My wife and I really enjoyed this for the first half or so of the series. Then it got sappy. At one point the only reason we kept watching was the promise that it would be done at the end of May. We watched through May and only kept watching then because there were only a handful of episodes left.
There were some dumb scenes. In the bar when Wakefield burst in with the knife, Trish is pointing the gun DIRECTLY at him, and instead of shooting she backs into the bathroom and hops out the window. Dumb! And of course some of it defies belief, in the end we find that Henry really loves Abby and the marriage to Trish is a ruse. So why did Henry lay a trap for Trish when he thought she might be two-timing him? You'd think he wouldn't really care about that. That doesn't make any sense. Bad plotting by the writers is all I can think. They had too much air time for the show they were writing.
And another thing that bothered me was that they never found the first body, Trish's cousin, the one tied to the propeller shaft in the first episode. Again, more sloppy writing.
I read somewhere that this was going to be a series. I wonder how they were going to pull that off with a continuously dwindling cast.
In the end we found the show disappointing. Oh, and Katie Cassidy's hair and acting were so bad that I was hoping her character (Trish Wellington) would be killed off next.
score 4/10
