    I thoroughly enjoyed season 1. A group of young undercover agents who do a terrific job fighting crime. Episodes are suspenseful and plots interesting and evolve throughout the season. In season 2, all that skill goes to hell and they can't seem to tie their own shoes laces without screwing it up. The characters who in season 1 were intelligent,courageous and highly skilled have somehow become stupid imbeciles who look like rookies and have seemingly lost many of those skills and act in defeatist ways in season 2. And with each passing episode the characters get more and more inept, emotionally stunted and incapable of carrying out simple tasks successfully. One character who was a star in season 1 seems to become fixated on one thing and looks more and more paranoid and fixated with each passing episode. It's like she had a dual personality; a competent one is season 1 and an emotionally stunted paranoid one in season 2. I'll watch season 3 just to see if any of these people regain some of the skills they seemed to no longer have in season 2. I wonder if the writers wrote season 2 while using some of the cartel's drugs they wrote about in this series as it is a very unrealistic portrayal of how characters can evolve from one season to the next. One final thing. A protagonist in season 2 who in the real world would have been arrested for having $20 million in safety deposit boxes on a $50K/year salary isn't even investigated and is single handedly capable of brining an entire FBI operation down. Further, why are there no alarms or cameras in Graceland for filming any break-ins if it is such a high risk secret safe house. The protagonist can break in with a pick and basically is able to reveal the entire secret group of undercover agents. This just doesn't make sense. This is one of many huge gaps in common sense in the plot of season 2.

    I think the show has definitely improved from the first few episodes. I thought that the first 2 or so episodes were very weak and the characters were boring and had no layers but I stuck around because I thought it might get better and I'm glad I did. The characters have much more depth now and the show has gotten less hokey. Although I do think it all may seem a bit unrealistic (not the fact that they all live together but what's been happening) its entertaining and always keeps me guessing and on the edge of my seat. I feel like they try to cram to much into each episode though. But overall it's enjoyable and the acting and the show itself have gotten much better.

    For those of you with bad reviews....is there anything in your life that you find pleasing???? I'm thinking there is just no pleasing you because this show is VERY good....love Daniel Sunjata from "Rescue Me", very handsome and seductive....plays this role well. I've watched every show and I still can't tell if his character is a good guy playing a bad guy or a bad guy playing a good guy...all very intense and teasing. I usually just DVR my shows and play them later but I count the minutes until this one is on Thursdays and watch it live.... I do agree that you need to watch more than just the pilot to see how the characters relate to each other and how the plot continues to thicken. I challenge anyone to guarantee who the bad guys are and who the good guys are so far this season...

    This show is terrible. Don't waste your time. It was so bad.In just a few minutes there was so many clichés, the acting was sub-par, and the story has been done a million times. Also, I felt like the show was more about how hot the male actors were than the actual storyline. One character in particular I don't believe even owned a shirt. Then you have the cliché of partners being in a relationship (how boring), and then the new guy coming in to replace him (yeah that hasn't been done before), and then he has to get shown the ropes from the goof-ball (wait, have I seen this before?), and last but not least the leader of the group is going through some mental anguish that he has to overcome (c'mon now really?). The writing is so obvious it's not even funny. I expect more from a USA show having become a fan of Monk, Psych, Burn Notice, but this show just falls flat. I normally give a new show a few episodes before I determine if I'm going to watch it any longer, but this one only lasted 20 minutes. First show that I've ever given up on that quickly. Please don't waste your time.
