Well it's out now and looks to be good. Bacon is looking rough as rats and Purefoy seems to be showing a nice lunatic side to himself.

Hopefully they won't go to nuts with the whole "every other guest actor is a baddie" thing though.
 
Pilot episode had a fair share of highs and lows, giving it a solid B+ for now. Certainly has potential to go places, Bacon was quite fantastic I think.

I enjoyed the episode but Bacon was the only part i was unsure about. He was a bit wooden throughout but hopefully his character will go where it looks like it might, a bit round the bend. Purefoy was excellent.

Hopefully both this and the Hannibal show that should be starting soon end up being good.
 
Decent episode, agree with the above, I thought Bacon was the worst part to be honest, seemed like plastic Ham.

Purefoy was good, but he's always had that nailed down, he's not doing anything out of his range.

One thing that peeved me, Shawn Ashmore's character. Both a criminal psychologist, field agent an computer wiz. Should have cast the roles separately, made the character look daft/unrealistic when you slap too many specialities on them.

Didn't see the the end of the episode panning out that way and intrigued me, so I'll give it another episode at least.

Bacon seemed to be channelling a beaten Jack Bauer at the start but he moved up a gear as the story progressed.

"check the browsing history on the computer and get the logs from the isp"

Actually facepalmed when they said all that tosh.

For the love of god, how have networks not hired somebody to be a consultant on computer matters these days? you'd only have to hire them once to map out lingo for certain scenarios, which you could then use across all your broadcasted shows.
 
Enjoyed this episode to start. Think Bacon will grow into the role............ :rolleyes: :D

Seriously though it has potential and you can't really slate anything character wise after a pilot.
 
Watched this earlier (nice to see Sky are only a day behind the US on this one) and rather liked it. Quite gutted they killed Maggie Grace off straight away though. :(

As cringeworthy as that dialogue was, the majority of people out there won't know that he was talking ****, so for them it's probably a non issue.

Loved the show, already would put money on it getting picked up for a second season, it's definitely going to have as strong following *boom tish ;)

So glad that girl got killed, i've hated her in everything I see her in since Lost, she's a poor actress and is utterly type cast us a downtrodden/unable to defend herself/teen/young lady.

She's playing a teen in Taken and she's 29 FFS, ok, that's not her fault but she bugs me :D
 
Decent first episode. Im liking the horror aspects of this show. Not too sure about kevin Bacons character though

Yep that was the bit that most made me go "Eh?"

Still, quite enjoyed it none the less and have got it on series record, definitely worth a chance, there's not much else out there right now.
 
Also watched episode 2 last night, quite the ending that! :eek:

This show certainly does not hold back. Has a lot of potential.

Enjoyed the line about having so many games to play.
 
Its beyond silly imho, I enjoy a "who's done it" as much as the next guy but this is more "who's not done it" thatn a serious thriller.
