Why? (in a nancy kerrigan post knee smashing voice)

Warning: Spoilers
It's really bad. Heigl is miscast, just not believable as a super agent. She seems way too young (not to mention unstable) to be peers with the tippy top of American leadership. Probably should of gotten a stronger lead as this show seems to be completely driven by the main character. It almost seems like they are pandering to 19 year old alcoholic college students that are hoping they can still get wasted every night while being at the top of their professional careers after college. Sophomoric thinking at best, but hey, that means you passed at least one year.

I lost hope for quality writing when a Syrian senior agent sneaks a phone through metal detectors by the ingenious method of ----- putting it under his hat. I guess the machines don't detect metal above the shoulders. There are many more implausible situations but I don't think punishing myself from any further recall of that show is warranted.

If this show continues its trajectory it will irreversibly damage whatever credibility Heigl had left. The pilot was bad enough I won't stick around to find out.
