A do over, after we get old and wise.... That's something that everyone thinks about after 30 or more years of experience in life. The saying goes something like, most people live until they're 75, but die at the age of 25... This show looks like it's going to rock. I can't wait for new episodes. Two thumbs up.

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

This was one of those few shows that I'd justify binging. Steady pace, awesome acting by the primary cast with a very progressive yet subtle plot line. I do hope Fox would bring back the show for another season!
