Saw the first five episodes and I gotta say that I like it. It's not as good as last years excellent "Line of Fire" that was cancelled for some stupid reason. Stupid ABC executives. I sure hope they bring on some more dynamics between the cast in this one, as it's seriously lacking so far. The characters just aren't very interesting somehow. We have barely got to know them, and none of them seems to have any quirks we can like or dislike. That's what's needed. They've covered some pretty cool topics, from the Riemann Hypothesis to a leathal disease on the loose. It's produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, the famous directors, but I sure can't see their hands in anything. Seems to me they've only lent their names to this series, or have they sold out? The writers have done a good job researching stuff, but somehow that plots are almost infantile and the conclusions invariably stupid and they don't feel realistic at all. They should be able to do much better. I hope it picks up in the coming episodes, which I'll try to watch tomorrow.
