Watched the first episode this morning. So far it seems promising but there were quite a few moments where i had that "I've seen this before" feeling, mostly with the robot child but also quite a few of the elements surrounding Halle Berry's story reminded me of the cancelled (but excellent) Defying mavity.

From what i can gather it's only meant to be a 13 episode mini-series which could be a good thing, but then again Under the Dome from the same channel was also meant for the same and look how that turned out. I imagine the cost of this one will keep it at one season though.

 
Starting to enjoy this quite a bit now. I'd almost wrote it off after the first 3 episodes but it's picked up nicely.

2 x 2hr episodes...

Are they trying to wrap this up quickly?

Some were always meant to be double episodes but they are moving the whole show forward a week so the 2 hour finale doesn't air the same week as all the big shows come back for their new seasons.
 
I really hope this gets renewed. It's a bit of a weird dilemma for them as both the male and female leads (Halle and husband) are the weakest points of the show but overall it's it's compelling.
 
I was just browsing IMDb to see if Spielberg has his fingers in any other new shows and spotted this being listed as 26 episodes. Turns out it was renewed for season 2 at some point and nobody noticed. Starts on July 1st.

Only Halle Berry, the robot kid and Meryl Streep's daughter are listed as in 26 episodes, everyone else on 13. That could mean they're the only cast members returning for season 2 or perhaps IMDb just hasn't been updated properly.

Edit - turns out they decided to change things up with both the cast and story, those 3 probably are the only ones returning
