The show does not feature an ensemble as in "Without a Trace." Poppy is on camera way too much. And when she's flashing back with her photographic memory everything goes to slow-mo and let me tell you by the end of the show you've seen that enough. With the exception of the lead, the characters are not developed and are uninteresting. We know that her love interest is still in love with her - but what the viewer can't shake is why? What's so great about her character that this great guy thinks she so fabulous? She seems pretty boring to the viewer. Additionally, although the leads former love interest is a terrific actor - he has no chemistry with Poppy. I think that Poppy was offered her own starring show and couldn't resist. Although a terrific actor Poppy doesn't really have a large enough array of acting tools or enough personal charisma to carry an entire show - in this pilot she's expected to. She has an air of indifference (especially toward men) that make her in a starring role - a let down in general. I would love to see her back in an ensemble - but I won't watch this snoozer again.
