The first episode draws you in. It's well executed and well written. Zoe Saldana is well cast and carries the role in a believable way. The show is based on the "lioness" program in the US Military and had a lot of potential.......
And then the writers apparently change - because it's the only thing that makes sense - and everything goes off the rails. Every episode forces you to suspend disbelief more and more to the point of ridiculousness. And the one dimensional portrayal of the special ops teams is terrible. Drunken bar fights and overgrown idiots running around a house shooting each other with air soft guns is just a bit too much.
And then the girl. All 90 pounds of her taking on roided out super soldiers in hand to hand and beating them down. The female leader of a seal team. And it gets worse.........she blows her cover at least 20 times but........it's girl power. Or something.
It's a shame - the show had tons of potential. The terrible writing killed it. 4 stars for Zoe and Nicole though. They gave the show some gravitas.
