    The first episode seemed interesting, but as soon as with the second episode it started to go downhill. The basic concept of the series is not bad, but the execution is. Most importantly, the foreshadowing technique that is used is essentially sloppy and not credible, the plots are clearly based on a very simple formula and so far there is no meta-plot visible.

    Thought it would be good. But it's formulaic, the characters obvious and uninteresting. It was a good idea in A Beautiful Mind. Here it just seems silly. Waste of time.

    The scripts are getting painfully predictable as this show slogs on. A recent one involving an art heist from an art gallery was just embarrassingly sophomoric in its utter lack of knowledge about fine art or the gallery world. The steam has mostly run out of the boiler on what once promised to be a good locomotive of storytelling.

    People who like procedurals will enjoy playing along. But the real charm of the series--as in a lot of cable originals--is in its ensemble.

    It's an enjoyable enough whodunit. The problem is McCormack. [23 Jul 2012, p.38]

    This reduction of a serious, debilitating illness to a personality quirk would be as unwatchable as it is insulting were it not for one thing: an appealingly disheveled star turn from Will & Grace's Eric McCormack as Daniel.
