The CW swings and misses on this series. The episode is flat right from the jump. Sarah Michelle Geller just can't seem to get it in gear. The plot flounders. We have a twin sister, a killer on the loose, an unplanned pregnancy, adultery, a murder in self-defense and a twisted, ingenious escape plan. With all that going on, the show still manages to be boring. Quite an accomplishment.
The problem is the lead and her contrived situation. Both Geller and the plotting hit one false note after another. Never once do we feel she's in imminent danger even though she's supposed to be. Never once do we think her ruse will unravel even though it should.
Can't see this series lasting an entire season.
