Somehow the show's creators think flashback = suspense. Wrong. In this show they are just a distraction and annoyance. I see they really cut back on them in Episode 3, and that's a good move. Now they need to really juice up the scripts.
I've watched the first three episodes and, well, I'm bored. It's not that the show doesn't have some A-list cast members doing their best (Innes, Underwood, Ivanek, Collins), but even they can't breathe life into a storyline that's just ho hum. Every one of them deserves better material.
The Jason Ritter character and his girlfriend are there to appeal to a young audience, I guess, but are really a tired and uninteresting plot device. Every time the show switches to their little saga, I channel surf (and often watch another network's commercials).
I'll watch one more episode, but if things don't pick up that will be the last.
It will be a surprise if this show finishes its first season.
