Pilot

I want to like this one but so far this show is a disappointment. I sure hope the writing and acting gets better.

If you are entertained by slow, depressing, humorless tedium, this is the show for you.

The premise of the pilot which puts the girls in the spot to be kidnapped would require them to have avoided a 20-30 minute traffic delay by taking a "shortcut" which would extend their drive time by 5-10 hours, depending on how busy Yellowstone National Park was on that day. Nobody who knows the area would do that.

Also, the stretch of highway where they were taken (between Yellowstone and Bozeman) would be more likely to be covered by local sheriffs since it's a state highway and not one of the two Interstates which pass through the western half of the state. MHP could cover that area, but unless something has changed since I lived in the area, they don't have the resources to be covering that kind of road.

Also, if I'm remembering correctly, it seemed like the parents in Helena had been thinking about just "popping by" when the kidnapped girls reached Boseman? Those two towns are 100 miles or so apart, it's not like just jumping in the car and taking a quick 10 minutes across town to visit from one to the other.

This show lost me during the pilot just from the geographic insanity. Lots of people in entertainment spend time in MT, but it seems like none were involved with this project at any level.

First episode will hook you and then you'll be upset that it's not on a streaming network where you can immediately watch the next episode. Or maybe that's just me. Either way, great start to a new series and I can't wait to watch more!

No, no taser will not knock you out cold. This stupid show really emphasizes their inability to hire consultants, researchers, or look up easy facts. No taser has ever knocked someone out cold, from the electricity. Period. This show had promise, until there were consistently stupid things like this, the always "over explainers" of acronyms, and plenty of other oddities and annoyances with "night time drama" shows. Horrible writing, obvious copy catting thriller sequences, and predictable outcomes. This show needs the cancel hammer ASAP.
