重获新生 第一季影评：A major disappointment for Damian Lewis fans
The big question is: after "Band of Brothers" and the great yet lesser-known gem of a film, "Keane", why would Damian Lewis want to embarass himself this way?
Damian Lewis is the reason I looked into this show, against gloomy forebodings brought to me by the plot summary. He turns out to be......vacuous. The show's "Zen" suggestion is not really there in the writing, which must have put together perhaps half an hour after the writers woke up from two weeks of drunken binge and suddenly realized the deadline was up. You cannot expect Lewis to off-handedly pull a kicking rabbit out of his hat, given dead lines like "Oh really? You think I think we all know life is a dream".
If I have to say something nice about the show: OK, thanks for not inserting a gratuitous love interest between "Crews" and Detective Reese". That's one cliches fewer than it could have been. But, hey, the show is still young.
