... a different country had a stereotypical view of what America law enforcement is all about.

Imagine how they would portray the characters as mavericks, cowboys, rogue operators...

Imagine the scriptwriters picked the cheesiest lines to include in the screenplay.

Imagine the director learned about America from other people who hated America.

Imagine there's a small budget for everything.

This show had a great premise and it was failed by the dreadful scripts, the wooden acting (Mr Dingle-Wall especially), the ineptitude of the FBI characters and so much more.

The most believable character is young Lauren Gravitt playing Anna Scott, the main character's preteen daughter. She did something the adults could not - she acted.

Channing Tatum was looking for a dreadful TV series for a project which eventually became 'Comrade Detective'. He couldn't find one and shot his own. He should have waited and used Cypher.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe during Cypher.

I cannot believe they are already in talks for a second season of this drivel.

Definitely one to avoid, regardless of how desperate you are or how drunk you find yourself.

This has all the elements of a student made assignment for a minor Motion Pictures class.

The acting is wooden, the SFX are ludicrous, the sound mixing is dreadful, some scenes were out of focus, the lighting is poor, the audio has a hollow echo to it. Dialogue is overwhelmed by the incidental music in places.

The theme music and incidental music are discordant but not in a good way. Loud and abrasive on the ears.

Based on this first episode, I'll be giving the rest of the episodes a miss.

Only two epodes released so far. One in September, one in December. It's ringing alarm bells that it's not all it claims to be.
