We watched this wretched movie because Jeanne Triplehorn and Dylan McDermott were in it. When the movie ended, all I could think about was that I would never be able to get back the two hours that I wasted on it. Triplehorn tried her best but her earnestness somehow just made things worse. My trying to like it didn't work. I feel sorry for the actors whose agents talked them into being in it. A boring story, badly written, with no direction, and so memorably bad that we still laugh about it years later. If this clunker didn't kill off the dinosaurs, it definitely killed Triplehorn's career. It made me wish that I were at the dentist having a tooth drilled. A 4.8 rating is being more than generous for this rambling, embarrassing waste of film. Save yourselves!!

The eight episodes should have been edited down to six. It drags out. Also needed a story editor-lots of extraneous scenes and superfluous side stories (especially in Season 2). A character from Season 1 is trotted out in Season 3 on a flimsy premise. Miller's and Wright's 1-dimensional characters are straight out of Central Casting. Ryan's facial expression never changes. Worst of all, many episodes are so dimly lit, you cannot tell what is going on. I love a good espionage thriller but found Season 2 hard to care about, and Season 3 hard to follow. C'mon, Tom Clancy... as the Executive Producer, you can do better.

Keeps you guessing, and everything ties up neatly in the end. A brilliant homage to the classic "Rear Window," with lots of humor too. Thoroughly enjoyable!
