Good ! I've been catching up on the first 3 episodes (knowing it apparently won't be a mythology-driven show, there's no extra value in waiting for December to watch all 10-11 episodes in a row) and I like it.
I hate most copshows but this one has some ingredients that will make me stick around at least for a little while : first of all, the cast, led by the talented Maria Bello. But the supporting cast has some familiar faces : Kenny Johnson (Lem in The Shield), Kirk Acevedo (Band of Brothers, Oz, Fringe), Bryan F. O'Byrne (one of the rare actors that didn't seem to overact in FlashForward)... that's a great cast.
I like the atmosphere, too : gritty, cold, and the directing (by Peter 'FNL' Berg in the pilot) matches it. Despite that, it remains a copshow, there's no ambition to do more than that, so far there's no serialized elements we can follow alongside the cases of the week, but I'm not bored, and there's no bland shipper relationship or scientific stuff emerge, it just is a great copshow, so I'll keep on watching.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
That's good news, it's such a top-notch show. Hope it doesn't get caught up with NBC and they're annual Cancel-Thon.
