Wow, what a trainwreck. Didn't even realize this should have been NBC's next "big one", before reading some comments and reviews. At first I thought they might be cross-promoting something from Comcast's basic cable channels, like USA. But no, those shows tend to have far better casting and acting; and partially even writing. But good news for all Millennials: now you can join the NYPD, even if you're unqualified and unmotivated. My highlight is Daryl Edwards' portrayal of the smirky, resignated actor - um, sorry meant to write NSA Director - who perfectly delivers a very deep message in each scene, without even speaking: "Oh man, in what kind of a silly production have I ended up? I really need to speak with my agent... or consider a new representation. No, Daryl, no, don't start laughing hysterically mid-scene, 13 episodes still pay the mortgage, with a back-nine, you're really good."
In fact, this might be the single most important aspect of the whole production: Crew & Cast will make a few bucks off, of it. Otherwise it's extremely unoriginal, dull, generally very slow paced (don't explain intention before and after each scene), and almost painfully boring, thanks to acting and writing (sorry, you can't fix "everything" in post-production). Good luck, folks
