Backfire

I like the character Hannah, but Maggie Q is such an underachieving actress. The character objective driven and straightforward, but Maggie Q is just so boring. No emotions, no inflections, no passion, nothing. I don't think she is a good actress. They need a better actress for this character.

Rob Morrow is great at playing smug, slimy characters in power roles. He does a great job as a journalist, writing for a teen magazine, getting down and dirty. The White House works to discredit him due to his shaky past. Meanwhile, the work goes on to fill cabinet positions--most importantly, Secretary of State. Kirkman balks a bit at a former one term President trying to influence things. Obviously, everyone has his or her agenda. Also, the family stuff gets a little tiresome. It was heart rending to see the poor FBI guy in his current state after the death of his son. He seemed to have lost hope.
