I don't care about any other character on the show but I just can't not watch James Spader. He's terrific.

Her character is annoying - oooh, I'm a brand new FBI agent who knows more about computers and self-defense and guns and case histories than anyone else in the Agency. What makes her more annoying is that the actress can't even do a good job playing this self-centered twit...though at least the wig that looked like a dead animal is gone this season.

James Spader, the things I do for you

Though, in many, that would raise their game.

BTW, she was raised in the Villages in Florida. Right-wing retirement commune.

I don't really mind her as much as I used to and the rest of the cast are competent. But, in the end, it's all about watching Spader masticating on the scenery.

But she's a terrible actress. And the show is completely ridiculous. It is 1960s Batman stupid without the self-aware campy humor. I had to give up after five episodes.

I couldn't not watch James Spader. Then I saw the pilot of that show. I hated it on so many levels even spader couldn't make up for it. So it's back the "sex, lies and videtape." Or "White Palace."

James Spader and William Shatner (yes, really) are both excellent in it.

...she says in a scene.
She was a large part of why "Law and Order: Los Angeles" died an early death. That "Valentine" movie she made was all the worse with her being in it.

She reminds me of some phony-ass popular singer...."All Show & No Go"
