Premieres on ABC tonight. I'll check it out. I can take or leave Anthony Edwards. I like Nazis and conspiracy theories.

Thoughts?

It is a bit too "clean". Most scenes filmed in broad daylight. The characters are still a bit stiff, as most are early on. Soundtrack needs more frantic and mysterious music.

I missed it. What time does it air so I can set dvr. I was so focused on watching person of interest I missed it

It's getting destroyed by critics. I haven't seen it. I'm afraid it may be similar to that stupid end-of-the-world show that's already out, revolution.

The critics are mostly bashing the acting and dialogue. I never expected Anthony Edwards to floor me with his abilities. Much like I did not expect Nick Cage to in National Treasure.

I didn't watch Revolution past week-2, so I can't compare them.

If you enjoyed National Treasure and Da Vinci Code and can handle acting beneath the quality of Lost, give it a try.

I barely recognized Addison Timlin (Rachel). You Californication people would remember her as the young and naughty Sasha Bingham.

I wasn't feeling the show but I was also distracted at the same time. The brunette is hot though, if that's the girl you mentioned. The skater dude(I guess her boyfriend?) was on that show The River before it got axed. Maybe I'll rewatch the first episode.
As of now though it's definitely no National Treasure.

Well crap. Have to look at On Demand.

Repeat of first episode is Sunday night, 10 eastern. It was decent, enough to make me give it a few more episodes to see what's up. Seems like a decent baseline story but I do see the national treasure / da vinci code comparison

The show is moving at a frantic pace tonight. They must think that viewers will abandon the show if they developed the characters.

I agree, Tux. It felt very hurried. I hope this isn't going to be globe-trotting looking for a clock and the wife and bad guy slip out of my hands every week sorta deal. I may not be able to hang on.

Charles Dutton survived...Hooray!

if thats the case then we only have 10 episodes left, maybe one more to wrap it all up. i like the show but i don't see where it's going as far as long term is concerned.

Much better episode tonight. The Einstein back-story was very interesting. I'm all the way in until further notice.

I got through the first 2 episodes earlier this week and enjoyed it. Poor mangled foot woman.

I don't know why the networks don't take shows like this and commit for two to three seasons and close it out. Finite timeline.

i'm all in on this too, shame it's not going to have much of a shelf life because i'm enjoying it. like i've said before this would make a pretty solid movie just not sure it's there to carry it multiple seasons

This show had a great storyline, but anyone outside of Fox fails miserably. Let Chris Carter get a hold of this and he would have a hit.
