I watched the first week and recorded the 2nd but have not watched yet. I was soooo anxious for this to be good, but was ambivilant after epi 1. I do LOVE LIE TO ME and CASTLE, along with a host of others...(I too am an addict), but LS did not really pump me up.

I strongly dislike television shows that coast on location. Had "Lone Star" been called anything else but, it might have had a fighting chance. However, the name of the show itself is off-putting, and I think that the poster who noted that Americans had grown weary of the Texas con man are spot on. It connotes a stereotype and I'll bet dimes to doughnuts that "Lone Star" was full of them.

I don't watch "Mad Men" because it's set in New York; I watch it because it's exemplary. I cannot abide Seattle, but I still watch "Grey's Anatomy" because the show doesn't stress location. It could have been filmed anywhere -- Houston, Dallas, Atlanta -- and still retained the same marketable quality. If someone wants to film a series in Texas, I say go for it. But sheesh, if Texas is going to be the premise, count me out of the viewership.

It is absolutely not filmed in Seattle but in Los Angeles. It is "set" in Seattle and they use some stock film footage of the city in the series and occasionally we'd read in the paper when they'd come up to shoot a scene which was a very rare occurrence.
