If there's a thread for this already my apologies, I didnt see one.

I watched the pilot last week, the show seems promising. It could go either way, I'll definitely give the show a chance.

A good, but maybe not a great pilot. I'll check out the next episode, but if Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad were all on at this time I have a feeling I would fall behind. The moments that it tries to be sort of transcendent and metaphorical and blah blah seem to fall a little flat each time. It's also a little too nicey-nicey when I think the story would be better suited if it was a little meaner and a little darker. It seems like it could be a very good show, but it might be just a little off in trying to find the perfect tone.

Yeah I'm not sold on the lead actor. The supporting cast seems alot stronger.

I'm going to give it a few more weeks, I'm not really feeling it yet but it looks to have enough potential.

They do need a "lights out" moment where nothing is as it seems.

Buddy of mine wrote for this show for the first season. He's now moved on to Shameless. I still haven't watched the show. But he's a damn fine writer. I stand by his work.

I think it's been ok, but I just dont like the lead actor. He's not pulling off this part.

I'm still watching but it's only mildly interesting. It's hard to want to support this show after they axed Terriers. The two shows aren't on the same level. If this show gets a second season after Terriers got killed it's just salt in the wound. Oh well.

I bailed on this show, I missed last weeks episode and with the Bruins playing a west coast game tuesday night I wont be watching this week either. I wanted to like this show, and I thought it had potential, but the lead actor wasnt pulling off the part to me and the father was the only likable character on the show. Leary's wife is about as off putting as a character can be, and not in the good way where you love to hate a compelling character.

I'm still with it, but I do understand all of mick's complaints. For me, though, it's just started to work better. good, but still not great.

OK, I don't watch a lot of real boxing, but I'm still pretty sure that the Leary-Morales fight at the end of Ep. 7 was the worst/least realistic boxing match ever in any movie or TV show ever. ever. It was really silly-looking.
