The Enemy Within

It's really an amazing series!! I'm so excited to see the second season not only for my personal mind but I guess for everyone. They have so much to tell! Congratulations! It's really an amazing show even if I'm watching different styles but this one has captured me for different reasons! It's more than a psychological great tv series. Congrats for the cast and the director!

Yes, we've seen this plot before, but, nevertheless, entertaining. Jennifer Carpenter is terrific in lead role. Maybe I have a low bar when it comes to tv shows so that's why the low ratings surprise me. Acting is decent, writing is decent and storyline is decent. I do like shows like this: Blacklist, Blind Spot, etc. They are in no way stand out tv shows, but for me, they are an hour of fun entertainment and sometimes that's all I need

I only came to this recently so obviously the opportunity for a 2nd season has come and gone; there can only be one Blacklist it would seem. The Blacklist comparison is obvious; notorious traitor recruited to elite FBI unit, said traitor makes connection with FBI team, dark forces are at work, etc, etc. In one way the similarity is a curse, Jennifer Carpenter does a solid job as disgraced CIA chief Shepherd but she is no James Spader and the bar he set can never be attained. In other ways the show is no better or worse than many other procedurals of its type, including Blacklist, there are some solid episodes and only one really weak episode, the last, although this probably has more to do with wrapping up a show that wasn't coming back. The support cast are generic and generally weak, just like Blacklist, although Raza Jaffrey does stand out, but everything else is solid enough. I was glad I gave it a go and would recommend it to those who like espionage procedurals with a decent amount of jeopardy.

The concept and some of the acting results in so much potential. Character development is weak and the pace is quickened by old plot twists and expected...almost purposeful forced drama that patronizes the viewer. I hope it gets better since many of the actors are very good.

I'm watching this and this feels a lot like The Blacklist. Anyone agreed?
