I added this thread into the Master List.

[Aikaterini]

And there we were discussing when exactly we should open such a thread.
Thanks for opening this! I'm really looking forward to this show. The trailers I've seen looked very promising, so I'm sure it will be a good show.

[~DresdenDoll~]

Thanks for opening the thread! Like Kate said we were so busy discussing when to open that we actually didn't open it

I must admit I thought I was gonna watch it only because Gale's in but after seeing some previews it looks much better than I thought. I definitely see potential here


For anyone interested here is the show's 3 minutes long preview.

[Lennie1984]

Thanks for the preview - i am a bit gutted that since i live in the UK, i wont be able to watch it, hopefully i can read the episode guides on the net and so on and hopefully we get this in the UK

Also ppl might say this is like Without A Trace - but i find it different coz all throughtout the series they are just concertrating on this one case about the missing wife - which is intriguing.

[~DresdenDoll~]

Oh I have good news for you - it was picked up by Five if I remember well.

Here is the article

Actually I've heard more comparisons with 24 than Without a Trace.
