The Notorious pilot isn’t terrible, all things considered.
The biggest problem with the Notorious series premiere is undoubtedly the way the episode pulls a few too many “Gotcha!” twists within its first 42 minutes.
A couple of sex scenes and a cameo from Katie Couric aren’t enough to distract from the shortcomings.
All is not as it seems, however; Julia and Jake are actually pals who work together to present the news as they see fit.
