    Lots of potential. Sometimes it takes itself too seriously and the plot is improbable, but they are trying, I find myself interested by most storylines and like that the bad guy may not actually be bad. Jennifer Carpenter does as good of a job as possible for how they have written her character, which can be somewhat uneven. Not sure why some people have such strong feelings of angerLots of potential.

Not sure why some people have such strong feelings of anger and hatred about this show, yet Whiskey Cavelier gets a pass. I am enjoying it for what it is and look forward to further episodes.… Expand

    As with many new series, I feel that this started slow and the characters needed time to develop. But by the end of the season, this show was right up there in my top 5 must watch every week shows. I really hope for a season 2.

    Carpenter and Chestnut solidly play their roles, but Enemy Within doesn’t crackle the way The Blacklist did in early episodes. There’s nothing particularly special going on here, and it’s hard to muster the enthusiasm to say much more than that.

    It's also a dull world. Agent Keaton operates a squad played by a reasonable assortment of actors who, through the first and third episodes sent to critics, mostly dwell in the background. ... Chestnut isn't that much more interesting.

    In the episodes given to critics for review, it remains escapist fare with a self-serious veneer of danger. Carpenter brings the emotional weight; let’s hope the show lives up to her performance.
