ireviewnetflix.com rating: * I'm not shocked at all that this show was cancelled. First of all, its premier followed an episode of The Sopranos and it lost almost 8 million viewers. Second of all, it sucked. I mean, it's really bad. Bad dialogue, bad writing, just a weak show. I couldn't suffer through the whole season. Three episodes were bad enough.
