    New series on showtime starting this week after dexter. I loved Damian Lewis in Band of Brothers and I think this show could be pretty solid. Thoughts?

    A girl I went to high school with is in this series. Her name is Lisa Varga, she has been blowing up her FB page with it for months. She was also in some NBC made for tv football movie called game time, tackling the past.

    I'm gonna give it a chance for sure. I watched the first episode of Terra Nova the other night and that has some potential too. Can't really judge these kinds of shows by the pilot episode tho because the usually pour a shit ton of money into the pilot and then it gets worse from there. Gotta give it 3-4 episodes and then see if it's worth a shit.

    Liked the pilot, and looking forward to the next episode. I just hope it doesn't turn into too much of a late night soap...

    Pretty sold on the fact that its her mentor that's the turned agent. Would really let me down if it turns out to be the Marine or the chick.

    show would be perfect without claire danes...she is just not believable as a cia agent. she is really a terrible actress in general...that terminator movie she was in was possibly one of the worst acting jobs of all time.

    that said, i love the plot and storyline.

    I've only seen the pilot, but I thought Danes was fantastic and one of the strongest elements of the episode.

    Enjoying the show so far.

    Don't really have a clue what is going to happen or what the twist will be

    Like the show, but they should make it like 24 where there's at least a resolution each season then onto the next thing. If they don't resolve whether he's turned or not within 3-4 more episodes, I think it will lose its momentum.

    PS: I like Claire Danes. Not sure what the complaint is.

    i also have liked claire danes so far

    i am going to enjoy this show while it lasts, because i also dont see where its going after this season...i read somewhere that its only an 11episode season, which is pretty standard for showtime, but i dont see where it can go after that....in 24, they had a main character and a villian each season...we dont even know who the villain is yet...and i dont think the show can be successful having claire danes track down a different terrorist each season

    this show has definitely progressed quickly so far and i hope it continues at this pace

    I've watched all three episodes and I just came back to reiterate that Danes is doing phenomenal work through three episodes. I seriously cannot fathom how anybody thinks she is 'terrible' or 'not believable as a CIA agent'. She's perfectly cast.

    Really? I thought about checking it out but it looked kind of dumb. Guess I'll give it a go then.
