This is not a bad show. It's directed competently if unremarkably. The script is adequate. The acting much better than the content, although British Ben Mendelsohn's American accent sounds awkward and fake, taking away from his otherwise fine performance. I've seen this actor in many UK productions and he's always been reliable; however his accent coach has let him down, leaving him with exaggerated "r's" making him sound at time more like a pirate (Arrrrrgh!) than a chief investigator. Likewise, Ralph Ineson, another fine UK actor, sounds phony with his bad US accent. Why cast these people and not American/Canadian actors with genuine accents? Because the director is Argentinian and not familiar with the way we speak in North America. Despite these drawbacks, it's still a relatively enjoyable outing. Just not nearly as good as it should have been.

Woodley is great as usual, Mendelsohn's bad US accent ruins it.
