Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Griff Lees
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos) runs an L.A. security and investigation firm with partner Valerie Anderson (Rose Rollins). Danny Yoon and Sophie Novak are her associates. She is shocked when her fiancé Christopher Hall (Peter Krause) turns out to be Benjamin Jones aka Mr. X, a con man who has been taunting her. His lover Margot Bishop (Sonya Walger) and her mother Sybil Griffiths run the international criminal conglomerate, the Kensington Firm. They are later joined by Margot and Ben's long-abandoned daughter Tessa Riley (Philippa Coulthard) and often criminal partner Rhys (John Simm). Tommy Vaughan (T.R. Knight) is Alice's loser wannabe criminal brother. Justine Diaz (Gina Torres) is the FBI agent.Enos and Krause are terrific actors. It's interesting that they're leading this fun twisty Shondaland show. They may not have the highest of sex appeal but they are able to give it depth. The focus skewed more and more towards the criminal side as the show develops. That's really the best side to get at this show. A procedural of Vaughan trying to catch criminals is a different show and not as fun or sexy. This got canceled after two 10-episodes seasons.

I have to think that this steaming pile of. . . cheese is coming from the same people that brought us the 2008 Knight Rider series, or perhaps Baywatch. With the exception of the appearances by a few b- grade actors pulling up the curve, the acting is pretty horrible. I just can't watch drama this bad. It doesn't work. I'm completely shocked that the rating for this show is as high as it is. Horrible!

Love that this show keeps you on your toes, and even then, often you say...oh, I should have, but I just didn't see that coming.Each cop/good guy/bag guy type show needs a unique hook to keep you coming back, and this one has one that catches you in the beginning and keeps you coming back. It includes intrigue, love, hate, like, likable main characters and likable side kicks...and plot twists. You really like the bad guys in this show...and that's not easy to do, create likable killers.I liked this show so much that I actually watched 5 episodes via On demand, commercials and all, since I had to go out of town and my dish network stopped recording while I was gone... It was worth it though. If you've not watched this show, you can catch up on demand with dish if you've got it.Hope it stays on for a number of seasons.

I was pretty sure I wouldn't like this one after the 1st episode. Since then, wow, so many crap plot things. The main character barely moves - it's like she may crack her makeup or something. There was one episode where she was wearing an outfit that was SO '60's - that long sleeved cream mini-dress, with matching boots BARF - what happened to the wardrobe budget?? lol. I don't blame any of these things on the actors, I blame it on the writers. I was hopeful that Krause's character would have redeemed himself but there's always some mystery excuse. I agree with another review who was commenting on the FBI agent - my observation is that there is absolutely NO way a solo FBI agent would be working with the Ex of the supposed fugitive he's chasing (and still have contacts/resources, etc!). Sorry ABC, what a waste of at least 2 primo actors!
