Wanted (07/31)
 
So who is going to watch this? Starts tomorrow night.

Premise is that a group of agents from ATF, FBI, Police and other agencies team up as sort of a fugitive recovery squad in LA. Looks pretty cool, and it has Gary Cole as the lead. :up:

I did read that it has Josey Scott, the lead singer from Saliva in it. That's gonna be funny to watch.

Here's a link to the trailer that'll open up in Windows Media Player: mms://demand.stream.aol.com/turner/g...d_bts_300k.wmv

I'm watching it for Lee Tergesen, though I think he doesn't appear til the second episode.

I didn't even realize this was starting tonight. I'll TIVO it and check it out since I like Gary Cole.

Kinda formulaic, but not that bad. The camerawork was a little disorienting for me. Wasn't surprised to see someone die in the first episode, I figured that there would need to be a reason to get a replacement (Tergesen).

Thought it was pretty good. Gary Cole is the right kind of smartass for this type of role. Rashida Jones, as always, is :drool:

I was trying to remember where I remembered the ATF guy from. He was in the move The Ladykillers last year as the dumb guy.

He was also in Saving Pvt. Ryan the one that couldn't hear. "JIMMY RYAN?"
Now he's playing Jimmy.

Thought the ep was just OK so far. Have to see where it goes.
BTW, who was the hot ex-girlfriend?

The "Beast" character was horrible. Another tough-talking, bitchy D.A. I hope she is not on very often.

I thought this was pretty good. I will definitely be sticking around for future episodes.

I'm also a little sick of that tattooed bad guy. I thought maybe it was a nip/tuck crossover.

The sped up camera tricks were also not too cool.

Overall I'd give it a B.

Pretty good show. Will have to keep watching to see where it goes.

I thought it was good.

Always good to see Rashida Jones:drool:

The rapport between her and Cole just seems too hackneyed

that would explain "Click Click Boom" by Saliva in the 'trailer' for the second episode..

pretty good show..I'll stick around..

I thought so too, I have only been familiar with his characters from "Office Space" and the "Brady Bunch" movies - I see him as being more comedic than dramatic.

and, "Taken" and "Remember the Titans"... he and Lee Tergesen are the two reasons I am watching the series.

I've seen that guy in so many things, and he's always played a villain. I guess when you look like that, priest or congressman is out. :)

Just got a chance to watch this, and it was pretty good. Cole made a great team leader, but I agree with the other posts in that Ryan Hurst stole the show as the ATF guy. His father played Deputy Cletus Hogg in The Dukes of Hazzard, and was also in a lot of other TV shows and movies.

How cool is this show!

Could have done without the child rape part of the story

How hot was the villian's ex girlfriend ! damm!

What's the name of the actress who played her ?
