Really a Great Pilot! Bacon vs Purefoy!
25 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
It is much better than the Alcatraz one last year! It has character development. And that it has characters you want to care about.

Kevin Bacon is the lead character, as worn down protagonist and alcoholic Ryan Hardy, now an author. As he was the only law enforcement agent that brought down the main antagonist Joe Carroll, played with great acting by British actor, James Purefoy.

Carroll is a professor whom also has a wife that is a professor and ex-love interest to Hardy, Natalie Zea who's son Joe is Carroll's son.

While except for one agent, Shawn Ashmore who worships Hardy, the other agents view him as a liability. Rather than an asset. But Hardy must slowly yet surely gain their trust since he was in charge of the original case of Carroll's.

Maggie Grace is only in one episode as she is trying to get into a movie career. So won't spoil how she fits into the show.

Great start and a great pilot! Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy rocks!
