This has to be one of the cleverest new shows I have ever seen.

It seems ABC sends better shows to ABCFamily than to regular ABC. I gave up on cable last month, but I bet I'd enjoy this.

I was really hoping it would be good, but the pilot stank. To me, it was a cheap, crappy Americanized comedic version of The Avengers + The X-Files, with a lot of fast, trendy dialogue. The actress in the co-star role was terrific; the guy was clumsy.

The idea had a lot of promise, but the execution left me cold. It also looks like a cheap Canadian show shot on videotape (which it is). Real low-budget for network TV.

Strictly my opinion. But watch the above two shows if you want to see a similar idea done better.

Because the idiots who buy programming for TV this side of the pond are idots, it's not been on over here.

I heard some good things about it, and I liked Men In Black, so I took a chance and bought the DVD set. I've watched the first two and I'm loving it! :righton:
