BIG Quality Drop-Off

Wow, this episode is MISERABLE compared to the previous 2. MISERABLE. If the pilot was a 9 and the second one was an 8, this was a 2 ... maybe even a 1. The writing is weak, and there are 2 performances that I would call "porn quality." Just MISERABLE. I literally felt like I was watching some 70s cop show. The direction was slow, the edits were lazy, and the three guest stars were all totally lacking in acting chops. Writing-wise, there were a handful of strong lines in the first 5 minutes, but there was no shimmer coming off the page thereafter. I do hope this writer and director are not -- either of them -- entrusted with another episode of what looked like a promising series.
