I think that this show started off pretty good. I got hooked really quickly and waited eagerly for the next episode. This happened till little before half-season. From that point everything started to become really far-fetched. Things began happening too fast and everything became abrupt and out of the blue. It was evident that they wanted to rush things to make them fit into those 13 episodes.
So the second half of the season was kind of silly and I kept wondering how worse it could get. Surprisingly, I did like the ending. Sure, they didn't explain anything, and honestly, I'm happy they didn't because I think it would have been as dumb as the last episodes were (I bet I am not the only one that laughed when the night manager's head exploded)
I think that this show's main flaws were: - Half-cooked ideas: As I said, the show had potential, but it seems that they took it out of the oven a couple of minutes before it was done. - Some bad actors: I don't know the actors' and actresses' real names, but I think that the best ones were Joe (he's a good actor, I remember him from Third Wave), Janet, Blackham, Charlie and the night managers. The rest where kind of bad and overacted on certain scenes - Lack of consistency: if they where all held captive and they had already realized that there were cameras and microphones everywhere, why did they make all their strategies and plans out loud?! That was the dumbest thing of the show in my opinion, specially when they had a trained US soldier among them...
In conclusion, I think that they could get away with another season (if they decide to continue this and not make it a mini-series), but they will have to work hard on a more consistent script. Also they gotta get rid of the bad actors/actresses.
