Quite good with one big flaw Enticing plot, high tension, gorgeous femme fatale, believable bullies, and good dialogue that's half psychological profiling and half special forces technique. The flaw is that Hugh Laurie's character is an annoying idiot: high-strung, impulsively stupid, a blundering bourgeoisie who gets himself in deep water. If you can stomach this anti-House, you'll enjoy this series.
