    First of the new mid-season shows, starts tomorrow in the States.

    Time will tell if it's another forgettable procedural, but looks like it's worth checking out at least.

    It's a bit worrying that the next 4 episodes (after the pilot) seem to be airing on Saturday nights ... surely a kiss of death.

    This and Taken are going to be very very similar I think.

    Pretty poor, didn't grab me at all. This show is toast.

    Pretty much this; for being the episode one intending to grab you that was a very weak meta plot to run with :/

    Calling the pilot average would be doing a favour and it looks like CBS know that as well and giving it a Saturday night slot.

    And I'm done with the series; yet another at best lukewarm performance of generic stereotypes without anything resembling a reason to continue watching it.

    It's a Saturday show, so any hope that this would actually be reasonable was minimal anyhow and after episode 2 it's clear why this is a Saturday show.

    Nody sums it up nicely above.
