Trivia

User Reviews

So far, so bad
9 April 2015 | by – See all my reviews

No stereotype left out! Evil multinationals. Ruthless executives. A military industrial complex that kills heroic American soldiers on purpose. A Hollywood version of an Occupy Wall Street leader. A Hollywood version of a crackpot conspiracy theorist. (In addition to piles of paper covered with scribbling, he has genius-level hacking skills. ) Various one-dimensional characters, both good and evil. Villainous operatives who somehow know who knows what, exactly when to show up, and whom to get rid of. Lots of implausibility, e.g. when would Occupy Wall Street ever unite behind an American soldier for any reason?

The idea of the heroine having to find her way home from war, like Odysseus, is interesting, but it would be more interesting if the conspiracy building against her didn't seem so implausible. A more realistic story would be interesting enough. Sometimes less is more and realistic situations are usually more involving than comic book fantasies. This series has started out on the wrong foot.
