Rating: 2 likes, 0 dislikes After sitting through a million promos for this program during the Olympics I was actually looking forward to watching it. But after 5 minutes of viewing I was super disapointed with it. I was hoping for a good down to earth show like "Seachange" but All I got was poor casting and actors reading directly from their scripts. Michael Caton is probably the only decent actor in the bunch. Read more Review posted on Tuesday, August 26th 2008 at 7:36 pm
