I got a free download from iTunes, via Starbucks, for this show. I was not entirely sold on the teasers, but I decided to give it a chance. I was really surprised, I really enjoyed the character development and interaction. The acting is good, but not great. I am hoping that it is just first episode jitters and will work itself out. They have me waiting for episode 2, and with the amount of six degrees situations I am sure it will take a few episodes to fully see the entire picture, maybe even the first season. Give it a chance, could be the one everyone is talking about, similar to Lost 2 years ago. This should be a welcomed addition to my tivo season pass, hoping it is in HD.
