OK, has anyone seen this? I watched an episode last night and this looks like a new favorite of mine. I thought it was well written and acted, which is unusual these days...and the humor they worked into the episode was good too! The only thing that wasn't believable was the behavior of the Russian thugs - but this is TV after all....

Anyone else catch this show? What do you think of it?

It was fun, if not terribly deep.

I question whether or not this has long-lasting potential though. The hero's schizo problem is going to get old after a while. If he's still schizing out and his employer is still unable to correct the problem after 12 episodes, they're going to look rather inept. Inept heroes aren't interesting.

I'll tune in for a few more episodes at least to see how they handle this.

It premiered already ? I thought it was supposed to premiere next week.
I missed it.

I missed the Pilot, but saw last nights episode. It was okay. I cant imagine it lasting long. Not sure if it is Christian Slater or the storyline. I agree with Mark, an inept hero is boring.

I watched the series premier, it was okay but I haven't watched it again. I don't know if I'm watching something else or I just decided not to continue watching. Whichever, I'm not missing it!

Yeah I liked the premier but I can't see it lasting. It is a great concept for a feature length movie but I think it'll either run dry as a series or just get dumb.

I'm watching #2 now. I liked the first one. I think his co-worker is going to go "rogue" and kick his *ss or kill him.

I hope all the "It can't last" comments aren't foreshadowing - I love Alfre and want to see this show last! What a classy lady.
