It's kind of hard when you see Linda Hamilton not in an action role isn't it? At least for me it's hard seeing her in not action, but she pulls it off exceeding well. And so does Ron Pearleman who was too underrated for the majority of his career to even explain.

However, Hamilton left the role, the story did an abrupt change, and from after the first or second season it just spiraled down the hole of ineptitude.

The first season or two are great, but the show as a whole fell apart fast and turned unwatchable even faster.
