A fantastic cast of very strong performers cannot salvage the heavy-handed script. There's a constant feeling of "where have I heard this before" as the dialogue advances and reveals itself as formulaic and disappointingly contrived.
The premise of a murderous duo, who also seem to be survivors with unusual backstories seems like a winner, except the creators drop too many emotional and moralistic breadcrumbs. More disappointing, the baddies are bad from a distance, so the against-type characterization is only applied to the killers.
The law enforcement are pretty by-the-book "chalk and cheese" who will discover how much they need each other as the series unspools.
This is head above much of the competition, but seems intent on tripping itself up in the strangest ways. Worth watching if there's nothing else around.
