The only redeeming part of this show is Elisha Cuthbert's breasts, other than that it is garbage on every level.

Clearly no one involved in the production of the show ever spoke to a person who worked at an intelligence agency because nothing is remotely reflective of the real deal. The technical jargon that dominates the show has no actual meaning besides to sound smart and technical to the audience of morons who adore the show.

Aside from the blatant lack of accuracy the acting is awful. I have to believe it is the poor writing and directing that makes the acting so awful because even acting greats such as Dennis Hopper are complete garbage on this show.

The melodramatic subplots show that not only have the writers never consulted anyone in law enforcement, but they've also never consulted anyone who has had a real human relationship. The writing seems like it was done by severely autistic agoraphobics who have never had a conversation with another human being because every line of every scene is so unrealistic and awkward.

I can't stop watching it though. It is a persistent trainwreck that I can't look away from. The fact this steaming pile of garbage has won so many awards proves to me that humanity is doomed and that I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
