I was hoping for the best, and I really think I got it. This show was very good. It gave you a back ground, all sorts of character interests, and only just enough info to keep you wanting to come back for more.

The only thing that bothered me and caught me by surprised me was that it is only a half-hour show.

Anybody else see it? Ideas?

Just saw it, west coast time10:30-11:00.  
Liked it, especially Sardell’s “Fund Raiser” outside the coffe shop, and the “mouth-to-mouth” with Cassell.  
I’m gonna give a few more turns, it could certainly evolve into a good show.  
The thing I hate about half-hour shows is that you now have to find another compatible half-hour.
