Appears that the writers weren't creative enough to fill each episode with good, well paced, relevant dialogue. So we end up with long pauses, filler back and forth dialogue that contributes absolutely nothing to the story and huge gaps in information as investigation takes place. I hate to simply mimic other reviews, but terrible and unimaginative writing. Acting was either over the top or stiff and awkward, so not believable. Daughter definitely the best of the bunch. Will was not bad, but still something left to be desired. With better writing, perhaps it would have boosted acting, as well. So many holes in storyline! Watching is torturous.

As much as I do like the storyline of this series, I have a hard time overcoming the dull and unimaginative dialogue. It is slow to say the least. The acting is not top shelf either but suffices. I am forcing myself to watch just to see where the story goes.

Story line started off good but completely fell apart. These are the most corrupt and inept FBI agents ever! The lead female agent meets a new guy during the investigation (online). Date 1 takes him home to her house....sleeps with him and then 3rd date takes him to the FBI SAFE HOUSE to drop something off before the head out to dinner???? Who does that??? Worst and most stupid cops ever!

Could have e been a good show- poor writing poor acting and hard to track Would have been better if the story flowed better and believable and the acting was less forced Should have paid more attention to the acting and story plot line than the styling and trying to cover every character

The premise was exciting and I expected this would be a really interesting show. Well, I can't tell exactly what made it not great: the acting, the direction, the script? There were stupid decisions by characters, and huge plot holes. One actor seemed to have an Australian accent, then surfer dude accent, then standard American accent, all at different times. Another character hates to wear pants, or shirts and for an interior designer knows how to crack complicated code, as you do. And the mom? Ugh, awful. I dislike her as much as the "bad guys". I'm still watching literally only because I want to know who is behind the code. (I'm on ep 5). I really wish more thought would have been put into making this. It really had promise, but did not deliver.
