Anybody watching this show? I recorded the first 3 episodes. The first two I thought were really good. This last one at the russian embassy was just ok. They keep getting more and more implausible every week but that's ok as long as I'm interested. I like the opening credits, it has a cool 70's feel. i like the fact that jackie earl haley is in it from bad news bears fame. any show that casts kelly leak gets an automatic 2 stars in my book. its like getting points for signing your name on the sat. this guy disappears for 30 years and in a couple years gets nominated for an oscar and now is on a series with 3 movies in production.
 
I like it so far - haven't seen last night's episode yet. I really liked Mark Valley in "Keen Eddie" - apparently I was one of like 20 people that did...

That's Kelly Leak??? Wow, I wondered where I'd seen that guy before! I had settled on "Tom Petty Cover band" lead singer.
 
Seems to be hitting a lot of the same notes as Leverage, except that it is better. They've got a lot of room to work with, but they (1) seem like a show which is destined to be a mid-season 1 and done, and (2) need to figure out if they are doing edgy or cutesy. Lots of elements in the pilot suggested they were going edgy (the main character letting an innocent man be poisoned / JEH threatening the kill thugs) but then play most of Episode #3 like it is Chuck. I'm sure that is because of Fox's notes, but they need to lay off if they want the show to do well.
 
I really wanted to like this but the scene in the 1st episode where he is fighting the bad guy when they have guns is just too much for me. Why box when you can shoot, the bad guy had already been firing at them....dumb
