"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Was anyone else watching this show?

I loved it. There was a lot going on, hard to follow sometimes, hard to figure out who's pulling levers and who's putting sand in the gears. It's slow at times, but cerebral, and then you'll get a flurry of activity, most of which you won't expect. No superheroes, no kung-fu masters, just folks trying to figure out where the next attack will come from, and who will be behind it, and who stands to gain.

I wish the season finale had wrapped things up a bit better, but I'll definitely be watching if/when it comes back.

Loved the show's tagline, too: "Not every conspiracy is a theory."

I liked it. Dense. Well written. Well acted. They got a lot of NYC stage actors and turned them loose with some decent scripts. That was fun to watch. Eventually it all comes together. Hope it gets a second season.

Episode 1 looked really good, but it was on hulu on a one-time basis, and we don't get AMC. Darn.

There will probably be a DVD set of the first season soon (that seems to be the drill these days.) Rent it and enjoy.

If they don't do the DVD, you're only alternative is bittorrent (which is why you'll often seen people living outside the US talking about the show on the net).

Yeah, they previewed Episode 1 on AMC right after the Breaking Bad season finale (I think that was it), and I was hooked immediately.

It was a quick hook. I watched it twice, to confirm a couple of clues I thought I'd picked up. Then I really, really missed having it to watch weekly! May get the DVD as you suggest.

Yeah, with the demise of Caprica, there is officially nothing for me to watch on Syfy. May as well just block it from my remote... :(

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that.

Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.
