Strange to see James Spader with an almost shaved head, as the last thing I remember him in was the film of 'Stargate' where he had long hair!

Spader was terrific but unfortunately the rest of the cast was awful. They tried to milk the big "mystery" about Red's interest in Liz long LONG past its sell-by. I'd recommend watching the first season just for Spader, and a handful of the episodes were really good. After that I wouldn't waste any more time on it, though I stayed with it until the spinoff hoping they would offload the dead weight (mainly Liz) but when that didn't happen I gave up on it.
