Author: Mark Overklift from Netherlands

This is an awesome series. It just caught my attention and it didn't let go... Hmmm once, almost. At the end of the second episode, I thought everything ended so suddenly, the writers realized they were out of time. (Creators, feel free to comment on that one).

The characters are good, I hope they keep on fooling around like that, having fun together. There is enough diversity, all are likable, no irritations whatsoever concerning certain characters. Ron Livingston is a living hero (since office space, confirming his abilities in band of brothers). His counterpart Emily (Rosemarie DeWitt) is definitely cute and worth watching too ;) And it's not an accident she's a bit jealous of her boss and Matt's ex-partner (Gina Torres).

Tell me where I can get a cute tank-top bulletproof vest like that for my girl, i bet she would like it, tho it doesn't help you much from getting shot in the gut. Well, at least Matt is pretty well protected.

Good undercurrent. Playful, full of humor and a good constant conflict of interest with the HRT about whether to talk or use violence etc.

If you like series like Prison Break, CSI (LV, Miami, NY), John Doe, etc. and have a sense of humor, you're gonna love this.

This one is definitely a good one. But then again, so was John Doe and they canceled it after 1 season (still don't know why).
