I really like it so far!

Me too, but I love James Spader, so I'm not surprised.

Yes, love him.

I've heard about it. What channel is it on and what is it about?

It's on NBC Mondays at 10:00 p.m.  Former operative goes criminal, evades arrest for 20 years, turns himself in and insists on working with only one particular (young, female) FBI profiler.  Pilot was very Silence of the Lambs but (or therefore) quite a good show.  I love James Spader so I'd watch it just to see him be sleazy but it's better than just a James Spader showpiece.

I want to but I'm so afraid of new shows. I've gotten burned too many times!

I really like it so far. His character cracks me up. I made DH watch the pilot after I did and he is hooked. Hopefully it sticks around for a while.

I like it too. Does anyone else think he is Lizzie's dad and she just doesn't know it yet? I just get that feeling. But it also reminds me a little of Alias and there were so many fucked-up twists in Alias lol.

This was H's theory after yesterday's episode. It makes sense.

I feel like him being her dad is too obvious. I thought of that in the first 5 minutes and just don't think they'd make it that easy.

It's our new favorite show.

[chittybangbang]

I'm waiting for some plot twist that reveals that he is not Lizzie's father. Because otherwise they blew the big reveal like 5 minutes in.

I'm also thinking the husband is CIA but that could be because I've been watching a lot of Covert Affairs lately.

[BaliHai]

Yes, I love it! It seems really good so far, and I get to watch James Spader for an hour, so win-win.

Eta: I also hope he's not her Dad, though that's the impression I keep getting. It would be really lame to have basically blown that in the pilot episode.

[beautifulfields12]

He is absolutely Lizzie's father. I am sure of it. I like the show, but Lizzie makes me ragey. Her acting could be better.

[CurlyQ284]

I saw the pilot and was very meh about it.

[twodogsandababy]

We watched the first episode last night and liked it. It made me pretty anxious and I told H that I couldn't watch it right before bed when he tried to watch the second episode. I hope it sticks around. I think it was really well done.

We really like a lot, but I love anything with James Spader. We think he's Lizzie's dad's best friend or something like that. Him being her father is way too obvious.

I really want to love this show but not sure what more they can do week after week for a whole season. I'll stick with it and hope it can hold my attention and curiosity.

Definitely don't think he is Lizzie's father either. Somehow he knows the family but I highly doubt it's her father. That would be such a let down.

[poppyseed]

I don't think he's her dad. I think that would be too obvious. I can't wait to find out what's going on with her husband.
