    The drama’s dual flirtations with death and danger add an engrossing unpredictability to the mix that Dhavernas uses to her advantage.

    It combines the dark stuff with a dollop of fizzy champagne. With a fraction of the resources of most American shows but a surfeit of ideas and frisky energy, this Lifetime drama supplies one of the most impressive debuts of the year.

    What makes the show different is the dark comedy of Mary and Des’s missions. ... The counterintuitive humor helps make up for the less wise choices, mostly involving the sexual tension between Mary and the cop who’s on her trail.

    What ties it together, keeps it in line and most makes it go is Dhavernas.

    It’s a serious and stylishly watchable drama, thanks mostly to Dhavernas’s capable performance of a morally ambiguous person with too many dangerous irons in the fire, and Ryan’s portrayal of a hurt-and-handsome lawman struggling to do his job, even though he’s in love with his suspect.

It's notGreat lead actors and the drug dealer is a good actor as well. I like the story. It's dark, complex and yet easy to watch and funny. It's not boring. The subject itself is important and complicated. it's not black or white.

    This show is also very asthetic, and well done.

    It has some of that tension and criminal element mixed in, with the feeling of justice and being right.
    I really like the lead actress and the two male leads, her partner and the cop. I FF'ed through all her teenage daughter stuff. That did nothing for me and does not add to the show. They should drop the time they spend on that and add more of Mary and her cohorts. It seems like two shows, a show for teenagers, and then the actual show about Mary and what she does. I hope it gets a season three.    … Full Review »
