Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen, Amy Smart, Simon Baker (hottie alert!) and Johnny Lee Miller (excuse the spelling?) and yet, it was so dull!!
I actually took an extended computer break about 3/4 the way through.
I hope they pick up the pace next week. Boring.

Damn! Jonny Lee Miller? I had no idea. I would have watched it had I known he was on it.

When is this on? I wanted to catch it and missed it! Simon Baker was awesome on The Guardian. So hot.

I just checked and CBS has it premiering Tuesday the 19th. I just watched it in Toronto, seems we're getting things a day or two earlier??

I really liked "Heist" with Dougray Scott and was hoping this would be more of the same, but it wasn't nearly has fun or clever (and "Heist" was axed pretty quickly).

I also hated how they stole the opening music from "The Inside Man" and just threw it in there for no reason. I love the music, but it didn't work in this case.

Excellent! I can still watch it then!

The previews make it look like it's a big romanticization of living a heinous life of crime. Is that what the show is like?

I sure could go for a Simon Baker and Jonny Lee Miller sandwich though.

Swanflake, ITA about Simon Baker and Johnny Lee Miller. Yum.

By the way... I am loving your avatar.

Well, Swanflake, you would've loved the wrasslin' scene with Miller and Baker.

I thought it was a little bit ponderous, too, and more than a bit ludicrous -- in terms of Liotta being able to cover for all the side-jobs at his office -- but the last 15 minutes were twisty enough and, by the end, when he looks in on his kids, there's no whitewashing the fact that he's not a good guy. I'll give it at least one more shot.

And I will never, ever be able to get over the way Liotta looks like he's always wearing eye liner.

Simple, sad fact: I saw this thread title and thought, "They made a show about Hugo Weaving's character in The Matrix? Cool; I'd watch that!" But I guess not. I also surmise that this is only available to you lucky Canadians.

Pout. How come we Yanks never get to watch Jonny Lee Miller wrestle?!

Tonight on CBS.

And I'm hoping some of the ginormous plot holes, like the woman Amy Smart assaulted and then... left, will come back to haunt the characters, not the series.
