Usually NBC is the network that serves up those half-baked remakes of great foreign shows.
This time, it's CBS that take a promising concept and makes it into a mess.
First, the writing is apocalyptically awful, the show almost plays like a spoof of itself.
The first scene has a Police Officer not only touch a container marked "Bio-Hazard" that was dumped by a suspect, but opens it and then sniffs it!! And it was supposed to be serious.
The other problem this show has is Marley Shelton. She is indescribably awful. She takes he few good scenes that the script had (the ones with humor) and stomps on them with her bad, full of grimaces, acting.
Rufus Sewell looks like he's about to fall into a coma at any time and shows none of the humor he is capable of.
In short: what were they thinking?
