The second episode of the show is a huge drop off from the first. It doesn't feel like there is a long-term plan here either and they are just going to drag this thing out for awhile.

As an avid reader and watcher of mysteries, I recall reading the novel this series is based on from a few years ago. As much as I recall about the novel, so far it looks like David E Kelley and company have made a few well-placed improvements, not the least of which is the character of Jerrie as portrayed by Jesse James Keitel. This is a remarkable performance in my opinion. When you think of how much the character probably feels like an outsider and an alien in this rural Montana setting, to suddenly have to have a revelation of such personal magnitude under very extreme conditions and to have it conveyed as elegantly as it could have been conveyed brought me to tears. I have no idea how the television story will unfold from this episode, but I have to watch and see what happens next. Another nice touch in the telling of this tale was the inclusion of the Gospel song Down to the River to Pray as the episode faded-out. I may never hear that fine old song the same way again.
Awful. Zero stars.
