    Not the greatest, but better than most new series lately. Hopefully will get better as the season goes on. And I can see Gary getting really annoying after a while.

    I was expecting an awful show. Some of the characters need to be a little less... expected, but stuff like that is usually fixed after the pilot. The pilot was was definitely watchable and I actually plan to watch the next couple of eps to see if it at least stays that way.

    This week's episode was pretty good.
    A sprinkling of character development and metaplot advancement, in a solid episode (and a Glau guest star doesn't hurt.)

    Glau means the show will die though. She gives the kiss of death.

    So fucking true... If only that would apply to wrestling and ghost crappers.

    I was actually saddened with how they made Summer out to look on that episode. A little too alternative. She's still hot as fuck though. The chick that plays Nina I would completely obliterate. As of so far the show is at least entertaining. Not the best, not the worst.

    Agreed, however, such a rating far exceeds the vast majority of new and returning shows lately. I honestly find the autistic guy the star of the show. He has bits and/or improvs that seem to make the other cast members honestly chuckle. He plays a "mentally disabled" person in an extremely humorous way without making me feel guilty about laughing at real autistic behavioral problems.

    Well we were all wrong, it gets a second season!

    I just watched the season finale. This show is solid, though with how they closed the season out, it's going to be curious how it will take the story's timetable. They're going to have to ramp bigger and bigger, or take a whole different tack. Both tricky with a network like siffy.

    speaking of which, idk how it's going to work, but siffy partnered with MS to bring content to xbox. idk if it means live streaming eps, or netflix type streaming, or if there's a fee, but it's kinda nifty I guess

    Ok, the show is back now (along with Warehouse), 3rd ep of S2 later today.

    It's still pretty awesome.

    You know I am still having a hard time connecting with the characters compared to W13, in which the characters are awesome. I do like the show though.
