User Reviews

Finally a good episode again

After a huge slump of several episodes with mediocre writing, the show seems finally back to form with an episode focusing on Dex and her past, a solid investigation and good dynamics between characters that don't have to do with love triangles. Well, not exactly anyway.

The various guests were pretty good too but you have to wonder about the casting of a Eurasian actress to play the member of the Tribe. Her performance was pretty good but she really didn't look the part and at this point, I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to find actresses who fit the ethnicity they play, especially in the US.
