I like this show! The plot is different from anything else on, which makes it really interesting. However, since TV viewers tend to despise different or “edgy” programming, I have a sad sinking feeling that this will go the way of “Cane” and “Jonny Zero.” I hated how CBS and Fox refused to give those shows a fair shot at building a fan base before yanking them. Best of luck, Christian!
I really liked it! The actors/actresses are brilliantly cast and I really appreciated how they slowly unveiled the plot line. It is definitely fun watching Slater play the bad@ss but I also enjoyed seeing Henry come into his own by the end of the first episode. I will definitely tune in next week.
I love this show. The premise reminds me a little of the movie Total Recall but I really love this show.
I was actually impressed with the show. funny and action packed. A lot better than the hour long Ford commercial, I mean Knight Rider that is pure cheese.
Now watch NBC cancel it on us.
Looking forward to coming back.
I think this show really has potential long term. The concept is a lot closer to the literary Ludlum Jason Bourne/David Webb character than the films are and could really be interesting.
I really liked it! I loved the whole interplay with Mavis and when Henry saw where Edward lived. With my luck, it will get cancelled.
One thing i hate is when people comment on tv shows and say “The brits do it better…blah blah blah” I am not from Britain and dont see too much tv from there..so I havent see Jeckyl or Life On Mars brit style..so I will just enjoy what I do get to see..shows on the networks of USA.
I liked the show. I am just too afraid to really get into any new shows because when I do, they end up cancelled
i wasnt highly impressed. christian slater was good but i found the actual plot and writing of the show to be rather boring. will probably stick with it for a few episodes to see where it goes. but the writing does not compare at all to fringe or some of the other shows ive caught
Wake up America. Obama is a fraud, his socialist ways will be our downfall
Yes, this was a pretty damn decent show. I’ll definitely be back for more.
I was hesitant about watching it, firstly because of mixed reviews, and also b/c I was afraid the premise was going to be either too cheesy or too over the top. But as the pilot unfolded my liking for it grew more and more. I think they nailed it; it’s a perfect mix of action and humor. I loved the two different personalities’ reactions to the other man’s life. It was great. I’ll definitely be watching more.
I like it already, just from seeing the pilot. Which is more than I can say for the overrated Fringe. (At least the last episode of that show was finally better, here’s hoping that trend continues.)
I AM TWO PEOPLE!
One that thinks this show sucked and will continue to suck, and one that will watch it when no one else is around…
definitely good premise and first episode….
ive seen the brits show and im sorry they suck, and i could hardly understand what they were saying… the american version of brit shows are better…
i was surprised at the level of violence, and i love it…
im a republican, and im voting obama
lol..
I thought this show was all right. I think it had some good moments, but I’m not completely hooked. I’ll probably stick around a little while to see how it develops, though.
