Had potential but that was it.
The annoying parts start to happen. I've only just started to watch the show (season one) and it had potential until everything got unrealistic and stupid. The annoying part piled on with everyone and everything is a Watcher, how can it be possible? The dumb wife sleeping with a man and having him move in within months and the daughter is now drawing pictures of him. Paul who shot Jacob blocked a crow bar and manage to fight with and when the gun turns on him, he cries frantically yelling you just killed my sister when he killed TWO people. Doesn't make any sense how characters can just shift change in an instant.*******spoiler
When he found the Watchers, what happened to his gun? He runs into the house unarmed with a bunch of rich nerds sitting around eating dinner that are supposedly stone cold murderers? Huh? These goof balls were just laughing and cheering and had no fear. What if he had a gun and killed one of them? Should they be scared? I mean they did give him one. He runs to find the daughter and didn't kick the door down right away but instead he kept talking and then gets tackled and knocks out.
I would like to always insert myself into the scenario and imagine what I would of done, I would of went in there and shot one of them as they thought of it as a joke, that I mean business. Afterwards take a hostage to get someone talking and always survey the area first to see who's behind you or not.
There's so much inconsistency with how a person should act in these type of scenarios. One point they are willing to help, like the gangsters, then they turn into preacher's preaching about my life isn't as valuable. Give me a break! You're a killer/gangster, it's what your do! The ex- wife is frantic and starts crying even harder when she is handed a gun. She looks at it and violently shakes worst than a case of severe Parkinson. Someone is trying to hurt you and you have a panic attack when you're handed a gun to protect yourself?! WHAT THE ****! Then in the basement, you have a change of heart and ready to be a killer now. There goes the character flip flopping again.
This show had great potential from watching episode one, I was on the edge of my seat just sucked in cause this is my type of thriller. Then it took a turn for the worst. Inconsistency with character structure destroyed it all with annoying unbelievable concept of a secret society having access to everything is an over kill. It's too unrealistic, it's not clever either because this storyline has been done over and abused. Why not just call Jack Bauer?
Sorry for any errors, was on a tablet so please excuse me.
score 7/10
