Premiere March 5, 2015 on USA

Currently advertised as a mini-series but I'd imagine if it's successful it'll become a series.

Looks interesting. Agree with the comment on USA. The producer of Homeland has been busy, but I was not impressed with Legends on TNT, but very big fan of Homeland.

They've had 6 good shows that I used to watch on there: Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, White Collar, Royal Pains, Graceland, Suits. The first 3 ran their courses. Suits is phenomenal!

Come on how could you forget Psych! I also really liked In Plain Sight that was on from 2008-2012 starring Mary McCormack, Fred Weller & Paul Ben-Victor.

Also back in the day there was The Dead Zone starring Anthony Micheal Hall & Nicole de Boer and The 4400 all though I think I gave up on it after Season 2.

I never got into Psych but I did watch In Plain Sight. It was cancelled a while ago though so I didn't mention it.

Finally got around to watching the premiere. I have to say it was rather good! I kept wondering if the redhaired girl was really there even when they were in the cave. It wasn't until they showed the camera photo of the two of them together when I was assured she was real. The clone(assuming that's what they are) compound is really strange and extreme.

Watched the the first two episodes last night and I'm interested in where all this is going. It definitely has some weird & crazy stuff going on.

Since its only 10 episodes I'll finish it out.

This show has been pretty intriguing so far. I would say its pulled me in but less from a "I love it" standpoint, more from a "I can't really get the concept and am waiting on some more info"
Which given that this is a miniseries would suggest that the creators have done a good job

Not sure if anyone is still watching, but I have really gotten pulled in the last two episodes very interesting as to where this is all leading.
Very surprising considering my disdain for USA as a channel and mini-series period

You might already be aware of the story of the Temple Mount but I wasn't until watching this show, and having asked some questions.

The Temple Mount is considered one of the most sacred places for Jews/Muslims. For anyone that might not know I'll post this here from Wikipedia.

"In light of the dual claims of both Judaism and Islam, it is one of the most contested religious sites in the world. Since the Crusades, the Muslim community of Jerusalem has managed the site as a Waqf, without interruption. As the site is part of the Old City, controlled by Israel since 1967, both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim sovereignty over it, and it remains a major focal point of the Arab–Israeli conflict. In an attempt to keep the status quo, the Israeli government enforces a controversial ban on prayer by non-Muslims."

These radical Jews intend on rebuilding their temple on the mount.

Yes. I'm still watching I just had to catch up on the DVR the last couple episodes. USA has had some stellar shows as of the last several years. I'm not sure how long you've been avoiding the network.

Burn Notice(ran it's course), Covert Affairs(ran it's course), White Collar(ran it's course), Suits, Royal Pains, Dig. To name some of the better shows they have.

What I like about USA is that they give shows a good chance instead of airing a few episodes or one season and then ditching it.

I've watched. It's ok but not great. Tim Kring can't seen to move past the "special kid" thing.

He's only done that with one other show that I can think of and that was Touch. I'd call this kid in this show more of a sociopath than anything special and the show isn't focused around him so much as Jason Isaacs' character.

Kring did Heroes too, which also had a few special kids.

It doesn't matter that the show isn't focused on the kid, the point is Kring appears to only be able to do shows with similar themes and plot devices.

It's not a bad show, but it's not great either.

Her being alive was pretty genius. Kind of sloppy on the other parties part though.

This is a really good show, I always want more when the credits roll.

Yeah, that came completely out of left field. I wish there was more resolved in the Utah storyline it seems there back to square one with that.

I felt like it was a bit anticlimactic for some reason but still good. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series. I don't see where they could go with this if they intend(ed) on having a second season. It felt like everything was wrapped up, at least for that story line. What more could they do in Israel at this point?

It was just weird and completely delusional on her part. Plus I didn't think the two of them had any real chemistry together for that scene to even happen. Unless the writers did it just to show you how effed up in the head she was.

Probably didn't help that the woman who played her hasn't acted a lot and is more well known as a musician. I think that accounted for the lack of chemistry between her and a veteran actor like Issacs.
