***May Contain Spoilers*** Though in reality I don't know what else could spoil this show more. I wish I knew whether the problem was the writing or the directing, but something is terribly wrong with this show. So, much takes place that we're just supposed to accept. Understand, the main characters, Bo (a little girl with 'special powers) and Tate (a man wrongly convicted of murder) are on the run with nothing ... no money. OK, I'm sure someone will be extra 'picky' and say they had money ... yah, but it was like only $20 or $40. Tate had left a duffel bag full of thousands of dollars behind in the 'pilot' episode. Really? And, even if he did leave it behind, once they got away from the 'bad girl' they could have gone back for it. And, from the the writing of Tate's 'character' I'm sure he would have! Yet, magically whenever they need money ... it's there. They buy bus tickets, train tickets ... kinda like the gun that never runs out of bullets. Their pictures are posted everywhere via an 'Amber Alert', so they hide in a bathroom where Tate 'magically' has electric hair clippers and shaves off his hair. Where'd they come from? What!? When they were getting ready to run and grabbed some clothes, Tate made sure he had his hair clippers? Bo has major kinetic powers ... she can move cars, but when the 'bad guy' grabs her she does nothing. In her words, "I was scared." Again ... REALLY? Tate is laying on the ground with fuel all around him ... and again, she does nothing to help him? I can go on, but what's the point. The plot isn't bad, therefore, the show 'could' be good ... but, we need the writers/director to pay a little more attention to 'believe ... able' detail, and not take us, the watchers, as being so ignorant there's no way we wouldn't BELIEVE these inconsistencies!
