Alcatraz has created a lot of buzz in the last month as the newest crime drama on the Fox network. But after seeing what Alcatraz has to offer, A question arises of whether or not my 9-10pm time slot on Monday night's is being wasted.
The first few episodes drew me in, and i thought for sure this would be my new favorite. But after the last 3 weeks there has been a lot of redundancy in the overall plot. It is getting to the point where the only things that change is the fashion in which innocent civilians die. The beginning is the easy determination of which inmate is on the loose, the middle is the missed opportunity to catch him, and the end is a toe to toe square off with the inmate. Ultimately the bad guy dies or gets locked up.
But hang on here, we still have no idea why these Alcatraz inmates are still alive and haven't aged a bit in fifty years. For that reason alone I will continue to watch this show, and hopefully find an originality that will dictate the future of this Fox series. It is not yet time to pull the plug on this superficial crime drama. But as for now the grade will remain worthy of average.
Grade: C- (70%)
