A few things keep this series from being great. The editing and direction at times are not up to par. Too many cuts with surprisingly great writing mixed with bad writing. That's hard to stomach and an uncommon phenomenon. Usually great writing breeds more great writing. The problem is that most of the poor writing involves the Siobhan Quays character. The Decourcy/Siobhan coupling isn't working and it never has. Especially Siobhan, that character is becoming an eyesore.

Kevin Bacon is amazing! Much of the police/FBI storyline has great acting and makes it worth a watch. Barely.
