This is kind of like a thousand pound weight sitting on top of a table
a whole lot of potential waiting for a nudge over the edge. This show has the potential to take off like a rocket. The idea is brilliant and the cast is coming around. I can deal with the cub reporters, I mean they are typical kids who don't listen and they are turning out to be kind of fun. The priest who can't stay out of trouble, he needs to be in it more often. Now that inept FBI agent, what is her point – she just doesn't cut it. I mean, if she could act, that would be one thing – but the way she forces badly contrived script only exposes her as a very weak link. Also, every time Carmen steps into a scene it almost seems the story is all about her and her messed life – cry me a river. If it were up to me, I would write the entire FBI out of the story all-together and I think I would add a character who provides some kind of comedic relief (one a little older than the kids) sidekick who is maybe a genius with puzzles. He or she could suggest a next step for the 'team' to take or help solve them really difficult mysteries. Stepping out on a limb, I think a little humor may actually add contrast to the supposed seriousness of the tale. The show's pace is generally okay but the story has a tendency to jitter and jump around at times – a little chuckle here and there would help transition as well. I would also suggest slowing down the pace of the main story a bit and maybe concentrate more on suspense. This show could easily become a favorite, but I do sense that PC influences will tank whatever brilliance this machine may possess before it even gets a chance at a solid beginning. I watched the second episode and could already detect corrosive effects of political correctness beginning to eat away at whatever chance this show has
too sad. I gave this show a 7, I hope I have not stepped out on another limb.
Update Alert - Just watched the latest show and it appears the writing is less choppy. The FBI Agent seems to be more solid in her roll and less of a loser - good recover on her. The show is picking up and I am starting to watch it because I am interested
