Review of The Watchful Eye

This show had potential, but it's too slow for the characters. A show with mediocre characters needs to move along to make up for them. If a story is going to unfold slowly or has a narrow premise, then the characters need to be especially interesting. This show has a narrow premise, a turtle story and mediocre characters. Not a good combination. I made it into episode four, at which point I was too bored to continue. Perhaps if Amy Acker had a bigger role because I usually enjoy her work. Or Aliyah Royale. I'm not familiar with her work, but I liked her character in this show. I thought Lex Lumpkin did a good job with his small role, but none of the other male characters were at all interesting. In short, slow story plus mediocre characters equals I'm not wasting my time.
