Simply Perfect

How sad is this?

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

While sometimes hard to watch due to the central character's poor choices, the consequences of those choices are also shown and the series delivers a satisfying plot and ending. The episodes are well written, the twists and turns keep you guessing, and the acting is also exceptional. One of the best network TV shows I have seen. I see that IMDB shows the series rated TV-MA, but it was TV-14 when aired so I'm not sure why there is confusion about the rating.

The only good thing about this show is actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. But even he can't save this uninspired series. I was not intrigued by the plot or the dialogue. Nor do I like any of the characters. This is not the fault of any of the actors, it's the story-line. Just not enough there to carry a whole series. Maybe just a two hour tv film would have worked. Child abduction is not high concept, it's been done too many times. And there's nothing new in the story line or plotting that keeps the viewer interested. Kyra Sedwick is a so-so actress at the best of times, but her character is quite unlikable in this series. Very bad writing. I'm not surprised this show was cancelled.

We love Kira S, but ARE THEY SERIOUS...ten (days) episodes to find out what happened to the daughter...GET REAL...we're not up for ten weeks of agonizing waiting to find out. Way, way too frustrating! We quit tonight because in 3 weeks they just keep the viewer frustrated wondering what happened to the little girl...ten weeks of that is NOT HAPPENING for us. Bye!!!

I found it very very weird almost premonition like that she was wearing a Tom Petty Shirt and then talking about a "Casino Massacre" as a possible episode subject. The same evening this premieres and there was the Las Vegas Massacre and then the next day Tom Petty passes... So flippin weird!
