The wife and I watched it, I was entertained. I'll definitely check out a couple more eps to see if it's worth staying with. I did like how the little boy went boom in the beginning.

Watched this for the first time last night. Seemed like a decent enough concept, but overall it just feels like 24's little brother. Lower stakes, less-interesting characters, etc. Fox always likes to premiere its shows early in the season to gain a little traction, especially before the baseball playoffs pre-empt everything later, so it'll be interesting to see if it can hold on then. Although personally I'm a little bored of the whole serialized drama thing going on. Still I'll probably watch again.
Anyone catch that the Quinn character was played by Landycakes' girlfriend? :p

So far it's been ok, but nothing special. I'm going to check out Heroes when it debuts so whichever is better will win that timeslot for me.

Wasn't bad. Not great, but not bad.
I'll give it a few more episodes.

I'm disappointed so far. The story isn't terribly strong but if taken on a weird tangent might be cool. The acting and dialouge are terrible. No, terrible is too nice, horrendous is probably more accurate. The senator's daughter is missing with a suspected murderer and his reaction is, "Get out of my office, oh, and if she's in trouble, find her." Find her? They can't even find your wife who has been missing for a week.
So far every character has acted ridiculously. I know they are supposed to be suspicious, hiding things, but they all act like idiots. Q

This show has almost sucked the life from me.
I'm looking forward to Heroes in the same time slot.

Agreed. I've tried to watch the 3rd episode twice now, but I just can't force myself to go through with it.
The voiceover in the beginning really makes me want to take my own life. It's awful and pretty much ruins my mood so I can't watch the rest of the show.
It's the same annoying voice that was on Surface, before that show thankfully got canned. Maybe that's why i hate the voice so much.... or maybe it's because i'm smrt. I mean s m A r t.

I read that Eddie Cibrian will be joining the show, and rumors abound that something happens to the lead FBI agent and we don't see him for a while.

He's an awful actor. He did something that i personally REALLY hate....
about 9 minutes into the 3rd episode, he spikes the camera. oops. I really hate when actors do that on shows (when it isn't supposed to happen).

Yeah, I'm giving up on this one. Not worth the effort to watch.
What the hell is "spiking the camera?"

What the hell is "spiking the camera?"
When the actor/actress looks directly at the camera by accident, thus destroying the illusion which is trying to be achieved.
The scene I'm talking about is when he's supposed to be looking from an off screen character one side of the camera to and off screen character on the other side, but his eye stops for a split second on the camera lens, which of course, good actors don't do.

Was it the continuing focus on the daughter that can't act or the fact that the FBI seemingly lets media, suspects, random passerbys wander their offices looking through evidense? :D Q

I really think the Son had something to do with this. He seems strange and Calm.

I hate when we pick up things like this in shows, only to realize that is isn't a real clue, but just limitations of actors.
I'm still trying to figure out why the camera crew were filming an elevator.... they were outside obviously, and there would have been no reason to film a normal rising elevator. That part serisouly bugs me a lot.
