Somewhere in Southern California, in a drug raid run by the US government, a beachfront property was seized and turned into a residence for undercover cops. They are all top agents of the DEA, FBI, and Customs and they are living in this house unofficially known as "Graceland". "Graceland" is a place full of secrets, and bad, good, and blurred moments too. The only idyllic thing is its outside look, but the lives of its residents are nothing like it. The lies which are in the base of their undercover work, are formed a web of lies that pervades everything. Coming of a new graduating at the top of his class, FBI rookie, Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit), could make the life of a legendary FBI agent Paul Briggs (Daniel Sunjata) and the others, more complicated or it could reveal the truth. It is based upon actual events. A rookie FBI agent is sent to a house for undercover agents in Southern California, where he is trained by a former legend FBI agent. For those of you with bad reviews….is there anything in your life that you find pleasing???? I'm thinking there is just no pleasing you because this show is VERY good….love Daniel Sunjata from "Rescue Me", very handsome and seductive….plays this role well. I've watched every show and I still can't tell if his character is a good guy playing a bad guy or a bad guy playing a good guy…all very intense and teasing. I usually just DVR my shows and play them later but I count the minutes until this one is on Thursdays and watch it live…. I do agree that you need to watch more than just the pilot to see how the characters relate to each other and how the plot continues to thicken. I challenge anyone to guarantee who the bad guys are and who the good guys are so far this season… I thoroughly enjoyed season 1. A group of young undercover agents who do a terrific job fighting crime. Episodes are suspenseful and plots interesting and evolve throughout the season. In season 2, all that skill goes to hell and they can't seem to tie their own shoes laces without screwing it up. The characters who in season 1 were intelligent,courageous and highly skilled have somehow become stupid imbeciles who look like rookies and have seemingly lost many of those skills and act in defeatist ways in season 2. And with each passing episode the characters get more and more inept, emotionally stunted and incapable of carrying out simple tasks successfully. One character who was a star in season 1 seems to become fixated on one thing and looks more and more paranoid and fixated with each passing episode. It's like she had a dual personality; a competent one is season 1 and an emotionally stunted paranoid one in season 2. I'll watch season 3 just to see if any of these people regain some of the skills they seemed to no longer have in season 2. I wonder if the writers wrote season 2 while using some of the cartel's drugs they wrote about in this series as it is a very unrealistic portrayal of how characters can evolve from one season to the next. One final thing. A protagonist in season 2 who in the real world would have been arrested for having $20 million in safety deposit boxes on a $50K/year salary isn't even investigated and is single handedly capable of brining an entire FBI operation down. Further, why are there no alarms or cameras in Graceland for filming any break-ins if it is such a high risk secret safe house. The protagonist can break in with a pick and basically is able to reveal the entire secret group of undercover agents. This just doesn't make sense. This is one of many huge gaps in common sense in the plot of season 2.
