TV, these days, is TRASH! This, albeit overly Eurocentricly charged as just about any average "super hero" fictional character, at least as a bit of hope; especially w that resurrection-worthy leading lady...my Lord she's quite lovely! Oh, and the plot seems promising enough. - Hymn

Definitely an interesting premise. Perhaps a 2-hour premier rather than a 1-hour pilot would have been more appropriate, though. The plot felt over-condensed. Good job on the marketing, though.

It's too bad that this follows Fox practices of including ads... I might have bought the season instead of just the free pilot.
