I expected Spader to be good, and he was excellent. The writing, direction, and acting was also very good, as was the special effects.

I also like the lead actress (sorry, don't know her name). Instead of the stereotypical overly-aggressive woman, who always snarks at her male partner, this character is smart, conflicted, tough, and manages to convey her strengths without being sarcastic and mean. I like her.

I hope this show can maintain this level; it is certainly a very intriguing premise.
