Such a promising start and decent storyline, but totally squandered in later episodes.
It started so well - Jeff Bridges as the retired CIA agent, trying to enjoy his life, despite having to watch his back constantly. However, after about 3 episodes it just seemed to run out of steam. I was prepared to overlook some of the silly decisions and actions that Chase made/took whilst on the run (mostly seeming to be there to pump up the tension) but from episode 4 it was as dull as ditchwater.
Endless navel gazing and soul searching, wasting the talents of some great actors with a script that would have made reading the phone book feel like a James Bond novel.
I guess that the end of the final episode was meant to be a cliff hanger......but it wasn't. It just petered out into a "well, I don't think I'll bother with series 2" scenario. Ironic, really, as John Lithgow was great in "Cliffhanger" :)
Such a shame. Don't waste you time on it, unless you are having trouble sleeping in which case episode 7 is the perfect insomnia cure.
