    The real sin here is the way the show wastes Hunter, a terrific actress with a proven ability to make tough women compelling.

    We're left with a heap of hocus-pocus that will offend some viewers and seem pretentious or silly to others.

    Hunter seems to mostly flail in a show that is too unremarkable for her talents.

At this point, Laura San Giacomo is the most interesting and enjoyable character in the show.… Full Review »
