hank213 1,823 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I just watched the re-broadcast of the first episode. Kind of a mish-mish of other PI type shows (Macguyver and the equalizer sprang to mind quickly) but has enough differences to make it worthwhile. The lead carries off a dead pan sarcasm pretty well, which I find quite entertaining. All in all a pretty decent show, especially for summer fare. Hopefully, it'll have some legs.

runthemover 39 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 yea. I thought this first episode was not bad. i'll be watching this and hoping they make it worthwhile.wth is the world coming to when USA has a lot of great pretty good shows.originals. Burn Notice, Monk, Psych. I hear people like the Dead Zone and 4400 (Never seen those)reruns. Law & Order SVU and CI, House Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 It's funny, that guy was in Hitch, and when I saw him in that I thought to myself he would play a great spy character. I love these kind of characters and thought the show was decent. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I used to have a massive crush on Gabrielle Anwar (back in the If Looks Could Kill, Scent of a Woman years), but she really looks like a truck hit her in this show. The accent isn't helping anything either, just irritating. The show is pretty good though, I kinda like the whole "Spy by Numbers" aspect where he basically teaches us junior terrorists how to wreak havoc. Very MacGyver. Link to post Share on other sites
cuddlemonkey 0 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Any show that casts Bruce Campbell as the womanizing drunk is fine by me. Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Just watched the second episode. I like this show a lot. Link to post Share on other sites

The accent isn't helping anything either, just irritating.well she got rid of the accent in the second episode.I like this show even more after watching the second episode. hopefully it's becomes a recurring trend. bruce campbell is shining like always. the pants bit was a good laugh for a second.

Jadaki 1 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The only thing really annoying me about this show is the constant stop motion they use in every single shot. If they would lay off that little technique a bit I think it would flow a little better. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Did the Mom get recast?Pretty good second episode, hope the show sticks. Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Tonight was probably the weakest ending I've seen on this show, but I still really like it. I hope it makes the cut. Link to post Share on other sites
gkunit20 1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I like this show. Much better than both 4400 and Dead Zone. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Good show, I have high hopes for it, but it does have a week premise to say this ultra spy would stay locked to Miami and wait for his clues to the burn notice to come to him during spy conventions and such. Hope they drop this direction and get him to like the free lance side. Link to post Share on other sites
two-headedboy 0 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I haven't watched every episode because I'm too lazy to look up when it airs, but I saw the first two and liked it. I have no idea what they're talking about though when they do the spy stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

Hope they drop this direction and get him to like the free lance side.IIRC the reason he's staying in Miami was because they threatened his family if he didn't stay where they could keep an eye on him.bump for theraflu Link to post Share on other sites

Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 When is this coming back on? I think I remember hearing it was the highest rated USA show or highest in it's time slot or something. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 When is this coming back on?

Ron_Mexico 4,230 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I just took a suggestion from someone and started watching this show this week. Of course, USA did me a solid and I've watched 6 episodes this week. I started off just so so on it, then by the middle of the second episode, I was hooked. Excellent show and I do like the spy by the numbers aspect.Cool show Link to post Share on other sites

I actually kind of thought you would since the lead has the sarcasm a la VM. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,230 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I tried to see if it was on USAnetwork.com and it wasn't. then, I drove to Blockbuster to rent it and they didn't have it either. I'll continue my search, but I don't want to buy it. I'm against buying any DVDs anymore. I will see these eps though Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,230 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I just watched the first 4 or 5 episodes on Hula. Their format works for me. Now I'm frightened that I'm going to start watching lots of shows from that website. I saw they have a bunch of Arrested Development episodes. I may have to see what all the talk is about, but I'm afraid that I'm not cool enough for school on that one. Thank you Henry187. Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,230 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I believe the new episodes start January 22nd.I watched the whole first season and half the second on Hulu a while back, but on New Year's Eve, USA aired 11 episodes in row from the first season, all except the pilot.I tivoed then watched them all by the end of New Year's Day.
