Aims at mind-bending but only manages mind-numbing. Common failing with shows like this.

Two realities. Two lame cases. Two therapists. One wife. One son.

Which is real ? Who is alive ? Who is dead ?

Who cares ?

And for how long ?

Outcomes are limited.

1) One of the realities is false.

2) Both are false as he lies in a hospital bed.

3) 'Purgatory' (sorry couldn't resist).

Either way, how many episodes of weak cop/family drama can you stomach while they artificially delay the big 'reveal'. The wife, son and partners are all pedestrian. Same old conflicts and issues.

Case Histories wasn't too long ago so even isaacs as brooding/mopey detective isn't new.

Battle of the therapists was interesting, just not enough.

There simply isn't a series in this story.

Wish them well.

This show is getting really interesting!

Coming from NBC, I'm surprised how good it is. LOL

Just watched the first episode. Really enjoyed it. I almost have to agree with niagarabeech above, that there may not be enough to sustain the series, but I am willing to keep watching to see what happens. If this is one of those shows where it is already mapped out, and they know what the end is, I think they have something. If it's one of those shows that they make up as they go along, they have some serious writing to do to keep up the intrigue.
