If you missed the pilot on the 27th, chances are it will repeat. It's also available in it's entirety on Youtube (see below). The series doesn't premiere until June 24th. Can't wait.

Looks pretty interesting. Downloading that 1st episode.

I really liked it. I like the lead actor - he's really got the socilly dysfunctional act down to a tee. The tech dialog is dead accurate. My fear is that it will be too technical for most audiences. Tech people are the least likely to watch on cable, and I doubt it will get good Neilson ratings.
Looking forward to the regular season while it lasts.

I enjoyed it.. I think it's got enough of a non-technical story line to appeal to "normal" people and keep them interested. It has a Fight Club/Donnie Darko kind of vibe..

Gonna have my wife watch it. She's always liked NCIS and other techie shows like Scorpion but agrees that it's not terribly believable.

Wife and I watched it last night. Reminds me a little of 24 the series with the gal Cloie (sp), and the new one Scorpion. Having a seasoned actor like Christian also helps. This will be one series I'll record and watch without the commercials on a later day.
