Based on the first two episodes: I've waited years for this and no sooner has the series finally managed to get off the runway I feel that two of its nine engines are already struggling - and the mission to deliver a solid series worthy of standing beside Band of Brothers is veering south. The production quality delivers what one would expect from reliable veterans Spielberg and Hanks, but that's all that really shines so far. The acting seems average and meandering plot is an unimaginative tapestry of cliches with characters led by a guy who seems he was poured out of a blender that James Dean, Elvis and Nicholas Cage all got squeezed into. With seven episodes still to go, I'm hoping this is all just a wobbly start - but it's taking some heavy demand of faith.
