  "account": "Tracy Spiridakos stars in USA Network's new crime drama Anna Pigeon, airing on Friday nights at 10 p.m. The show follows a park ranger, Anna, who uses her wit to solve crimes in a beautiful national park. While Spiridakos' performance and the scenic beauty of the park are highlights, the series is formulaic and forgettable, lacking any real edge or substance. Anna, a former stage manager, is thrust into crime-solving despite lacking the qualifications. The Canadian production, co-produced with Bell Media, feels slightly dull, with characters lacking personality and plotting that falls short. The show's larger mystery and recurring nightmares about her husband's random home invasion feel predictable. Although there are some bright spots, like Spiridakos' steely presence and Paulina Alexis' performance as fellow ranger Zoey, Anna Pigeon ultimately falls into the same cookie-cutter crime procedural mold, lacking the spark to make it truly memorable.",
  "summary": "USA's Anna Pigeon offers beautiful scenery from our national parks, but it's thoroughly mediocre as a crime drama - read our review.",
