So who all watched it last night?

I think this looks like it should be a good series. I like the different dynamics they are already creating. And I don't think they're going to hold much back as far as sex and violence goes.

I don't have cable. Is it worth pirating?

I was watching Chicago Fire and missed it. I'll watch sometime this weekend. I might have to move it into the Wed night 10p time slot and just catch Nashville and Chicago Fire on Hulu.

As I said in the Winter TV Premier thread, any series that starts off with a blow job gets an A-ok in my book.

I liked it. They moved the plot along quite quickly for the first episode, imo, which was good.

Or that is why you have the Genie so you can record them all...

Not a lot really. Justified, Modern Family, and Chicago Fire are the only shows I actually watch while they are on. Other shows I try to stay up with on Hulu, but may get several weeks behind before I get a chance to catch up. Usually on a Sunday after a good drunk I'll hook the laptop up to the TV and relax while I catch up.

Not a bad second episode I guess. Keri Russell..just something about her when her hair is down.....so gorgeous.

I liked the second episode as well.

I am not sure how many seasons this show could go though with how fast they seem to be ramping up the "pressure."

Watching "the clock" right now. Is this the 2nd or 3rd episode? It's the first I've watched. Can't find the others.

It's the 2nd episode. The pilot was called The Pilot.

You'll need to see the pilot. It sets everything up for you and gives you backgrounds on everyone.

So far so good, and Keri Russell definitely adds to the reason why.

I just finished the first episode. It's ok but I won't be disappointed if it's canceled.

I've watched the first two episodes, and would be surprised if the show lasts long. I find it pretty boring, which sucks, because I had high hopes for it.

Yes sir, good show so far... Couple episodes behind though. Just started watching "house of cards", awesome show.

I do agree with that The Americans had been slow, hopefully it picks up.

Sat next to her at dinner in a restaurant here in Brooklyn Heights ... very pretty in person, sometimes you see a celebrity and its a downer, but she was quite stunning.

This show, The Following and Ripper Street are shows I don't miss.

This show is starting to become a softcore porn.

I think it's turning out to be an alright show, but nothing spectacular.

I did like the inclusion of The Cure's "Siamese Twins" song at the end of the latest episode.
