Paul Rader (Donnie Wahlberg) has been accused of a murder he didn't commit, and is on the run from the law, looking for the evidence that will clear his name. Paul's situation is more complicated than that of your average fugitive, though: The bad guys have threatened his family, and the only way to keep them safe is for them to go on the lam with him.
For Paul's wife, Lily (Leslie Hope), that's manageable, but for teens Henry and Hannah (Dustin Milligan and Sarah Ramos), it means being pulled from town to town, never staying anywhere long enough to make friends; for little Tommy (Nathan Gamble), it means struggling to remember what his name is supposed to be this time, or where the family is supposed to be from.
Wahlberg and Hope are fine actors, and if the show were more focused on them, it would be much improved. But this is the first new series from the CW, descendant of the WB, and that means we have to spend most of our time with Henry, moping about the girlfriend he left behind, or with Hannah, flirting with the cute boy next door. Milligan and Ramos are pretty in that bland TV way that the WB mastered during its existence, but they're not particularly interesting actors (to be fair, they haven't been given interesting characters to play).
The dullest show of the year thus far.
