We last saw Aaron Paul on television screaming into the night and fleeing that devil Walter White.
How legit was his visionary drug trip?
Does he seek clarity or stay comfortably agnostic?

Sly, intricate ironies abound onThe Path.
A misunderstanding or outright lie that takes on a life of its own?
Thats religion for many skeptics.
Paul and Monaghan are always intense and credible, but I wanted more.
Their characters have damage and history but not much internal complexity.
The shows best character is Cal Roberts (Hugh Dancy), the communes ambitious leader.
His many unresolved flaws betray the limits of Meyerism.
He knows a secret that could topple everything.
But he doesnt want to.
The Pathis best when it offers more than just skepticism and cynicism.
The premiere clunks as a premise setter and paranoid thriller.
fire off the race, keep the faith:The Pathis a provocative journey.B
