    FX's highest rated premiere since The Shield.

    If you haven't watched it, do yourself a favor and give it a viewing.

    The pilot was good.. somehow, I thought it was gonna be like the Shield because it has Walton Goggins in it... but this show is lighter and more breezy..

    I guess you can say this show is like Burn Notice except the guy is a US Marshal and is exiled in Kentucky instead of Miami.

    Show was pretty good. I definitely think it has a lot of room to grow. Although the episode was decent, i did think it kinda missed in a few places. But that's pretty typical for a first show.

    Need something to watch until the Son's of Anarchy comes back

    It was good. But the only thing I could think of while watching was:

    They need to get Ian McShane to do a guest spot as a bad guy.

    God, I hate that guy.

    I don't know what it is - I just wish death upon him every time I see his face...

    Good show. Walter Goggins (Shane from The Shield) plays a great bad guy.

    i downloaded the premiere off of itunes for free and watched it yesterday on my lunch break I thought it was pretty good I will probably wait till the summer though to watch the rest of the episodes I am starting to get behind as it is on the shows I do watch.

    Bullock? Total badass. Have watched the first two eps and pretty entertaining. A bit cheesey, but I like it.

    Yeah, if Ian McShane made a cameo that would be the best

    I was a little disappointed. The girlfriend and I both agreed this role is a bit of a waste for Olyphant's abilities as an actor. I made it halfway through episode two and turned it off. I'll wait until the entire season is out and try it again on a rainy day.

    I've been disappointed, too. I actually like Olyphant's character. It's just that the plots of the episodes so far are flat, and they're so committed to Olyphant making this show work that they haven't put much talent around him. I think it has potential, and I'll keep watching for now, but if it doesn't get better, it'll be a waste.

    totally agreed. "the Closer" started off so much stronger.

    Just found the time to watch the 1st three episodes.
    It is not too bad. I think it is still trying to find its legs but it is getting better.
    Still a little bit predictable.

    I think it will get better when they bring back ole boy from 'The Shield'
    [I figure he will predictably break out of jail or get out on a technicality . . . probably one of the better villians in the show]

    i'd like to think that, but the show has already shown what it is: a by-the-numbers mystery of the week, like you'd see on many network shows like a law and order or something. same damn show every week, no originality, and very disappointing and surprising that FX would greenlight such a show.

    against my better judgment, i guess i'll give it one last shot this week, although on the previews it sure looks like it's going to be more of the same.

    I watch this show and it's pretty good...I've been pleasantly surprised, as initially, i thought it was going to suck...

    This show gets better and better each week.

    Walton Goggins deserves some type of an award for his character. He plays a religious nut better than anyone I've ever seen. It's crazy to think that he was originally supposed to be written out of the show after the first episode.

    Next week is the season finale.

    Anyone still watching?
