Initially, I was reluctant as to whether or not I wanted to watch this show but I am so glad that I finally got round to it. The pilot was a good start - the story came together well and the characters were very well played by the cast. It was a great pilot, expect one very poor green room scene (but that's a minor glitch).

As I started to watch more episodes, I began to fall in love with the show even more. Everything about it is just awesome. The music, the characters, the plot - everything. Sarah Michelle Gellar is an amazing actress and so are the rest of the brilliant cast.

If you're into thriller type stuff (with some drama and romance) then this is definitely for you. It's a great show with some real jaw dropping moments. Its' not too intense but enough to keep you wondering what the hell is going on.

Give it a chance. You'll love it.

What I love about Gellar's new series is the way it slowly evolves each episode, revealing a new layer to the rich tapestry of it's characters. Just when you think you're figuring out the motivations (and trajectory) of a character you find out something new and you're given a new perspective.

One thing this series is not is predictable. The only time I could understand the CGI criticism was during the boat scene where the two sisters (both played by Gellar) were meant to be on an open air boat hurtling across the ocean but could be heard speaking softly over a baldly rendered ocean background. Apart from that the brief CGI scenes shared by the two were flawless. Could this scene be a stylistic approach? It looks as it should, it sounds as it should, but something is 'not right'. Reality has been altered and manipulated. Then again maybe it just comes down to budgeting and time constraints but personally I would like to believe in the former.

Gellar plays the two sisters with subtlety. After all she's playing twins who share mannerisms yet are completely different people. Gellar is acting one character who's acting as another... but she pulls it off. The banter about her 'not ageing well' is rubbish. Talk about unrealistic expectations. I would like to see who's sitting behind the keyboard.

8 Stars so far.

Don't judge the show on the Pilot alone. Even though the pilot is not very good and hard to watch, trust me, it really does get better. The script improves,the characters develop a little more, there are no more horribly cheesy green screens, there are less close-ups, there is more background information, and the acting improved, especially Sarah Michelle Gellar's acting.

Plus, there is a little twist in the plot that I did not understand after viewing the pilot. So what I am saying here is don't lose hope, because if you give up due to the pilot then I feel sorry for you, you are missing out on a pretty good show.

This is absolute cracker. This show is great, smart and most important very, very underrated. My favorite shows are "Revenge", "The Americans", "Blacklist", "Hostages", "The Lying Game", and "Ringer" is beaten only by Revenge, but Revenge is something special, 72 (at this time) episodes on HIGHEST LEVEL.

Sarah play twin sisters, but she's great. After 3-4 episodes, I without any doubt known who is Bridgett and who is Siobahn. All cast GREAT, really great acting. Story is strong and this show is never slow or boring.

This review is only because, I can't believe there is NO second season. Please make second season, this show deserved that.

A fresh, suspenseful, intriguing series with myriads of superb actors and actresses in it.

A series with a wonderful script and plot keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout the episodes.

A series where Sarah Michelle Gellar shines in it and outdoes herself.

A true one-season gem where words don't do it justice.

Watch it and make your own judgement. Not only you won't be disappointed, but you would most probably join other fans in praising it, while coping with the dismay and anger of losing it.

This show deserved at least 2 seasons and a proper, stellar ending.
