I finally watched this on my DVR and I really liked it. Another weekly procedural police show but I really liked the characters (especially Damien Lewis') and the idea that he is still working on figuring out who framed him.

I didn't find Lewis likable. He is too Detective Gorenish for my liking.

Yeah, we liked that part too, reminded me of the scene last season in House where an awakened coma patient saw House's I-Pod and was like, "what's this thing with ipod written on it?".

I liked it, as did my fiance, who said it made him think of a cross between "Law and Order" and "Burn Notice". Interesting that they LET him be back on the police force, but I can see him wanting to be back on, so he has access to info.

At the end, when the convict guy was frantically confessing so that they wouldn't make him go back in the prison, I was distracted for a minute and didn't see if they took him out or let him be dealt with by the dead boy's father?

I was not disappointed w/ this one - possibly my favorite new show.

I'll watch it until it gets the axe.

Out of all the new shows that I watched so far, this is by far, my favorite one.

Would a CEO who was convicted of insider trading really be in the same prison, let alone being able to associate with, a convicted murderer doing life?

Just caught this through Hulu. I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't predictable and it kept me interested throughout. I actually found the ending more interesting than bullk of the episode itself.

Since S2 was picked up I'll probably finish up S1 through Netfix when I have some time.
