Imagine '24' - now imagine they take out Jack Bauer and the central plot. The whole show feels like background characters doing their pointless A->B busy work.
The premise isn't wholly original, but what makes the show so weak is there is ONLY premise in the pilot. After the pilot you know everything about the 'world' the show is set in, and then it's just 10 episodes of running from A to B to find out they needed to be at C, C becomes next week's A, repeat.
The only reason this isn't a 3/10 show is John Slattery's nuanced performance. He's as watchable here as he was in Mad Men.
