Fairly lightweight stuff. It is meant to be kind of fluffy and fun while still being a drama as opposed to a comedy. To stay interested, I think a person really has to just like following the exploits of the main character, and I find her pretty likable. More likable than interesting, really.
Looking forward to this - got it series linked already. Loved "Alias" which, I s'pose, is the closest comparison but then I don't mind a bit of light and fluffy as well - worked well for me with Franklin and Bash.
Watched the pilot tonight and once i stopped mentally (and unfairly) comparing to alias i rather enjoyed it!
Agree with the comments that Annie is definately likeable and that's enough for me, that and i like christopher gorham and have seen him in a few things now

I was (fairly) comparing it to 'Chuck'.
Very enjoyable.
Not keen on the advert bumpers for it all the time.
We get it, it's on Really, we are watching it, on Really, so we know it's on Really.
Enjoyable stuff. Pilot episode is repeated next Friday at 10:55pm for anyone who missed it and wants to catch it - on the Really channel as you may have gathered.

Is it really on Really?
I was watching it on Really, but I wasn't really sure. The 'Really' DOG didn't really inform me it was Really.
Good to know it is repeated though as I don't have a freeview recorder.

BTW
It's on Really
I wish they'd do a crossover episode with Burn Notice since they are both about the CIA and are on USA Network. Michael running from Annie would be fun and Annie vs Fiona and Augie vs Jesse could make things interesting. Maybe Ben Mercer worked with Michael in the past? Really a missed opportunity.
Have to say, I really (sorry couldn't resist it) enjoyed this show, I do have to question why its on this channel tho. I find it hard to believe one of the bigger UK channels hasn't picked it up by now, (are they on the third series in the US ?.) I only stumbled across it by chance whilst watching the 'good food' channel, up until then I'd never heard of 'really'.
So that leads me to ask, is it wasted on this nobody channel and would viewing figures be higher on let's say 'sky1hd' ?

Bought and watched the first season boxed set ages ago. Yes, it's good and it's get better and better as the season progresses. Will definitely get S2 when it's available in the US.
I enjoy this show more than I probably should! Annie and Augie are great characters and the actors portrayal helps just lift this above the level of fluff it would be otherwise
I watched this last night, I thought it was quite a good opener to the show, I enjoyed it, a good balance between the light-heartedness and the serious, fairly good acting from the characters, and a good plot to follow with the hint to mystery too.
I wouldn't compare it to either Chuck or Alias other than to say they deal with spying. The rest of the comparison just doesn't really fit. The show is too serious to be compared with Chuck, which has more emphasize to comedy than the drama. And the show seems more realistic than Alias (realistic might not be the best word) and seems less focused on the fact that it is a female agent and more focused on the agent bit. I like Alias I just think this show has a little more grounding in our reality rather than the JJ Abrams reality.
What kept surprising me is the "You're watching really" advert with Chris Gorham his voice seems so much deeper than any of the characters he plays it kept freaking me out slightly
Comments
Having Piper and Chris Gorham in one show together is a good combination, loving them as Annie and Auggie
I recommend this

Yes, I loved it too.
A lot of my fave female actresses in it; plus Chris too, of course but I don't fancy him as much Really
I see her more as a female 'Chuck' than a less serious 'Sydney Bristow'.
The main difference being that her skills have been learnt rather than uploaded by the intersect.

It's only on the 2nd season in the States.
I agree though it is out of the way on Really.
It's the same with 'Community' on Viva.

I'm glad it isn't as those are on pay tv.
I think they are trying to get more people to watch Really, as they have the OC and Being Human and Greys Anatomy recently.

But a good show, recommended to my cousins
I have watched up to ep 12 of the second season and its ten times better than the first.
Other characters are more involved with the like of Joan, Aurther and Jay becoming season regulars as apposed to being recurring!
A good show and ratings are doing well in the states so I think we will def get a season three.
Was renewed for a third season in September along with White Collar being renewed for a fourth
Happy Days
Indeed!
Of course, more of Ms Perabo (or even Kari Matchett) in less clothing would be a bonus
