UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

t_kam Reading other reviews, this show has been damned for 1. Heigl is an executive producer therefore has a vested interest in promoting her character 2. She's too young for her high level role 3. She's got a daft name in Charleston 4. Poorly acted and poor plot. Let's look atthese 1. Check out the exec producers for, amongst others, TheBlacklist, CSI (all iterations) and Bones (now there's a show long pastit's best used by date that's now smelling). 2. Heigl is in her mid 30's but I didn't hear any similar criticisms of the character of Jack Ryan in the same role. Also, a bit older but is 44 too young to actually be the President (JFK). 3. And did others say Indiana Jones had a silly name. I've heard a lot of silly names but this is no worse than many 4. Subjective but it's not bad. Not great but not bad.So, to summarise, it hasn't set the TV world alight and I can't see it winning awards but I'm happy enough to while a way an hour watching it as reflected in my score. As an aside, I knew about POTUS and also FLOTUS but as the spouse of the President is a man, what DO you call him? FHOTUS doesn't trip off the tongue so easily.

schmandel Not very good at all.I've watched the entire season waiting for just about anything interesting or entertaining. Having never seen "Grey's Anatomy" as a point of reference I must say that Heigl swings between overacting and wooden model poses with ease.The writing is not very good at all and has the same listless mechanical feel conveyed by Heigl's acting. The soap opera aspects of the script are just awkward and tedious. These elements are distracting and enhance the sense that the show has no idea what it should be.I don't think there's anything to be salvaged here. One season should be enough for anyone.

Philip Bowlen This show has some of the worst writing I have seen in awhile. I mean Im assuming no one watched the pilot at the network and just thought hey we can headline kathrine hiegl.. because it is total and complete garbage.We are to believe. she is an all powerful CIA analyst who happens to to be the presidents son's girlfriend or fiancé or whatever.. and she does just about EVERYTHING in the CIA.. she briefs the president on the daily book, deals with the special ops teams on the ground herself, handles every single catastrophe that comes up herself.. makes decisions on whether to rescue a guy who for some reason looks exactly likes her ex boyfriend (they may have resolved this since.. I couldn't bare it anymore to watch that far) or to target a top terrorist... herself. she catches a spy who sneaks a cellphone in his hat to the CIA..yes his hat.. and she has her friend intercept him in some ruse... herself...all of this funny not by design material in the FIRST EPISODE. gee i want to be a CIA analyst..Its like someone had a film class and said just throw me idea's no matter how stupid.. and then threw them all into the pilot... where did they find these writers.Then lets take kathering hiegl.. at one time she was attractive.. that was many years ago apparently. now she is not so hot. yes, it is petty but her double chin is very distracting.. she has like one facial expression. and don't throw me in with people who care about her personal life.. because I couldn't care less what she does. but good acting in this show isn't something she does.Its all irrelevant anyway.. the show has fallen to an 0.8 in the 18- 49 demo so.. we will not be seeing a season two of this atrocity .. I actually feel my intelligence being insulted just tuning in. Im not sure if the other reviewers on here leaving the 10/10 reviews watched the same show as me or mistakenly tuned into something else and thought it was this show. writing can't get much worse. its even worse then flashforward was in that regard... bye bye state of affairs.

klamut1960 I binge-watched this show today (5/6 episodes) and really enjoyed it. Katherine Heigl is excellent as Charleston Tucker and Alfre Woodard shines as President Payton. I also enjoy seeing Courtney Vance as the President's husband and James Remar (who was fabulous in Dexter and Sex and the City) in the role of Syd. I don't understand all the negative reviews. It's very well done, especially for a network show and the issues it explores are very timely. I think people need to give it a chance. Each episode held my attention and I could not wait to watch the next one. In fact, I'm off to watch Episode 6 right now.
