Can't stand his new girlfriend. Just destroys the show for what I thought this would be. Looked great now turning into a old man love story. Her character just doesn't make much sense. He should've hit it and quit it.

Dan Chase and Zoey's scenes are horrible. It feels more like a psycho-analysis during a Dr. Phil show.

There are so MANY different ways to learn about Chase's past and develop his character. Choosing to do it through Zoe...Bad decision. The scenes are boring.

The acting (Lithgow and Bridges) is top notch and one of the highlights of the show.

Plenty of light TV junk catering to those who don't want to be forced to think while watching.

Really enjoying this show. This review is just a response to the user saying the subtitles are pretentious stupid and dumb. And dont make the show realistic (it would be realistic for every Afghan to be speaking English?)

The show started well but slowed down as the episodes went along

I cannot figure out if Jeff Bridges has something in his mouth this show or has no bottom teeth.

Once you notice, it is distracting...

It is a joy watching John Lithgow's range. It is a joy watching Alia's masterful performance. Their scene together, I keep going back just to enjoy the back and forth.

Those who accidentally wandered in looking for adrenaline and action alone can go choose from countless other forgettable shows that can best satisfy their taste.

This keeps getting deeper and I am loving it. Keep up the good work and don't mind the mindless.

Show that went off road in previous episode has found its path back, but the key problem - Zoe continues.

Though we see less of her frustrating conversations compared to Ep 4, still I am confused on the need to suddenly make her a super star and Jeff's sidekick.

The scene when Jeff leaves his dogs at Pet Care before starting abroad was emotional and made us feel that He should have taken them along instead of Zoe.

This episode is slow, and doesn't have a lot of action but it's still incredibly good. The suspense and tension in some scenes are great. The acting is phenomenal especially from the 4 leads but you expect that when Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow on the show. Some key things were also relieved in this episode which I thought were great, can't wait to see what happens next.

What started off looking like a great vehicle for 2 great actors has abandoned it's plot energy for dialog dreariness. Did Jeff get too tired doing all those fight scenes? The last 2 episodes have dragged, and consists mostly of California Zen babble conversations that do not advance the plot. I can give it one more episode to decide whether to look for greener pastures.

I've tried but I have some problems with the series. I'll list them in no particular order... #1, everything seems to be going in slow motion. It's a series and not a two hour movie so I guess that slow pace is understandable. Still, life is too short for me to keep going with the series, such as it is. #2, Jeff Bridges. I like Jeff Bridges but he is a craggy graybeard. His voice is labored, and raspy. The series needs to be called The Middle-Aged Man with a somewhat younger actor. Maybe Liev Schreiber or Kiefer Sutherland. It would be more believable. And just for the record, Jeff Bridges is but 6 months older than me. #3. The plot is needlessly complicated. The characters keep trying to explain it to one another which is really for the benefit of the viewer ("exactly what are we doing here?"). I don't know, maybe #3 can be blamed on me and not the series. Still, it's my review.

Another good episode but why do all the scenes need to be so dark? The actors can barely be seen. I know it's mostly at night, but I'd like to see expressions, etc....

Like many others on here, I've never liked Zoe's character, especially when she turned out to be a gold digger who never even took the time to pay her son's tuition. As a woman, I'm very offended by the way Zoe is portrayed! This episode kinda sucked. UGH, way too much introspective California babble! I'm enjoying the back story, and I love the back story characters and flash backs, but the meaningless talk talk talk really drags.

PS The age difference between Chase and Zoe is preposterous. Funny how you never see May December affairs on TV where the man is younger. This aspect of the show is a wet dream fantasy for all the male viewers and adds nothing to the plot.

The guy who plays younger Chase is a weak actor and the whole flashback background story is too slow and boring. Zoe, who in the end of the previous episode was ready to kill Dan Chase suddenly has become much softer in this episode and seeking help. Huh? Make up your mind, writers! How can a character changes personalities so fast???

It's like the experienced talented screen writers walked out after the 3rd episode and they grabbed the washed-up unemployed writers from the original Dynasty series to slap something together. Just cringeworthy. Zoe should've been disposed of as collateral damage in Episode 3. They dumped the dogs this episode and they were the only characters I'd come to care about!

I fell asleep and woke up like 2 or 3 times during this episode. Maybe the show ran out of budget, it felt like a soap opera drama where each character would get a 5 minute long soliloquy. It was like the characters were reading the book to me, I'd rather do that myself.

Episodes 12 3 very promising after that down the drain. All because of storyline and not acting. I stopped half way thru 4. Too bad. Zoe is not likable at all! Can't go on even though I'm tv desperate! Yeah it's that bad!

But lets cut all the action out of it after episode 3. Wtf kind of 180 did they make? I was watching it because of the action not this boring story line that it turned into.

Can't tell if it's the directors or the writers of this episode but it feels like this might be turning into more of a soap opera instead of an action packed spy thriller.

This episode was very heavy on dialogue and no action to speak of. I have no problem with lots of talking but the whole episode was like some therapy session and I for one (and my wife) found it to be rather ridiculous after awhile. The plot was advanced hardly at all. We both groaned when, once again, the woman that's essentially been kidnapped by Dan Chase starts up with all these questions about his character. In a nutshell, we really don't know enough about any of these people to really care about them. The actors are trying hard but in this episode the writers (and director?) failed them. I'm hoping that things will get better, and I'm willing to keep watching, but this show, which had a 7 rating from me before tonight's episode has dipped down to a 5.

Jeff bridges is doing a great job as a supporting actor for zoe, emily, and emilys dead mom. Dialogue is also a 10/10. Reminds me of that time i went to a psychiatrist.
