    I haven't watched this week's episode, but I think this show has already jumped the shark when that red head got away with the kid last week.

    Is Kevin Bacon still like ten steps behind what the guy in prison is doing and is orchestrating?

    I guess that is why I quit watching. How many times can you watch Kevin Bacon get played? I'm assuming he has had at least one win somewhere along the way by now but I would not know.

    Show is entertaining but can't invest in it because of the ridiculousness of the way things work for the bad guy. They have people in whatever organization they need, their threats always work, they have unlimited resources, geniuses, etc.

    Agreed, after a few episodes I pretty much determined they weren't going to work in any semblance of reality. Even with that understanding it gets hard to ignore some of the more glaring issues.

    Yeah, I've decided that you just have to accept it on the level you'd think of COBRA in GI Joe.

    It's a cool show for some of the mental stuff. It's on the DVR but is not a must watch. When the warden let the serial killer get away it was just too much for me. When he ends up having helicopters and all this property and dozens of followers with many being people that visited in jail...I just laughed.

    I was beginning to wonder if they just turned the visiting room into his cell

    In the last episode they had one of his followers visiting him and they were discussing all kinds of nefarious stuff with a guard a few feet away....

    what did you guys think of season 1?

    there were so many, what i assume were supposed to be major, deaths in the show I didn't care when some one died.

    I have really enjoyed it. Can't wait for season 2. It got renewed a while back.

    I enjoyed the season. I'm kind of conflicted because I think it might have been best if it only went one season and told a complete story. Even before the finale, I thought about how I didn't want another season of Ryan chasing Joe or his cult followers. How he couldn't really chase someone else because he had all this motivation specifically geared towards Joe that he wouldn't have somewhere else. That having someone else chase them would be similarly hollow. I'll have to wait and see what they do, but if it's Ryan v. remaining cult members, I'll be disappointed because it'll just be more of the same. Even less so if Joe really is dead.

    I don't know. It just seems to me like there was a complete story and extending it dilutes the whole thing and it could get boring. I would've been fine with it only being one season.
