It was OK, but I did not like the old guy..Emerson? His lines were just laughable...

Watched the full two hours but was not really interested at all, which is saying something given that I have about 10 channels total to choose from at the hospital.

Hated the camera for some reason - just seemed 'off' to me, like it was filmed with a home video camera rather than whatever the hell they use for tv/movies. Silly complaint, but it was probably the single biggest thing that annoyed me about the show.

I plan to give it a few more episodes...a lot of shows can suck up to the first season, and then come out great after the cast starts to blend, and the writers figure out how to write for the cast.

The overall theme seems cool though.

Terrible. It's basically CSI with an Time Travel gimmick to give people a carrot

265 criminals, one each week? So they think that this show will last that long? Yeah right, no thanks. Dumb premise, nothing new to be had.

the show was fucking terrible. watched the first 2 eps today. really really bad with stupid cliche story where the main characters have "super powers" and can solve stuff with absolutely no leads. i like how the chick new exactly where he was sniping from out of nowhere.

i can suspend disbelief for some shows, but this one was just terrible. acting is bad too. oh and i'm tired of jj abrams trying to fuck with me so he can kiss my ass. the end of ep2 where we saw lucy was from back in the day, that was enough.

will not be watching anymore episodes.
