Eleventh Hour wrapped up its first season all the way back on the second of April and I admit I’m just getting around to watching this. Not only have I been busy, but Eleventh Hour has taken a back seat in general to other shows, some of which I review and some of which I don’t.
I’m going to be upfront right from the start by stating the season finale was a decent way to end the season, but it wasn’t the big bang I was expecting. The story generally wasn’t something I felt was finale-quality.
Rufus Sewell as Dr. Jacob Hood
The story, by the way, was about a young woman who claimed her boss had stolen her baby, was keeping it from her, and is having her treated like a mental patient. Of course she was telling the truth. I had no doubt about it. Dr. Hood seemed to agree but had to walk a fine line as to what he said and to whom since her boss was a big-shot in the FBI.
Rachel being shot by the crossbow was an interesting touch. Still, it would make it very difficult to get her around, even into the truck to get her to the hotel room in the first place. The crossbow bolt (arrow) was fairly long and would make it difficult to get into a truck.
There are really only two things about “Medea” that I would say made this “finale-worthy” and those are Hood was on his own and the FBI director backed Hood when it looked like he may not have been on the same side as the FBI.
I haven’t paid much attention to the buzz about this show, as it pertains to whether or not it will be renewed for a second season. I would like to see it renewed for the simple reason that this show is different in one very key aspect: the writers actually make the victims-of-the-week interesting. So many shows do a poor job of character development that it’s hard to care for them one way or another. Eleventh Hour generally does a terrific job in that area.
