I watched the first episode, liked it but it screamed cancellation so the rest are on my "If it survives" pile. I'd like to see that happen, and would happily use it for filling the summer drought. Unfortunately the bubblewatch has been predicting it's cancellation for a while, and the cancellation bear has it as "certain to be cancelled by May, 2014"
one agent with a very special gift - you can hear the warning bells
a microchip - hello? This is 1980 calling: can we have our concept back please?
Director of ... said: high-tech, breathlessly paced, exciting - so we can assume in reality it is none of those
[a suit, who's possibly never seen a single episode] for The Walt Disney Company, added: intrigue, drama, and a strong cast - or those?
irresistible storytelling - now you're just takin' the mick!
In all, the summary has the sound of desperation in it. The plot doesn't sound great and really doesn't sound at all original. The cast has no-one I've ever heard of (though, TBF I never pay much attention to the names of people in shows) and I can't think of any shows from Disney that I've considered worthy of the time taken to watch them.
In summary: one to avoid. Maybe I'll come back later and see what the forum makes of it.
I've just watched it via U.S pace and thought it was ok, bit cheesy in parts, it's a bit of a cross between Jason Bourne and Chuck (without the humour).
As I said it was ok and kept me tuning in each week but it's only 13 episodes and I doubt it will be renewed for a second season.
Anyway watch it if you like and make your own mind up.
one NOT to watch again! Thumbs down!
Yes I think you mean Marg Helgenberger 'Lillian'.
She was a bit miscast IMO. Had very little personality.
The show wasn't bad but it just felt 'soulless'.
The problem for me was that it implied from the trailers it was going to be something so much more, gritty something to keep you going back, perhaps in the vain of shows like 24.
Thanks for that, I thought she was very wooden.
I was amazed though that it took until ep 2 for Josh to get his top off...
I'll probably continue to watch if I'm home and there's nothing better on.
They had a tick box of stuff to do and cancellation will be fully deserved.
You took away hrs of my life "intelligence"......
exactly, but actually not being a humourous diversion ..... they might be phoning in their performances, but the visualisations are the stuff driving this!
and it's actually LIKABLE in it;s own way, i like it slightly more the XIII
The obsession with including improbable advanced technology is too much the driving force and often at the expense of the story or characters.
That was a fun show before the wheels came off!
This show is like a charmless/poor man's 'Person of Interest'. Can't warm to the lead actor in this at all. I'm out.

Josh getting his top off is the only reason to watch it
Even the threat of that wasn't enough to hold my interest in ep3 :(
