I was really hoping to like this show because it seemed to find a great niche for James Spader's talents and he is awesome in this role. Unfortunately for all of us, they have paired Spader with a lead actress, Megan Boone, who is as dry and tasteless as the Sahara. Where did they find this girl? She looks okay and she could use some serious help in the style department, but she really really needs to go back Method Acting 101 class because I'm fairly sure she failed the first time around. Seriously, Megan Boone delivers her lines like she's reading from crib notes on her hand. And the rest of the cast is just a slew of generic filler character actors who seem to be doing the best they can with what they've got. I gave this show a 5 based on Spader's work alone because if this show survives poor James Spader will have to carry it alone, I hope he has strong arms.
