Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I watched the pilot episode on that sneak preview they did after the Breaking Bad season finale. I liked it well enough to watch it when it comes out.

I caught it when they replayed it tonight, and it was pretty damn good. I'm glad the only decent actor from The Pacific got a lead role in something that hopefully turn into something big.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Anyone watched this season? I'm just finishing it, and so far I really like it!

It was one of the smartest shows I've seen in a long time. It's like David Mamet and Stanley Kubrick's films had a baby that was a spy thriller.

I loved it up until the last episode or 2. Then it just kinda fell apart for me. Rumor mill has the writers knowing they weren't getting picked up for a second season and just trying to tie up as many loose ends as possible. The last episode especially just wasn't that good. I about jumped through the TV and started punching during the park scene with the DVD. Also, the way they finished his neighbor's story line looked like something they made up over donuts and coffee that morning.

Wait, it didn't get picked up for a second season?  |

Ah, so they aren't being picked up? Well I'm kind of glad I missed a few episodes early-mid season and quit watching.

Wait, it didn't get picked up for a second season? Damn, just finished the finale. I really enjoyed this show, even though I agree with Brogarn's comments about the finale. As HaemishM said one of the smartest shows in a while. It all fit well together too, the acting, feel, editing, it presented one coherent image. |

Wait, it didn't get picked up for a second season? That's what I read ... err ... somewhere that I'm not finding now. So, take that with a bit of salt. I do know the ratings were abysmal, though. So, when I read that, I bought it completely. It's possible I'm completely wrong now that I'm searching around a bit. |

It hasn't yet been renewed but no word about whether it's been shitcanned according to the Futon Critic.

Of course the ratings were abysmal. The show was smart, well written and twisty. Way too complicated for 90% of the TV watching public who are content to stare slack-jawed at Jersey Shore and American Fucking Idol.
Edited because I was hopped up on painkillers when I wrote the reply the first time.

Rubican't.
Sad to see this go. It felt very realistic with believable characters and situations. Great acting but maybe needed just a bit more...something. Hope all of these great actors find good work again.
