Based on a UK series, Eleventh Hour is an intriguing crime drama from CBS. Season 1 follows FBI consultant Dr. Jacob Hood and his handler Rachel Young as they investigate cases involving unexplained scientific phenomenon. Rufus Sewell and Marley Shelton lead the cast, and while Sewell gives a strong performance Shelton seem miscast. There are also problems with the dialog, as a lot of the science jargon is hard to follow and is largely expository. Still, the cases-of-the-week are pretty interesting and explore a number of controversial scientific issues, such as cloning, gene manipulation, and cryonics. Additionally, an exciting list of guests stars are featured, including R. Lee Ermey, Oded Fehr, Judd Nelson, Nina Dobrev, Mariel Hemingway, and Helen Slater. Yet Eleventh Hour failed to find an audience and was cancelled after just one season.
