There are a lot of really clever elements to this story. In the right hands, this could have been a superior film, with all the right beats, and the perfect combination of action and drama. But, not for the first time, the need to stretch out the concept for a full series -- much like stretching pizza dough to flatten the pie -- proved too big a burden for the creators. By E06 it had become painfully obvious that the show had decided to bet the farm on the audience connecting with Bruce, one of the most conflicted and unlikable characters in the history of TV. And by E07, it was clear that the writers had reached a dead-end, and decided to try mayhem and slapstick to close out the arcs. Better luck next time. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
