The low ratings season two's episodes are getting is just ridiculous. The story has reached in a new direction, but the production value is a great as ever and Mackie eases into the role naturally. - DirectorCiaran DonnellyStarsAnthony MackieLela LorenSimone MissickAs Col.

It reaches a disappointing conclusion. Despite the excellent production value, the ultimate story is taken in a direction that I couldn't get on board with. If it is to return, I hope they return to the plot of season one.
