I've watched two episodes and personally think this is a winner! There aren't many programs today that can keep me interested but the story behind this guy is very interesting to me. I especially like when they show flashbacks of when he was a soldier in New Amsterdam and they show what happened and why he is in the situation he is in now. Have you watched the program? If you did what do you think about it? If not is there something on at the same time that you watch instead?

I wasn't sure it would interest me. At his simplest it's still just another "cop looking for love" story, but the first two episodes have been excellent. Aside from the female partner, who may be temporary anyway, the cast is interesting and well portrayed. The lead actor, for a relative unknown, is exceptional. Even if the show doesn't make it, this actor will. Probably the most interesting thing I liked in these episodes was him not lying or stumbling to cover his past. It's so predictable on shows like this to waste the first few episodes trying to explain how this person has hidden his "special ability" all this time. This show has just thrown it out there that most people won't believe him anyway, so why bother. Here's to many more episodes!

I missed it and wanted to watch it too. Somehow our DVR only records two programs at a time and I don't even know which ones were recording. I'm going to ask my hubby when he gets back next Wednesday if he can record from then on.

I really wanted to catch that show, ctry, because I do love a good vampire story, but the timing of the first show clashed with my schedule. They ran it again on Thursday night, but I'm so forgetful that I only remembered when you posted this discussion. Maybe I'll go on TV.com and see if I can watch some of it.
