actor in Las Vegas, languishes as a wannabe agent who's content as a middling bureaucrat. Her immediate supervisor Culp is given short shrift.

Nathan Filion is a cameo actor who gets top billing. Not only a misrepresentation but a blatant bait-and-switch.

A cute premise but a bad script, good actors given substandard material, and poor pacing make this an unsatisfactory view. Pass!

I never understand people who rate movies based on reality versus expected. No, this show isn't realistic (the American airbase closed 10 years ago and guns aren't played with in PI like they are in the USA)

But it's fun and the lead character Christian Kane is extraordinary. And the detective chick is hot (mama the bikini scene!), the sidekick is a martial arts guru, and the scenery is beautiful. It's a silly little show but succeeds wildly as enjoyable, even if completely unbelievable.
