FIVE OBSERVATIONS
4This show has an amazing cast. Even though it’s fun to watch heavy-hitters like Sutherland and Krause, I am more captivated by the lesser-known actors Seth Gabel, Natalie Zea and Glenn Fitzgerald. These three ‘siblings’ get to exhibit the most outrageous behavior. It is very fun to watch.
4 There are some nice twists and turns with the storytelling. The end of each episode usually has some sort of reveal of who is working for whom. It has a very Dynasty feel to it with a bit more edge.
4 Nick’s indecisiveness between his wife Lisa (Zoe McLellan) and Karen Darling is starting to get annoying. Make a decision already!
4 The addition of Lucy Liu and full cast member Blair Underwood has been good for the show. They needed more villainous people. I do miss Samaire Armstrong (The OC), although they didn’t give her much to work with last season
4 With the large cast and the many twists, it is a little too much to fit in an hour long show. They should focus on two or three stories at a time instead of six or so.
RECOMMENDATION
