Expectations are high with this fast-paced, high-octane show, but this week’s installment lacks the gusto from previous weeks. C’mon guys kick it up a notch before the audience goes south. Ala THE OUTSIDERS – Do it for Larry! In a quick turn around Ann (Brenda […]Read On »

On the one hand, it cuts down on pesky exposition (kept to a minimum despite the espionage storyline); […]Read On »
