Despite the low budget feel to this series, it percolates at an even keel but always aims forward. I was drawn in and binged it to the end. The action is well choreographed, the pace accelerating with each episode. The many plot points kept me intrigued; as each layer is uncovered, the intensity grows.
That is not to say this is perfect. Far from it. Despite the interesting plot, holes as big as the Grand Canyon make for some forehead-slapping moments. The dialog is colorless, derivative and cheap. The soap opera elements bog down some of the middle episodes but I'm glad I stuck with it. The pacing and action are worth it and the two main characters are appealing.
