I really like the show because I love SyFy, but when you take it out of that content, you make a big mistake. First thing you have a President from another country visiting the US. Someone is trying to kill the President that is visiting, and all you have is a local police Lt. in charge.
This is very poor writing, or you think that we as Americans are stupid. Where are the FBI and the CIA. What kind of National Security are we running here for visiting Head's of State.
Next thing is, very poor writing when someone can enter a female President's hotel room, and there is no security inside, and the daughter can come out of her room hiding behind a laundry cart as a maid.
Like I said, I love SyFy, but the National Security part was really stupid. The writers really droped the ball on this one, unless they thought we are. Stupid that is.
