The Thing in the Hole

So did not actually get to the end of the first episode it was so poor. At 50 minutes in I had, had enough, this was an opportunity missed. They had obviously spent some money on the production but was anyone really paying attention? We all know we have to suspend or beliefs at sometimes with programs like this but really? Police detective turns up so examine a body found in a mine and brings with him a lighter.... really? The fact that they had ten minutes earlier sent a worker down with a dodgy torch was bad enough but they then had her send him down with just a lighter, stupid and no reason for it. Could have been real and sent them with adequate lighting, just took away from the immersion very poor error.

As far as pilots go, this wasn't terrible. The acting was a bit stiff and a lot of characters were introduced with little backstory. While the story was slow, it was at least interesting. I'll keep watching.
