ThiefHott Too much of everything

Ploydsge just watch it!

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

onefreakinword I like Jeff Donovan. He was great in Burn Notice and he's the best thing about this show so far. But he's not enough to make this show interesting. The pace of the storyline is SLOW. The characters are unlikeable. They're basically all sociopaths of various degrees, even some of the children. I watched the first season, hoping things would pick up as it went, but no. Then, I tried watching the first few episodes of the second season, but still slow, dull and unlikeable. I'm still trying to figure out what the overall plot of the series is supposed to be, because it seems as if the writers are making it up as they go along. I just can't give this boring, pointless show any more of my time. So disappointed.

xxi_centuryboy Spoiler alert maybe. This show is extremely well written, with complex characters and an intricate plot. Donovan plays Charlie Haverford as a beaten down former magician turned pseudo psychic, who is constantly fighting his better judgment. This is explicitly stated in a conversation he may or may not have had with a landscaper stating he is like Sylvester the cat with the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other. Think Breaking Badder. Is he the good guy or the bad guy? He definitely was a total douche-bag to a waitress, yet couldn't steal millions of dollars from a woman who really wouldn't miss it. His wife is not to be trusted, his sister is just as bad and his kid is a basket case from all the shenanigans and a dead girlfriend. He works for Fonso, part of a gypsy cartel who run the psychics, starts to run a long con without telling them, while they run their own con on him. The only real downside, other than some unlikely scenarios, is Dr. Nora White played by Susan Misner who must have gone to the Kristen Stewart school of acting. Gulping, blinking and stuttering her way through her performance, she is the worst character on the show. I cringe every time she is on. As a doctor, she is so credulous to everything Haverford says to her. She is supposed to be doing a follow up on a head injury Haverford receives at the beginning of the series. She immediately has a high school crush on him for no apparent reason, believes he can see into the future with no evidence other than his word, and recommends mushrooms as her first choice of therapy. Seriously? A normal responsible Doctor character would have served just as well, we don't need this idiotic portrayal of a medical professional, and we didn't need it to be portrayed by a Kristen Stewart reject. She has some kind of bizarre God conversation with her ex? husband, lives in a gorgeous home, and has a pointless scene in which she is putting her dog down. Nora is a college graduate and thinks Nostradamus really predicted the future. This is such sloppy character writing it almost ruins the show. I kept hoping White Tony, or Eduardo or Fonso would take her out. There are so many times it looks like Donovan is acting with her and thinking, this is how you are going to play it? OK, but I am going to play it correctly so good luck. If you can stand her performance, the show is pretty darn good. Word to the show runners, give Dr. White an overdose of mushrooms or something in Season 2, and put Dr. House on his case.

existenchillist I wasn't sure what I'd think of this show and at first glance, and to be honest, I didn't even want to give it a shot. I was bored one night and gave up on Walking Dead, so I took a chance. Glad I did! After the first episode, I couldn't stop watching it and I ended up finishing the whole season in like 3 days or so. So many ups and downs! I was gritting my teeth the whole time I was watching it. I'm from LA and I really like TV shows that take place here for some reason. It's cool to see my own neighborhood on TV. I don't want to give anything away, but I really hope Hulu picks it up for a second season. The last scene of the final episode had me crapping my pants.

whatithinkis Season 1:It's really hard for me to sort out what's good and what's not with this thing.I WANT to like it because the premise is so fun. I think I always find Donovan better than his material and I don't know how that happens to an actor.The problem with this is that it is continually so 'almost' as good as it could be.There's a central tackiness that seems to get in the way of its greatness.The therapist is flighty or helpful. Which is it.The protagonist is a (transforming) visionary or a con artist. Feral or caring. Stunningly cunning or oblivious. The problem is that he's all of these in ten episodes. The story arcs are all over the place.Ditto the wife's 'issues.'I was overlooking all of these shortcomings and still rooting for the premise, but what really got to me was the immensely contrived and convoluted tenth episode filled with myriad plot sinkholes, wtfs and overlaid with a cheapness, a sleaziness that ultimately was simply depressing.So I gave it a six. Too bad. It coulda been, shoulda been, woulda been . . .Season 2:Could not EVEN make it to the end of Episode 2. Slo w w w w . Bad writing. Gaping plot holes.He actually turns Tarot cards over, two from side to side, then one Top To Bottom and calls the card reversed. WHAT!NOT good. Too bad. I'm out. Rating down from 6 to 3.
