Boring, bloated, and cliché, this series just keeps getting worse, not better. The acting is OK, sometimes over-the-top as the cast tries to deliver outdated, forced dialogue that tries to mimic the poetry of noir wit. The money spent on this series is on screen, but not the motivation for greenlighting it. We get an expensive rendering of old LA, but the story just fails to come to life. If this is a pivotal episode in the series, then I don't want to see what comes after.
