The one with Wesley Snipes. I was watching it last night and it wasn’t really clear to me what was going on, so I read the Wikipedia page, and it wasn’t a whole lot of help. It’s some sort of combination of crime-fighting and gambling? And the main guy, Alex? He’s the Player? It doesn’t seem like he is in this voluntarily. Should I watch from the beginning On Demand? Is it worth it?
I watched the first episode and it was…not good.
Basically Wesley works for “The House” a sooper-sekrit organization with infinity plus one dollars and they can spy on everyone and they use this amazing power to let wealthy degenerates bet on the outcome of crimes. Philip Winchester is a former supercop with a Mysterious Past who is recruited/blackmailed into being “the player.” His job is to stop the crimes that the house is tracking. The bettors wager on whether the player will be successful.
The whole premise is so absurd and the pilot so full of awkward exposition that I didn’t watch any more of it. You’d think Wes would have better taste, but I suppose you have to take what you can get when you’ve just done three years for tax evasion.
OK, so I wasn’t being dense, it’s just that the whole thing doesn’t make sense. That helps! 
My god that is convoluted…but so insanely high-concept it had to have made every executive just pee with excitement…until the ratings came in.
At a more basic level, the concept is this: one man with the best signals intelligence money (and corruption) can buy trying to stop the Crime of the Week. That’s not a bad foundation for a show, but the “wealthy soulless gamblers” justification for that core plot leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I think the show had a rough start but is getting good now. Unfortunately, it may not last.
