They almost had me. So I'm watching, thinking "X-Files derivative, right? Seems more science focused, which is good. Female lead got down to her undies in the first episode - just like Scully did, although not as hawt (the red hair must do something for me). Did they switch the gender roles in terms of believer/disbeliever? Maybe. Seems like it could go places..."
And then they ruined it in the last 5 minutes. I turned it off, didn't even catch the ending.
Why? The monologue by Agent Supporting Character to Agent Female Lead seemed to have been scripted by an unrepentant Marxist (and the Marxists have a lot to repent for). His take on the problem with this world is that the government doesn't have enough power. Yes, in the age of the PATRIOT Act, that's their complaint. And based on the ham-handed representation of Massive Dynamics earlier in the show, you can see where this is going. Oooh, big scary corporation must be destroyed! Poor, idealistic government!
Blurg. When I hear socialism, I reach for my barf bag. And the remote control.
