    The show seems faster, brighter and more entertaining than most of the serials that beat it to the punch this fall.

    A pretty nifty, if completely insane, suspense/conspiracy/ chase/road adventure.

    The action is fast and sometimes even compelling, if not entirely believable - or even a little believable.
