Raines

I looked to see if there was a thread for this, but didn't see one.

So did anyone else watch this show last night? I like the idea of this show, but it wasn't nearly as entertaining as it could've been. On the other hand, Jeff Goldblum is awesome, and he managed to make the character pretty believable.

I was very afraid it would suck when I first heard the concept a while ago, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's certainly not the greatest or most original show ever but it was pretty good nonetheless. But then I'd watch Jeff Goldblum read a phonebook so maybe I'm a bit biased.

Saw it. Enjoyed it. Definitely looking forward to next week's episode.

Heroes became my favorite new show of this season. Raines has a very good chance of moving right into second place.

I thought it was dreadful. Just how broke is Jeff Goldblum?

Hasn't the whole psychic/medium/ghost talker thing run its course yet?

I didn't know anything about this show and just happened to tune in last night - I really enjoyed it. Jeff Goldblum always plays a weirdo, but for some reason he's a damn appealing weirdo.

I hope this one sticks around. It IS another play on the whole ghosts/psychic/whatever thing, but I do like the twist that these people are just hallucinations, and are entirely in Raines' imagination.

And I'm completely slow - I had absolutely no idea that his old partner was a hallucination until it was revealed at the end.

I actually did guess that part, but then I got mad because I ddn't want him to be. The sixth sense twist has become a cliche.

I caught the last few minutes of this, so I caught the partner reveal and thought that might be the most engaging part of the show. I'm still undecided. I watch Medium and Monk, why do I need to watch a hybrid of the two?

I like how his partner asked why he had to walk around with a cane when he got shot in the head. Funny. But I am afraid that this show may become too 6th Sense for its own good. Does anyone know the song that was playing on the CD? I rather liked it.

What I like about this show is that he doesn't have sixth sense he has hallucinations. He knows they are hallucinations and knows that he's slightly crazy. I love how the hallucinations change as he gets more information about the victim.

Who is the blonde that supports him back at the station? I know I have seen her before and it doesn't hurt that she is kind of cute.
