    This show may be to one's liking - or may be not, it's a matter of personal preference. I liked the show, that's why I persevered watching it, week by week - all 13 eps. Few weeks ago it became known that the series are being cancelled after the first season - ratings were not that great, but it was not the deciding factor (as everybody knows by now, CBS made the call right after sexual harassment allegations were made against the star of the show, Jeremy Piven). What I want to communicate in this review (one may call it a rant) - if you have not started watching the series - don't bother. There was no conclusion, no closing of any kind - total disrespect for viewers (I understand that 7.4 mln people were watching it, on average, in US only). The series revolves about the murder of Mia, a multi-billionaire's daughter - who's focus in life becomes to find her killer. His team is edging closer to get the answer, bit by bit - one may expect this will come to the fruition by the end of the season. Alas, we come away empty handed. The last episode (S01E13) is just another "monster of the week" story, with main theme (Mia's killer) almost completely ignored and left open-ended. It is such a disappointment, you feel cheated and disrespected. It's hard, in this situation, to rate the series objectively - but I know that I want to rate CBS 0/10 - this is not the first time they've done it, actually.

    The Circle had a lot of interesting ideas on the negatives of social media and this one... Well they don't go by the definition of wisdom that is experience and intelligence - they go by society knowledge. Get enough people looking at something and you'll get lucky.I love ideas, I love original. I hate when ideas are forced on people. Propaganda from Hollywood is getting real old real fast. And this one...well if you haven't been brainwashed yet, the crap they throw gets old real quick. Pure liberal fantasy.

    Sadly, this show could have been great with just a few but important tweaks. Since they decided to push unrelated far left propaganda into the plot, all went south.Diversity is artificially present in the cast and in the script. Women, gays and muslims are always "saving the day", nothing against those mentioned but is so randomly played that is pathetic.This missing opportunity, the rabid leftist indoctrination, poor casting and writing make me quit before the season (and probably the show itself) ends.I was hoping for a better show, but well I will look forward to other works of Piven,Potter or Cowen.

    Was a bit curious to see what the show would entail. The first episode interested me enough to watch it again. However, by the 4th episode, it has become clear that this is a VERY left leaning show and this episode (anyone who isn't a democrat is a neo-nazi) clearly demonstrated dragging everyone through the mud that doesn't support them. I won't be watching again. What started out as a desperate father searching for truth, has become a one-sided, politically motivated series. The strange thing is, once that is done, you can probably expect half the viewer base to disappear. Strange they would take that risk. The 'acting', if you call it that, is fair at best. The cast seemed so ready to jump in with their 'anti-right' views that it clearly indicated it was more personal than professional. I can't see it being renewed, but hey, this is 'Hollywood'...right?
