Pilot has just aired. I haven't watched it yet, but it definitely looks like it may have promise.

Guess time will tell.

I thought it was alright but not something i would have confidence in a channel like NBC not cancelling after a season, but i suppose it's early doors. It was also a bit weird seeing the lead actress in something like this considering the quality of shows she's done previous to this like Rectify and True Detective.

Abigail Spencer was an actress in Suits for a while, too.

Felt very 12 monkeys at the start..... and then I was saying to myself as long as its not going back in time to some boring incident and it pretty much was.

Did not really have any wow factor either.

Maybe she's struggling to find work after unwittingly acting in porn

Is this a poke at Rectify and True Detective? (neither of which I have seen) Or have I missed something else?

I googled it after reading his post, videoed herself masturbating with her phone and the usual happened when a celeb videos him/herself doing naughty stuff and stores it on the really really secure icloud.

I bet that you did more than just google it

Her remote audition videos for Lars Von Tiers 'Nymphomaniac' became part of the 'fappening' leak.
Tbh don't think she can complain about lack of scripts on her doorstep, but all four leading actors including villain displayed lack of judgement picking this project, so I can only presume that this show started as much higher budget than the "ten years ago" Vfx of the final version we saw would suggest.

Never ever play on the cloud.... you just end up sinking otherwise

I have been watching this slowly and I have to say it is quite limited. USA doesn't have enough history for this in a similar way to Quantum Leap.
All they can do is go back in history and analyse historical racism and sexism.
Andi.

The thing I find odd is racism doesn't seem to affect the main cast when they travel through time, I know it's not supposed to be a heavy show but they seem to skip over it.
