I thought the first ep was decent enough, so I'll be watching tonight (and there is jack shit else on)

This is a fun show, but I won't be upset if it doesn't get renewed.
Anyone notice that the family's father was a prison guard on Oz? That's 3 Oz alumni so far on this show. Did one of the Oz creators make this show?

i think it's b/c it's a NY filmed show and they are drawing from NY based actors. sort of like how on L&O you'll see the same actors on the show multiple times, sometimes even in different roles.

I'm enjoying it. It's not the best show I've ever seen, but the Adam Goldberg-Harold Perrineau partnership alone makes it worthwhile.

One thing that bothers me is the actress playing the female cop. I know this show isn't meant to be that realistic, but I just don't buy her as a cop. She looks like she's 18.
I gave it 2 episodes and I think I'm done. I only watched it for the Oz alums, but that's not enough keep me watching. I think once Lost's season finishes this show is screwed. I said it last week in the Southland thread, but if The Unusuals cast (minus the female lead) would replace Southland's cast I think we would have a good on our hands (I've yet to watch this week's Southland).

I'm still enjoying it, but it's one of those shows that I catch a day or two later on abc.com when things are slow at work.. I agree about the Goldberg/Perrineu partnership though.
