User review:
After watching Eyewitness I can hardly wait to see how this concludes at the end of 10 episodes. For the first time the leads will be a pair of very different gay teens who just happen to witness a multiple homicide.
Tyler Young and James Paxton are a pair of 15 something kids going to a high school in their little town of Red Hook. Young is not ashamed of being gay, but he doesn't advertise it for the understandable fear of ostracism and bullying. Paxton is confused, these are feelings he doesn't want, but he's so attracted to Young and so fearful of being discovered especially by his alpha male dad.
They go to a remote mountain cabin to finally do the deed and it turns out to be a gang hideout and while hiding the boys see a shooting of four people. And as it turns out Young is a foster kid in the custody of Julianne Nicholson who is the sheriff. The former regular on Law And Order Criminal Intent models her character somewhat after Frances McDormand in Fargo minus the pregnancy.
I really applaud USA Network for showing the trials and tribulations and the juvenile angst of young gay teens. I'm sure we'll have raving and ranting from the religious right, but this is progress.
It's also a good beginning to a series which looks like it will have many side stories as well as the hunt for the murderers before he gets to the Eyewitnesses.
