You take a team of US Marshalls, add a new guy so that you have an excuse to explain to him, and thus to us, how things work, and then choose your villain. In this episode, we got a guy who was pretty crazy killing witnesses as he commits crimes. His weakness, though, is kids. He doesn't feel right about hurting young girls and, it turns out, he's a father. Frankly, the best moment of the entire episode was when he decided to leave his daughter behind so that she would not get hurt. Almost sad how I felt as much pity for him in that moment as I had for his victims.
The Marshalls themselves are also pretty typical. Anne Frost (Kelli Giddish) is the tough female who had a rough upbringing with no mom and a criminal dad. Her partner, Jimmy (Cole Hauser) clearly has difficulty staying in relationships, and the new guy, Luke (Jesse Metcalfe), is so green that he escorted the fugitive to safety.
That is what you are going to get. These fairly stereotypical law enforcement agents pursuing criminals who are, hopefully, a bit rougher and a bit more violent and ruthless than on other cop shows. Should easily be episodic enough that if you are bored and the show is on, you can enjoy regardless of how many other episodes you've seen. So, not really worth the effort to watch every week, but not a complete waste of time either.
