Before, an interesting hook like this would've been ripe for a feature. Woman can remember anything. Nowadays, it's a television series. The hook elevates it a cut above CBS' normal procedurals. Strong performances by Dylan Walsh and Poppy Montgomery make this episode a winner. We'll see how far this hook can take the series though. Can you go five years without having the lead remember? Or, if she remembers one clue at a time, how long can you string it out?
Having the lead remember the smallest details of events can quickly grow old. The writers have their work cut out for them to keep this concept fresh. Poppy's able to quickly get the audience on her side though. She conveys vulnerablility effortlessly. I'm willing to follow her...at least for a couple more weeks.
