    Unfortunately, the burned-out doctor is so naive and so laughably gullible that just about every choice feels pre-determined and every consequence can be seen coming a mile away. Add several scenes of clunky, overwritten dialogue and an underwritten female lead to an almost complete lack of suspense, and the end result is a cliche-ridden drama that is a painful chore to sit through.

And it simply doesn't click. The narrative is messy sometimes and the characters aren't very likable too. It isn't a bad show but it isn't quite interesting either.… Full Review »

    Vastly underrated. Wonderful psychological thriller with a fresh approach to a dark narrative. Each episode continually builds upon the last,Vastly underrated. Wonderful psychological thriller with a fresh approach to a dark narrative. Each episode continually builds upon the last, creating an additive need to find out what happens next! Superb acting from Hugh Laurie & Ethan Suple, as well as from the rest of the cast. The cinematography provides a accurate mood/tone needed for this psychological thriller, as well as subtlety playing homage to the noir genre. Brilliant score and musical accompaniment, one of my favorite is recent memory. Editorial decisions is also something worth noting, with direct cuts of facial expressions and voice over used appropriately to convoy deeper thinking. I enjoy wanting to figure out the next "move" and always exploring the details constantly layout to build the bigger "climatic" picture. Certainly not a cookie cutter show. The writing gives notable quotes almost every episode. Definitely a show worth viewing for those who enjoy attention to detail and psychological thrillers. Cool original content from Hulu.… Full Review »

    Lazy, drawn out and cliched psychological drama. This is a rehashed version of 1992 Final analysis with a lead character that is not as sexyLazy, drawn out and cliched psychological drama. This is a rehashed version of 1992 Final analysis with a lead character that is not as sexy as Richar Gere (no offense Mr. Laurie). Critics are right. Only worth watching if your other favourite TV show is not on the air.… Full Review »
