Given its cast of A-list actors, I was surprised that I had never heard of this 15 year old series before. Once I began to watch, I understood why. While well-acted and produced, the tone was so consistently dark, and the plot so fuzzy, I was regularly struggling to figure out what was going on. It strove to be clever and wound up being confusing. It strove to be enlightening and wound up being depressing. It was hard to empathize with or root for the characters because it was hard to figure out who the good guys were. The real protagonist of the drama was the police state. The series took pains to show us the dangers of the surveillance state, but then offered no solution. The show wasn't terrible, but it was quite a waste of computer and medical jargon.
