    No, but it has to be more than just grab a tried and true plot that's been used for 30+ years and write new dialogue around it.


    I mean, these stories could have been on Hawaii Five-O or Mission Impossible back in the 70's.

    As I said, at least the Quantico concept made the show unique. Now it's just like any other procedural on TV. Interchangeable. And none of the actors have enough charisma to make someone want to watch this over any of the others. Hence, cancelled.

        I see.

        The last episode I enjoyed very much. Never saw the story before. I guess I appreciate nuance and derivatives more than most.

          You've never seen a plot where the bad guy takes someone close to one of the heroes and uses that as leverage against them to get what he wants? Even the misdirection where they only end up with the truck full of girls(or whatever) has been done a million times.

          And then, our hero faces the big dilemma. Do they arrest the bad guy, or kill them in revenge for the evil perpetrated against them? Of course, good triumphs in the end, only to have the bad guy go for the good guy's weapon so our hero has no choice but to kill them.

          Please. That's derivative of derivatives.

            Other channels: anywhere from Red Robin to Manny's.
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              I think that’s why game of thrones is so jarring and amazing. Their universe doesn’t reward good behavior and it sadistically punishes naïveté.

                Same with Breaking Bad, Sons, Wire...it's part of what rejuvenated pro wrestling when they had Stone Cold and such. The anti-heroes are rewarded. They are not good people, but you root for them.

                            And per Stone Cold, idiot guy stumbles into success in spite of himself.

                              Pretty much. I mean, with Sons, Tig became a fave character, and he was the most degenerate of them all! There was a shirt that said "Tig Is My Moral Compass." SO many ways of wrong.

                                Dark Tourist on Netflix is interesting. I haven’t seen them all yet but so far the Medellin episode with the Escobar stuff was the most interesting
