    From the premiere, it's hard to gauge this uneven show. It merits several more looks.

    It's a somber, often leaden affair, beset with stiff dialogue.

    It would be nice if Angela’s persona were truly distinctive, but, played by Ms. Spencer, she may turn out to be just another very pretty face.

    Go to bed early tonight. Your eyes will thank you for avoiding Lifetime's preposterous "Eyes."

    I loved it and I am so disappointed that they are canceling it.. I don't understand. It had a twist of CSI and it was really good.
