US: Stalker

I had high hopes for this one as i'm a fan of Maggie Q (who isn't?) but the first episode fell flat for me. The concept is great, Dylan and Maggie are great cast members... but i just couldn't get into it and can see it ending up a forgettable show, i can't quite put my finger on why.

It got such bad reviews that I would be surprised if we saw all four episodes made to date before it is pulled.

From the trailer it looks pretty good, will be keeping an eye one it.

she parked on a hill and simply took the parking brake off and rolled.

I'm quite liking it so far, maggie q is pretty hot but i hope they avoid the usual pitfalls of these kinds of shows - one of the main cop's is a tortured hero who after taking a bullet for some innocent civilian, bravely struggles on, drinking and sleeping less and less but never seeking help because that shows weakness etc etc.

I think it's off to a decent start.

Oooo *facepalm* it's the music building up not the car engine reversing

i quite liked it so that probably means it will get canned

After watching nikita...... it just feels wrong

The show is interesting but its just a scream tv series and this could get boring really quick.

Props for maggie q jumping back into a tv series but I would have perhaps preferred both the male and female leads to be perhaps reversed cos the guy lead has a good character while the female lead in maggie is just nikita under detective role. Not sure its going to work or last long.

I'll be giving it a go as it has the Maggie Q criteria filled.

liking this quite a bit now.

they seem to be switching out the 'stalky' parts so it's not always some loner guy going after the victim of the episode, also the developments with

maggie Q's friend and the stalker using her to find out all about 'beth' is interesting. A bit puzzled they seem to have quickly dropped the thing with the DA and the cop from new york but still, it's decent

it's never going to light the air on fire but I think it's pretty solid, thumbs up.

Its got slightly better like mentioned in above spoiler its not so stalkerish each week but jazzed up a bit I watch it merely as background noise though.
