    o_O ..... yeeeaahhh

    The show's awesome. The personality of the crook character is spot on and amusing as shit. Best part of the first episode was them arguing in the car, with the felon giving relationship advice after reminding the FBI guy his anniversary was coming up.

    And goddamn, Kelly from Saved by the Bell got chubby and old. At least when she was on 90210 she was slutty hot.

    ^ This

    Neal had me cracking up the whole time, my favorite scene was when the FBI agent came and found him at the mansion and they were talking about it "If its that big of a deal I can find out where she gets her coffee from."

    I think they're trying a bit too hard to make Neil seem both badass and nice, but I still enjoy his character.

    It looks like it will be a fun show and I hope they don't push the detective to the side, he's a cool guy.

    Yeah, the pilot kicked ass.

    I don't think we should be too concerned with the detective being pushed to the side. He did remind us numerous times that he was the one who initially caught Neil. Hopefully we'll see more tangible examples of his badassery in future episodes.

    However, I will admit that I kept expecting to see Neil being called Bryce Larkin. Oh well, looks like he got out of Chuck just at the right time.

    Just watched this and loved it.

    The last time I liked a pilot episode of a series was Castle. Which this actually reminds me of. I know that I will definitely be watching the next episode. I'm already hoping it won't be canceled after this season.

    As for the detective, I am pretty sure he won't be pushed to the side. He needs to be there to balance out Neil.

    Agreed with the general consensus here. Another highly likable, entertaining show for USA. Bryce Larkin really seems perfect for this role. If anything, even an older and curvier Kelly Kapowski looks a little too Beverly Hills hot to be the understanding wife of an average-looking company man who forgets her and works too many long hours.

    Of course if an actress being too hot for a role is the only complaint I can think of, then the show's off to a pretty good start.

    I thought the part near the end with Neil smoking the cigar as the FBI raids the warehouse was the best part of the show.

    "You should arrest me."

    Friday's episode was better than the last couple. Showed more of Neal using his talents as a con man.

    Fuck a porky-faced Theissen; the lesbian and that other female agent are where it's at And Caffrey's wife (Kate?) needs to make an appearance soon.

    On the whole, the show has promise; they could've done far worse for a 'Starter Wife' replacement.

    Just found this, its pretty good even if Neil is a bit of the stereotype 'cheeky chap who is a good guy really' a couple of episodes to explore the characters should sort that out.

    I hope they build on the potential this show has.

    I think im the only one here who actually hasn't enjoyed this show as much as anything else. Overall, I really just think it tries too hard. The main gut is nothing more than a Gary Stu, the detective has an overly hot wife. Then it just tries to create drama drama drama. The whole wife anniversary thing was just eh.

    Watched two episodes, not gonna watch a third.

    So....wow, I have to say I was expecting a twist but I was fairly shocked

    So Peter is the bad guy holding Kate hostage? Theres got to be some deeper layer to this. All that aside though I was shocked, I completely did not expect that.

    Not bloody fair, I HATE cliffys like that at the end of a season.

    That being said I hope its more complicated that 'Peter is he bad guy OMG'

    Theories:

    Kate was undercover FBI and fell in love with Neil

    Kate went to Peter for help for some reason and couldnt tell Neil

    There is someone/ something big going to happen to Neil and she and peter is trying to protect him

    ..Or he could just be a evil basted
