Zahn plays Clark Edwards, an expert in human behavior with more than a few behavioral tics of his own. He’s a bipolar academic who refuses to take his medication, which leads to outrageous bursts of joy and anger that make it tough to run a quasi-detective agency with his con-artist brother (Christian Slater).
The fast-paced, often frantic dialogue is smarter and funnier than what you’re used to seeing on a prime-time series. Creator Kyle Killen is clearly more interested in the characters than diving into the procedural of the week.
“I was baffled that a network wanted to do this,” Zahn said. “I was convinced there was no way the show was going to be picked up. I had heard nightmares from other actors about how executives can create barriers you can’t get out of. That didn’t happen with this. This was really open and free.”

I know! I wonder why that is? I like Christian Slater and I've liked the shows he's been in but they always get cancelled.

Huh, sounds kind of like a cross between "Numb3rs" and "Lie to Me".

Steve Zahn is talented, and I used to have a crush on Christian Slater, so I hope this turns out to be a good show...
but I have no idea as to whether it actually will be-and even if it is good, quality doesn't always lead to high ratings.

Someone who has seen it will hopefully come back and tell us here how it was-once the pilot episode airs, tomorrow night.

I just finished watching the first 3 episodes. I had to DVR them because they conflicted with some of my other shows, and did not have a chance to watch them until last night.
I was all set to not like it, because - even though I do enjoy Christian Slater - his other shows did not do well. And I almost deleted them from my DVR without watching them. I am SO glad I didn't delete them!

It is a little like Lie To Me, in that they are messing around in peoples brains, but that's where the similarities end.
Steve Zahn is wonderful as the bi-polar genius, and Slater plays his ethics-challenged brother. They have a crew that works with them, but the standout performances belong to Slater and Zahn.

I ended up watching all 3 episodes back to back. My opinion =

I kind of wanted to see it but I have way too many things to watch right now. That said, it doesnt look like it is going to make it much longer based on the ratings.
