Review
I have very mixed feelings about the first season of this show. The violence was excessive and unneeded, though not overly graphic. The sexual content was far beyond what my conscience allowed. Most of all, the distinction between good and evil was highly questionable. The story showed the main character, the good guy, doing many illegal things, and breaking many ethical rules that I've established for myself. Overall, his end goal was very, very good, but I did not appreciate how he reached that goal.

Typically violence is not a concern for me, but in this case, it was too much. When violence is necessary for a plot, I'm okay with it, but in this case, it was there just to tr and make the film more entertaining. In doing so, I ended up enjoying it less. There were so many violent scenes that could have been removed, and the plot preserved. Yet they were still there in excess, which really made it hard for me to watch in good conscience.

The largest problem, however, was with the sexual content. The season is filled with suggestive ideas, ranging everywhere from rape to what is essentially nothing more than prostitution. Very few of the characters have any self control, and while nothing is shown, the series displays no hesitation in portraying the ideas. The worst part is, just as with the violence, this sexual content has no purpose in the plot at all. It almost just appears as if it is there the ensure that the film is rated "TV-14".

The story is somewhat positive, which is why I watched as much as I did. The main character is a federal agent who must protect a presidential candidate from an assassination. The timing is well, everything flows fairly smoothly, and it's generally a high quality show.

Overall, I cannot recommend this show for anyone, especially if you're under the age of 16. I feel like TV-MA would be a much more suitable rating than TV-14, and I was constantly surprised by how bad the content became as the show progressed. In light of the other more appropriate shows available, this is not something I'm able to suggest anyone watches. - Drew1200
