I practically worship "Lie To Me," "Leverage" and "The Mentalist". Love the cast! However, the plot is kinda confusing. I'm not saying it's a bust. In fact, it's difficult for me to find a show or movie I can't predict. I see the people (characters), I see the conflict between them... I believe this show has potential. I both hate and appreciate the fact that I have to say "I hope I'm not disappointed." I look forward to more.
