Rose is the one who's making the connections, she discovers who may be pulling the strings, but the realisation is a terrifying one. Maddie contrives a way to spend some time with her art lecturer.

They have definitely gotten away with implying that things could kick off, nothing much really happened, here though, things did move up a couple of gears.

Very bleak, there was a very dark tone throughout, don't expect any laughs or lighter moments, this was heavy going. Reminded me a little of 24.

This was quite an exciting episode, lots of stuff happening, some pretty shocking twists and a good amount of action. One big twist in particular, which is definitely helping to pull all of the random loose strands together.

One thing that did strike me though, why is it Rose who's putting the pieces together, she's mixed up with all manner of agents and intelligence, but she's the one who's putting the pieces together.

Chelsea, yay or nay, interesting to find out.

8/10.

This young woman has no respect for her role and has now gotten herself in huge trouble. She has slipped from the only people who could protect her and hooked up with the art teacher. This subplot is starting to seem major. The young secret service agent is going to have a lot to explain because she has been duped. Meanwhile, Rose and Peter have been looked at more closely, especially by the FBI. The President doesn't have enough evidence to go along with what is happening. This episode is a little better because it focuses on the action. Once again, however, it's hard to accentuate the positive.

Even though I liked the first couple of episodes, I couldn't help but notice some poor writing choices here and there. This fifth episode is not perfect either, but I'm genuinely surprised that the characters and their arcs are actually interesting (yes, same goes for Ellen and Dave). I didn't expect that when I watched the pilot. This show is a great binge and thankfully it's not too short. The episode length is perfect and there's enough time to build characters and tension. So far, this little show is a welcome surprise and I'm really enjoying myself with it! Hopefully the rest of the season won't disappoint.

Why is every scene that takes place indoors always so dark? Doesn't make sense. Since most of the cast is dark skinned it makes it even worse. Why must everything be so dark all the time. Surprised people aren't bumping into walls and falling down.

Also, to bad the acting is below par. Couldn't the producers find better actors? Another confusing factor is at one point someone says "You;d better sit down to hear this". Then the scene ends. What was it she said to have them sit down. Seems like padding the plot. This could have been a fairly good two hour movie, but this is so drawn out its ridiculous. And what's with the two hit people. The man and woman. They are so stupid and vapid.
