Mark Valley (a West Point grad, who if he were younger would've made a much better choice to play Captain America), Chi McBride & Jackie Earl Haley made this a great show. The chemistry between the actors was fantastic and the almost phycho Guerrero played by Haley was the real reason to watch this show. You got a feeling this character would get the job done no matter what.
The first season was great, very little of the typical leftist Hollywood storyline mantra where the bastions of the left are always the heroes and anyone associated with anything on the right are always the villains. But alas, the ratings weren't great so Fox decides to screw with it and effectually killed off the audience it DID have, instead of bringing in more viewers.
Fox insisted on adding not one, but TWO, utterly useless female characters who do nothing to further the plots other than provide 'eye candy' for the young males in the form of actress Janet Montgomery as Ames and the also annoying Indira Varma as Ilsa. If they had stuck with the characters emotional make-up as established in the first season, Guerrero would've already killed Ames for being so annoying and incompetent, and Chance and Winston would've never signed off on Isla being their "silent partner".
Add to that the typical Hollywood idea of villains creeping in this season such as the last episode I watched with the always evil 'defense contractor', and it's adios for viewers like myself.
If Hollywood would just get off their indoctrination 'high horse' and maybe allow some conservative writers for a show like this, perhaps they could carve out a niche and make some money. But in Hollywood, the propaganda is more important than the money, as evidenced by conservatives leaving the viewing audience in droves, and Hollywood standing firm in not changing their ways.
