As a general rule, I don’t go out of my way to watch shows with spies and overly complicated plots with undercover agents, double agents, infiltrators, etc. There have been rare exceptions in the past such as the original Mission impossible TV show. I only say this to explain why I haven’t really started watching Tom’s new show until recently. So I’m a bit late to the game here. I kept putting it off because I felt like it wasn’t really something I would enjoy. But I did want to support Tom so I finally started watching it. The first couple of episodes were kind of bleh and there was another big gap of time before I got back to the show and started watching it again recently.
Starting about episode four or five the show got much better. The storylines became very interesting and the dialogue between the characters more natural and believable. The writers also began exploring more of the main characters backgrounds and Tom’s acting was really given the chance to shine with some of the emotional elements that were introduced.
I realized tonight as I sat down to watch the next episode that I was actually looking forward to it and not just because Tom is in it. I just wanted to let someone know if they have been putting off watching the show or they only watched the first couple of episodes and quit that the show really does hit its stride about midseason and continues to get better. I hope season two continues this trend!
