Synopsis:

Spoiler:
An unexpected tip leads Detective Britten (Jason Isaacs) to an empty warehouse that was tied to a case he was investigating prior to the accident. His curiosity causes concern for Captain Harper (Laura Innes). Meanwhile, Hannah (Laura Allen) prepares for the move to Oregon. Bird (Steve Harris) and Britten investigate a mysterious suicide, while Detective Vega (Wilmer Valderrama) and Britten work on a 3 year-old homicide. Later, Dr. Lee (BD Wong) gives Britten the key to solving one of his cases while Dr. Evans helps him make a decision about the move. Dylan Minnette also stars.

Apparently 10pm is everyone's bedtime in this forum.

I'm watching this later today, but yet again Americans aren't watching 0.9 in the demos last night.

The show was mildly interesting but everyone is saying this show has little shot at being brought back with the ratings, so I dropped it. It's not worth wasting time on a show that is likely to be unfinished when it concludes.

And this is why the broadcast networks don't have any good shows.

Yeah I'm just gonna enjoy this while it lasts. Have been pleasantly surprised by it and didn't think I'd be watching anymore police dramas.

This is one of the best shows of the last years. It's not perfect, but if it survives, it can be one of the best second seasons ever.

Agreed. I'm loving this show. I hope a miracle happens and it gets a chance to finish properly, even if it does get canceled. It's truly great TV.

The more I watch it the more I like it... whether it gets cancelled or not, I hope it gets a proper ending.

I'm not sure I like the voices or Penguins ...

Also, Westfield is only an issue in one timeline but not the other? I don't recall the police capn getting calls in blue-world, only orange-world (or whatever we're calling them... ).

This show is really frustrating. At times, it reminds me of the original Life on Mars with it's overall vagueness and overarching plot mixed in with a smart "crook of the week". Other times its utterly predictable and lazy. I'm hoping for more hints about the overall plot soon.

I don't think I've been as polarized since Lost in terms of loving some episodes and absolutely hating others. My girlfriend will usually ask me to watch it from one of our DVRs and usually I accept grudgingly often to get really into the episode. Other times I'm like "why do I keep watching this".
