This show and “Will Trent” ought to be on back to back; they both feature unusually perceptive men who are dealing with deep personal trauma born of events from decades past. Each man comes across as likeable, with Jesse L. Martin’s “Alec Mercer” having a bit of an edge there (but Robert Rodriguez’ “Will Trent” is catching up over the episodes of his show IMO). Both men are surrounded by coworkers and friends who realize their genius and let them run with their theories, for the most part.
Episode 1 covered quite a bit of exposition and backstory through dialogue and flashbacks, so we learned a lot right away, with a promise of some additional mystery as the main characters make sense of a developing larger picture. So far, so good. I’ll watch.
Now if only someone will bring back “Poker Face.” That one was great!
I hadn’t thought of that, but you might be onto something. I like what I’ve seen thus far. Now off to watch the 2nd episode of The Continental…
