What people are saying
Updated nightlyIt's a mixed bag, but it's Javier Bardem's show. His performance as the chilling Max Cady is the main reason people are watching, even if the story itself gets slammed for being a bland retread. Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson don't fare as well in their roles as the targeted lawyers, with many finding their characters frustrating. The biggest complaint, though, is the glacial pacing, which makes the whole season feel like a slog despite the strong visuals and a few bright spots like CCH Pounder.
