If you have trouble hanging with a show, if you start to fade around Episode 3, if your mind easily wanders, this show is the cure.
This show has run two seasons, and I have no idea if there will be a third. We can only hope. But this story (two stories, really) of two brothers, one a reporter, one an autistic computer genius (and no, that's not horrible, it works) grabs you by the collar and does with you what it will.
Dan Spielman and Ashley Zukerman are stunning as brothers Ned and Jesse. Their sibling relationship arrives fully fleshed out, complicated and nuanced, one we accept immediately. Not that we have the time to examine it at our leisure, because the plot arrives like a freight train, and we are have to hang on, waving in the slipstream as it tears down the track. This is true for each season, by the way, though the stories are mostly self-contained. There is government corruption, business corruption, nasty heavies as well as the morally conflicted and the less brave.
You can watch both seasons over two nights, and you very well might. And, boy, will you be glad you did. Unmissable.
