I just looked it up on IMDb because Hazelita told me she watched it. It was "created by" Chicago's very own David Mamet, so I am sure that it is excellent......Jake

Yes, I saw it. It was pretty good. It's got a good cast: Robert Patrick as the commander (bastard!), Scott Foley as the new guy in the Unit (I used adore this guy from 'Felicity') and Dennis Haysbert as the Unit leader. I was impressed with the female cast even though they were all unknowns (at least to me).
These guys are member of a special ops unit that get called on to go save the world from terrorism at a moment's notice then they come back to their families and report that it was just another "day at the office". Their wives are sworn to secrecy. Nobody can know what their husbands do for a living. How these guys manage to remain married is a mystery to me. It's too intense, watching the women worry about their men.
To top it all off, the commander (Robert Patrick) sends them off to do the dirty work while he sleeps with their wives (OK, well just one of them). He's a scum bag.

The new guy's wife pissed me off.
I did like how they pretty much ignored the FBI and the other government a-holes. Got to get the job done!

Seen it, Was a pretty good show. Kind of reminds me of NBC's E Ring.
With NCIS as the lead in show it should do okay for a while.

Nice Jake  How surprising that they want to try to prosecute the team for saving the hostages.  |

Is anyone else following this show? Last night was good... I thought for sure that the character Bobby was a dead man when he got stuck south of the border.

I watched the first episode and like it a lot (except for the whiny wife). I started to watch the 2nd episode but a phone call from someone I adore made me turn it off. I never saw it again.

I really think this is going to end up being a good show. Following NCIS makes it nice. Bobby is one of the main characters and he has the whinning wife so I think he will stay for a while. Joe. |
