What makes "Butterfly" work is well choreographed action scenes and above average acting. Its never going to be a great series but its mildly diverting if you can look past the clumsy social engineering and politicking.
In summary, a formulaic but nonetheless diverting action series, that's elevated by polished production values and decent acting.
