ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** Man, I really wanted to like this show, but it was just all right and I can kind of understand why it was canceled. I would have like to have seen it given more time to develop. The commercials for the show looked awesome and FOX had me thinking this was going to be the next big show. However, it wasn't as it was canceled after only four episodes. I decided to give it a chance anyway, but I should have known that, in spite of the commercials, this show wasn't going to be one that I was going to be that into. Like I said it was all right, but it was just all right. The cast was decent, but the characters were weak. Of course there was pleanty of action and the pacing was decent and if it had been given more time it might have developed into a decent show, but overall it wasn't that great and I'm kind of glad it was canceled.
