Didn't like this show at all. The cast lacks any chemistry. The very plot points in the pilot that set-up what will be an overall 24 type of story are just not good enough. I had a few specific problems with the pilot and here they are. Waist your time at your own risk.
Head agent says he needs 20 instead of 4 glue pellets so he can pull latent prints off of a chair, which he does in the dining room because someone has provided a portable plastic “bubble” they can surround the chair in. I’m pretty sure you still need a machine to do this, not just super futuristic “tablets” that you can crack in a cellophane tent. Also, there is a liability with him performing it over the CSI unit.
The primary FBI agent is assigned to find the Senator’s missing wife. His last assignment, even though we later found out he protested the inclusion of a sniper in, led to the death of a young boy. OK.
The Senator’s daughter finds that her boyfriend has hidden bloody clothing and a bag full of money, next to and inside the washing machine, clever, and her reaction by the end of the episode is to take it and not report it. The mystery mounts? Come On.
The Senator’s son by a previous marriage cares for his step mother so much that after we find out the step mother and mother met in public, the mother was supposed to be in Europe instead, he IMs her. Like she’d know ho to IM.
The lead FBI agent is not only catty, but snarky with his superior. Yeah right.
The Senator is snarky with the President. Yeah right.
The primary detective, seems to be the only one who knows that the missing woman’s BMW, or whatever she drove had a GPS tracking device. Of course the rest of the FBI task force missed this bit.
There is too much added science and futuristic tracking capabilities, even for the kidnapping of a Senator’s wife.
At the end they find the recently thawed wife of another politician, who went missing ten years before, but the perpetrator’s note in the form of a “Saint” card is directed at the current investigator. I guess the perp was saving up peoplecicles until he had a reason to use them.
When they finally find the car belonging to the “perp” who must of kidnapped the Senator’s wife, it’s driven by a guy who said he found it in front of his apartment with the keys in it running, so he took it, and they believe him. This is of course after they find the man they are looking for in the trunk of same said car having received a bullet between the eyes. Of course the bullet turns out to be too “heavy” in grams to be a standard 38. Bom Bum Ba.
The primary FBI investigator also knows the weight difference in grams of a 38 caliber round leading to a “rare” gun that there is only one registered in the whole state. We have to wait until the next episode to see how this evidence works out.
