This appears to be the best of the new retro series out this Fall. Major casting error though, they should have cast an older actor in the captain's role. In those days, you would never have seen airline pilot (captain) without at least a little gray on top. For me, it really takes away from the believability of the show.

Otherwise It's pretty compelling. I've only seen the pilot so far and hoping that the remaining episodes are just as intriguing. The espionage angle helps keep the show interesting and of course the eye candy is plentiful, naturally. However, the eye candy is only frosting, this is no Charlie's Angels, which in my opinion has no real substance. I hope that enough viewers will give it a shot to keep it around for more than 3 or 4 episodes.

It really is a shame that thought provoking programming for adults doesn't get a chance. This series was in a class with Grey's anatomy and E.R. The network really should have given it a chance to build an audience. The cast (w/Hope Davis, Campbell Scott, Erika Christensen, Zoe Saldana, Jay Hernandez and Bridget Moynahan) is one of the best I've seen in recent years. Recently, the networks have brought us a few good programs that are worthy of setting aside time to watch. This was certainly one of them. I couldn't wait to see how the writers would tie the next character into the mix. If anyone at the networks is listening, please reconsider. We grown-ups are starving for this kind of adult drama.
