With the exception of TELL ME A STORY Season One (a rare overacting misstep), lead actor, James Wolk, has been a small-screen treasure in everything he's done to date. Hence, a score of 10 goes to him and the other highly affable cast members. On the other hand, the pilot episode of this series revealed unacceptable, implausible flaws in all 3 storylines. That aside, I found the first quarter of the episode both interesting and inspiring; the remainder of the episode was mostly dull and boring, albeit no fault of the actors. I'm sorry for this fine ensemble of talent, because I simply cannot foresee this series lasting long. Let's hope Wolk soon fines a much better vehicle to showcase his skills, because he deserves that.
