Currently checking out the failed Chris Carter series. I'm surprised three episodes aired in its original run. It shouldn't have gotten past the pilot stage.
For starters, the military setting is a complete turn-off.
Second, Scott Bairstow is not a lead. It's a chore just watching him in his scenes.
Third, the ambitious plot is too much for the production budget. If you're going to create a Matrix-like storyline, you need eye-popping visuals.
Story's about a soldier placed in a virtual-reality game called Harsh Realm. His mission: capture Santiago who's taken over the game and made this war simulation his own.
Judging from this pilot, this is not material conducive to a weekly tv series.
