Professional success and personal failure of James M. Barrie In researching the many odd and bizarre happenings of our unique culture‚ it is certain that truth is often stranger than fiction. The first paragraph of James Barrie’s classic story "Peter Pan" introduced its central theme: "All children except one‚ grow up.

Hayes Morrison‚ Hayley Atwell‚ is a former First Daughter who has been given a second chance after being put in a jail cell for possession of cocaine. She’s provocative‚ dangerous‚ and very blunt. I like it. Her punishment for the cocaine and sleeping with multiple of her students: leading the CIU (Conviction Integrity Unit). Personally‚ I thought the pilot was very good but it did feel like it was missing something. The chemistry between D.A. Conner Wallace‚ Eddie Cahill‚ and Hayes Morrison is
