As it is, Hour arrives as yet another import procedural on a schedule that is already awash in both. It's never less than adequate; no show produced by Jerry Bruckheimer ever is. But even with CSI as a lead-in, it's hard to see how merely adequate can be good enough.
Adapted from a British miniseries, Hour stars British actor Rufus Sewell as Dr. Jacob Hood, "special science adviser to the FBI." His expertise is so valuable, he travels with an FBI protector/minder, Rachel Young (Marley Shelton).
At least that's the basic idea. The series can't be bothered to make real sense of it. If he's of such high value, why send him into dangerous situations with just one ally? Why does he show up tonight at the scene of what appears to be a routine case when nobody knows it's not routine until he gets there? Why is the FBI allowing a scientist to conduct criminal investigations and interrogations in the first place?
None of that might matter if either the characters or mystery were strong. Sewell is normally an interesting actor, but the role, and perhaps the American accent, has flattened him out. And Shelton has no character to play at all, or at least none that stays consistent between the two episodes made available for review.
What you end up with is a show that lands with an unexciting thud between two genres. The cases are of X-Files sci-fi variety, but the stories are insufficiently creepy to keep Files fans happy. The main character is a charming crank along the lines of House, but he's neither charming nor cranky enough to register. Maybe if he had gotten there first, but he didn't.
