I am so impressed! Intelligent, fun and (redundant) not smutty or vulgar. Great acting, storyline, writing. Just wonderful. Love it. It even had a few touching moments and (gasp!!!) a little bit of morals thrown in - like it's normal. Shh... we won't tell. PS. Please don't ruin it with 'sexiness'. I've got my own sex life, I don't need anyone else's. And I don't want to check out women's cleavage or even thighs either for that matter. Most of us either have our own, or availability of real ones in person - honest! 'Numbers' had me until episode 6 then down the tubes. Not wanting to end on a negative note, let's review: Impressive, smart, well-written, apparently aware men and women have decreased satisfaction and happiness with sexualized women present (there's some science for ya.) Did I mention the great storyline, writing, direction and actors who can actually act? PPS. Amazon, your writers for your 'gritty police procedural' pilot might want to pay attention to how it's done. PPPS. Hey, while you're out in the parking lot, FIND Ashley Judd's MISSING for us and bring her back too -even improved maybe- from that other network? PLEASE! Cause you hit it out of the park!

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.
