Wow! What a great show. I hope it gets picked up for the whole season. I like the story line and this show might be ABC's nexts big show. The only real compostion it will have is Close To Home on cbs but this show should beat it. This is a great series.

I fell in love with this show. The episode was well written and the cast plays off each other wonderfully. I was mainly interested in this show because I'm a fan of Jason O'Mara. After seeing the rest of the cast last night I'll be looking forward to seeing them again and again. I like the way this show mixes everything up. You get your crime drama fix, with a little bit of humor and also get to look into the personal lives a little. Everything had just the right mix. The case was intersting and I love the way Swain was obsessing over the sound until he finally figured it out, the look on the intern's face when he was checking the brief case was priceless. The playful banter between Sonya, Brianna and Jon is definitely worth watching. I can't wait to find out a little more about Conti and his ex Charlotte, the scene with the priest was amusing and then afterwards the good old "Catholic guilt" gets her to do him a favor. The best thing about the show of all is Swain and Conti together. They do a great job and really make it work. I can't wait until Friday and another episode. Way to go ABC.moreless
