I think that there is potential, but some of the primary actors haven't even been introduced in the first two episodes. It will be interesting to see how the writers continue to develop the characters.

1. Confusing plot. One is always wondering what the Hell is happening.

2. Tangled character development. Are we supposed to care about these characters? So much unpleasantness.

And worse of all:
3. It's a fucking bait and switch. The first episode isn't a complete story. It leaves you hanging mid plot (such as the plot is, or isn't). One has to pay CBS to subscribe to the rest of the series!

Well, where I live there is no Cable TV or broadband INet, so I couldn't see it even if I wanted to. Quick answer: I wouldn't watch another episode if it was free.

It was rubbish.
