    Alright, my reaction in the primetime thread was ಠ_ಠ, and just the text alone is particularly headdesk, and I'm staring at through the lens of the recent failure of Intelligence and Mind Games.

    But that pilot was shot at theatrical quality, and the actors execution is pretty decent. So maybe.

    This looks real cheesy. It looks like they trying too hard and it's gonna turn into another of those shows that just gonna drag on without any real point to it.

    More like The A-Team but with sperglords, and shot like White Collar.
    Speed is just one problem-of-the-week.

    Wow, didn't know it was for TV....

    I don't see it translating into a long tv-series well.... Unless that's just like the first ep, then other eps are them dealing with other problems. I don't have high hopes for it. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    lmao I don't see how you can watch this with a straight face. The fact that they have the balls to try to make this into a TV series is just dumbfounding.

    I am worried because CBS didn't really give Intelligence a good shot.

    I want to be interested, but I don't want to give it my time only for it to be canceled before it gets good. Trailer was great, don't see how that fits into one episode though.

    It's by the producer of the Fast and the Furious. Straight faces need not apply. I will be watching that is for sure.

    Yeah stupid kid trapped in a sinkhole...
    why the fuck don't they just pump out the frigging water if it's only filling up every so slightly fast...
    I mean tiny space and it takes an hour to fill up.. fucking pump out the water...You even had a pvc pipe that reached directly to the kid...
    and shouldn't they like at least try to cover up their identities a little? I mean they are supposed to be a special ops team.

    and walter is still an idiot to turn down dominika after that successful mission, from last weeks ep.

    You know a show is good when the thread hasn't had a comment in a year.

    This is a fun show, but you can't take it seriously. One episode had them operate solar panels with an emergency light. The next had them try to slow down a train using grease, then someone jumped onto it from a running start while the train was going 90 MPH, then jumped off of it and caught a stoplight while going 80+ MPH.

    I just kinda stopped watching/backburnered it. The writing just needed to be a little higher, hearing the same repeated dialogue about their issues started to drag. Made it halfway through first season, then other shows just kinda took precedence.

    I still enjoy it for what it is, but I dont take it seriously. This season has had like 10x more character development so I've been enjoying it more than S1 that literally felt like episode of the week for 90% of that season
