It's in the Library section under Recently Added, but only in SD, for HD it's under All.

It was amusing to see McCarran airport being just a small shack.
Pity the US sites like TVbythenumbers claim it is almost certainly cancelled with low ratings.
There's no graphic violence, at least the way I understand the term, but I have heard that in the UK pre-watershed broadcasts of Buffy The Vampire Slayer have been censored like mad, so who knows what will be done to Vegas.
Well im downloading it on catch up so I'll see. I'll record 8pm one as well and see if its edited.
Pretty sure Goodfellas is one of them.
Goodfellas and Casino.
Impressive !
The pilot is pretty poor. By episode 3 things pick up. The part of the show that works is the mob side. The homicide investigation of the week can be tiresome.
Thought some of the acting was poor mind especially from that head biker
Defo going to be sticking with it as it seems it as potential
Has it been getting a good response Stateside? Didnt want to search too much into it incase I stumbled across any spoilers.
It will likely not get a second season. The ratings in the age 18-49 demographic (which are really all that matter in US commercial TV) are low and not up to the usual standard CBS wants in order to renew a show for another season. The show is popular with people over 50, but advertisers do no care about that age group.
Not as much eyecandy as imwas expecting ( or hoping for) and what's going on with Carrie-Anne Moss legs ?
She should have been cast as a cowboy , I've never seen such a bow legged woman in all my years of ogling
She's also got the widest hips I've ever seen - she's a god damn freak of nature plus they seem to dress her to accentuate her odd shape .
Could she have suffered some real life injury? I noticed a scene in the pilot where she walks down 5 or so steps and is grimacing.
And no smoking in this series? Vegas casinos today are full of smoke, yet its 1960 in this series and not a single cigarette?
On another note, I did think it is similar to "Justified" hard nosed cowboy type bringing "law and order old style" to the masses.
I am sure the network forbade any depiction of smoking. Last year, the 1960's-set Pan Am, on a different network, was not allowed to show any smoking, because of a network policy against it.
Deadwood beats them all.
It will be compared with cable shows.
The Sopranos or Boardwalk Empre due to the mob connection.
Mad Men due to both being set in the 1960s.
The Shield as Michael Chiklis was brilliant as Vic Mackey and also steals the show here, great to see him again.
Brave move to attempt such a show given these comparisons will be made. A bit like when they did Commander in Chief, it was always going to be compared to the West Wing. CiC wasn't great but when compared to TWW is looked terrible.
Vegas seems pretty good for a network show. It's an unfair comparison to judge it against the Cable shows. Hopefully the ratings are just enough to survive another season.
