Review of Last Resort

I was curious to see what all the hype surrounding Last Resort was all about, so when it popped up for free viewing on Netflix I gave it a shot. When it was all said and done, I found some of the shows (or parts of shows) to be interesting, and others to be totally off the wall. The same with the acting. Andre Braugher was the best, IMO (except when he grimaced and bared his teeth; that's an image I'd like to get out of my head forever), and it was a real mixed bag after that. Daisy Betts was okay -- slightly reminiscent of Jennifer Garner in Alias (which is not a good thing in my book), but better. I'm not a big fan of Dichen Lachman, either in Dollhouse or Last Resort. And Scott Speedman's performance/role went increasingly downhill as the series raced to the finish line. (The rest of the cast is more or less forgettable.) All in all, I found the series somewhat entertaining, but I understand why it got canned -- it's just not that good.
