Man I was really looking forward to show as I rarely get into TV shows but that first installment was a complete dud for me. It didn't seem to offer anything new or exciting to a concept that's been done many times before. I'll give it a few more shows to see if it changes but after last night not too hopeful.
The thing is, it was actually not bad in execution. But the utter lack of originality made it all so very dull.
Release this ten years ago, it might've been huge.

What's worse, it appears the lead criminal dude (can't remember his name now) is going to be a recurring character, meaning we're going to get some kind of lame humanizing backstory that is going to make my teeth hurt.
The writers and producers need to pull something out of their sleeves FAST, if this show is going to survive.
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.
