Anyone else catch the premiere? I thought it was pretty good for a standard 3 guys/2 girls group of good guys fighting corrupt businessmen. And I like the slant they put on it where every episode they're helping out the little guys who got screwed by "the man". It feels like Burn Notice, but with more characters. My only dislike is the suspension of disbelief needed to get past the obviously overdone badassness of the blonde guy and the hacker guy who is your steriotypical token black man. They use that same hacking copout that I hate also. Just have him ram his fingers over the keyboard and BAM, "access granted" and directories appear on his laptop. I wish mine could do that.

And I would totally plow the two female main characters.

This show is win just for making Lindsay from Angel a main character...
While Burn Notice is a tad more realistic as well as explains how to do shit (Which a lot of that stuff WILL actually work) this will fill that void in my life until Burn Notice returns just nicely.

...which is probably rather more than we needed to know >_<' .

Yeah, does it have the MacGyver-ish feel of Burn Notice, too? Because if so, that'd be fantastic.

Wait, is plow finally coming back into the vernacular? Sweet.

But yeah, Kroze pretty much nailed it, a good bit of Burn Notice methadone but nothing spectacular.

However, the "That makes me cry inside my angry place" line I could do without.

This sounds like one of those shows I'm perpetually angry because they should make it but don't.

I'll have to go watch it now so I can find something wrong with it, reconfirming my prejudices.

I'm liking tonight's episode. "This is shrimp you stupid f..."

Some of the extras can't act. And every character's specialties are completely exaggerated. But, I'm still liking it.
