Show actually isn't bad, but the writing....

Really, the writing is awful. I'm watching the second episode now. He crashes through the wall and asks if someone asked for an Uber?? Really? Yikes. Also, I really could do without the cheesy dialogue when talking about their respective broken hearts. No one is watching to see these two guys mope over women. Action, science and cleverness please, not the cheese.

Hot guys + dark subject matter + plenty of violence = watchable television.

Hold your tongue, George Eads can go to tears on my TV screen any time he wants! 

And watch yourself in wanting 'action'. There is a faction on this board that doesn't think the action has a place in this show.  (The "MacGyver" I remember had plenty of action but they don't see it that way.)

How could anyone NOT want action in a tv series???!!! Lol

I've been rewatching the original series the last few weeks, and I always remembered there being action, but in reality there isn't a whole lot, and what little there is looks really wooden.
