Was debating heavily whether or not to do this as a season thread or episode thread. But, since it's based on a relatively popular movie and it has the science fiction hook to it, I'll do it as episode threads.

The buzz is negative.
I'm going to pass on this one.

I will check this out. I liked the movie and the concept. I hope it gets a better treatment than Almost Human.

Its set in the tivo. Can always delete it later, but I enjoyed the movie enough to give this a shot.

I'm in to start.
Love the movie and just hope they don't screw it up too much.
Speilberg seems to be involved so that might help.

Almost Human was only partly a procedural. If Minority Report has some sort of overarching story lines I may give it a try.

Is this series in direct continuity with the movie? Perhaps we'll finally find out whether the ending was all a dream or not.

I was looking forward to this since I enjoyed the movie, but the show felt too light hearted and amateur to me.
Almost Human did it better.
Will not continue to watch

Loved the movie and thought the first episode was OK. I'll stick around for a few more episodes.

Not bad, but not great either. Setup has some potential. I personally liked Almost Human better and that kicked it into gear right off the bat with the chemistry between the leads and the humor. I like Meagan Good (she looks good in the leather), but Stark Sands is a little too goofy to me to be taken seriously as a male protagonist. We'll see how things go. Looks like they spent some money on this show, but I'm curious to see how future episodes look. The most money is usually spent on the Pilot. These kind of genre shows don't come around too often, so I'll continue to support it for now.

unfortunately, this is going to be DOA.
It drew an overnight audience of 2.3 in households which is pretty bad. The demos haven't come out yet.
