I wanted to watch this at first, but the endless promos and Ashley Judd's over pronunciating every word drive me crazy.

I WILL DO ANNNNNNNNNNYTHING.

Seems kind of overdone for something that will be cancelled after 10 episodes.

^The show is only running ten episodes with an option for a second season. They are supposed to wrap up this season's story by episode 10 and have setup for a possible second season.

I enjoyed. Sure it's not the most original plot, but I've always been a fan of Ashley Judd and this is really well done. I actually wish we'd do more shows like this in the states. Run them for a 8-10 episodes as a series. I think this or shortened seasons like basic/pay cable does it what networks need to adapt.

What I meant was the show is clearly expensive to make with location shoots, action sequences and Ashley Judd to pay, yet ABC had so little faith in it that they scheduled it for March and it debuted with lower A18-49 ratings than Charlie's Angels (and we know how that ended). I love Ashley Judd too, but I don't want to get invested in something that clearly has no life span unless it was super brilliant. I'm glad they will give the viewers a proper ending for the story arc but I bet it will be left open ended, which I hate.

I got ya. That's why I think we should have more stand alone 6/8-10 episode series, a la Harper's Island, with a beginning/middle/end. That we don't get left hanging at the end.

I agree with you that shorter seasons are better. It limits network interference with rewrites and keeps everything more focused and tight.

This show is awesome! It's like a little mini-movie in every episode.

I was shocked to find out "the hard drive" was actually a person. And thank goodness Becca knew that guy wasn't her son.

That "chasing the plane" scene at the end?.... *shudders* Ashley Judd is amazing.

I like what I've seen of it. It manages to keep my attention.

This show is awesomeness.

(Last week...)
Great twist that the blonde guy (Maksim) ended up being the little boy that (GASP!) killed his own mother (boy, that scene was a shocker!)

(This week....)
Still pisses me off that somebody hasn't killed that bitch Violet yet. (Also not surprised that she killed CIA Chick...whose voice absolutely grated on my nerves, BTW..)

I definitely hope we get to see a lot more of Becca's friend Mary next season.

Sad line of dialogue when Maksim told Becca & Paul: "Now I have killed both my parents".

Wasn't a shock to me that Martin was Suspect Zero. I kinda knew it from the beginning of the episode. I figured it would be him or Gioncarlo.

Poor Michael. He just can't catch a break.

And is it just me, or does Michael's Russian friend bother the hell out of anyone else? My word! I just want her to die already... LOL! Is that bad?
