    Lively, action-opacked and falls just the right side of ludicrously implausibly plotted.

    This show is terrible. The characters have been idiots from the start of this predictable and very unbelievable plot against them by unknown forces of evil. How unimaginative can the creators of these shows be? Does anyone writing for tv have an original idea anymore?

    I have just a few words to describe this show--boring, unoriginal, and lacking in depth.

    I was bored at work and thought watching this on the ABC website would help me pass the time... wrong! It was boring and unoriginal and the characters were dull and predictable.

In a comedy you are meant to laugh at their immaturity and their idiocy--in a "fugitives from justice" TV show, it just makes them unlikable and stupid. After about fifteen minutes I started thinking, man, maybe I should get back to work, that might actually be more interesting and engaging than this show...… Expand

    Very good premise. I like the way the writers are trying to expose a real American problem with dangerous secret societies. The Yale (New Haven CT) is a very good plot establishing location for that problem. Try to remember what Sen. Inouye (D-HW) said about such things during the 1980's Iran Contra hearings...

    It is the only show, other than the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, that I make plans to watch during the week. The conspiracy theories, the scenes, the acting: everything works for me. I have seen four episodes and still have not idea "who done it". I find all three main characters compelling. Yeah, the two are a bit dense when it comes to fleeing the FBI. Who wouldn't be?!!

My only fear, after last night's episode, is that it will morph into an alien plot. There is enough paranoia in the country with Bush/Cheney in charge, that the show doesn't need to add the deus ex machina plot device of evil aliens.… Expand

    This show, to me, is the next 24. It seems to have all of the intensity, as well as a good plot (judging from the first two shows. I look forward to the rest of the season.

    I LOVE this show. It contains elements from "The Fugitive," but yet is nothing like a copycat of it. The circumstances are very different. I came across this show by accident. I was getting ready to turn the channel because I wasn't really in the mood for a drama, but this one caught my attention within the first few minutes and I haven't missed an episode since.

    Technically speaking, the show was very professional. ON the creative end, however, it fell flat. Neat premise -- just wholly unbelievable. Cool setup -- but so was "The Fugitive", which it resembles... badly. It tries so desperately to be clever and hip and as conspiracy-driven as, well, every other action show on tv that it forgot a few things, like sympathetic characters and Technically speaking, the show was very professional.

    You have to suspend an awful lot of disbelief to buy into this premise, and even at that the protagonists aren't nearly compelling enough to care a lot about.

    It's all very tense and fun, underscored by sirens and ominous techno music, shot in that popular, over-caffeinated jumpiness that here at least makes sense.
