I borrowed this 13-part DVD from our local library without a clue as to what I was going to watch. I gotta tell ya - I was hooked in the first 'Pilot' chapter and then a bit more so in the next 'What If They Run' episode. I soon realized that I was going to be reliving the day along with Det. Hopper (a very competent Taye Diggs), and would be discovering new clues as each day progressed.
And progress nicely they did, albeit in a somewhat quirky manner. Hopper has one person he can always trust in - his partner, Det. Andrea Battle (ably played by Victoria Pratt), but most of his other relationships are suspect at one time or another. That includes his paramour, Rita Shelton (Moon Bloodgood).
The plot is just plain weird - Det. Hopper has been accused of a murder but has an inked-in-blood alibi. Realizing he's being framed, he runs until the end of the day, only to wake and begin the same day all over again, meanwhile adding to his total understanding of the case against him.
Along the way he has a whole gaggle of people either chasing him or trying to put him away (kill him) or wanting to torture the guy ... sheesh, it's like he can't seem to catch a break, ya know?
I wouldn't want to sit through all 13 episodes in one sitting, but spread out over 5 or 6 nights makes for an engrossing experience.
And I suppose I can give it my 'thumbs up.' Yup, I'd watch it again.
I also must admit to enjoying watching Moon Bloodgood walk around in her underwear at the beginning of each episode but I suppose that's just a 'guy' thing...
