I hate Dylan McDermott's character, He's supposed to be part of the stalker squad but he's stalking his ex-lover because he thinks her child is his. There are plenty of legal things he could do to see his son, stalking is not the answer given what he does for a living. Between that and his characterization, he doesn't (to me) have a whole lot of redeeming qualities.
I like Maggie Q and have ever since I saw her in the Die Hard movie. I was glad to see she got a lead role like this one. My problem has to do with the writers. She supposedly has been stalked before herself, and yet she lives in a home with see-through curtains; waits to close the curtains the first time we see her in her house until after she's gotten ready for bed; the window locks are child's play and the chain on the door is an absolute joke. I've never been stalked and I take more precautions. I know she's a cop with a gun and can handle herself, but if she's gripping a chair with her nails while listening to a stalking report, she's not over it and she's not going to live in a place she can't button up and black out peepers.
Over all the show is one I'm willing to give at least another episode or two. Handled right, it could be the next Criminal Minds - but Dylan's character has to be overhauled. He's no Thomas Gibson.
