"Real time" is an interesting incantation that works so far. I like the "handheld" camera and the cut-out shots that increase the dynamics of the plot... It's hard to judge for the first episode how this thriller will develop (it obviously goes according to genre schemes, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing), but I can already say that Sutherland is sympathetic and the dubbing is overall very good (especially Trojan does a good job)... I’d like to watch the next episode, because this looks like a series with its own identity and a slightly progressive spirit... // After watching the other episodes, however, I can't help myself - other than a slightly unusual approach, this is a perfectly typical US thriller that has not attracted me through anything...
