Hate to be the voice of negativity (well, not really) but this show bored the sh*t out of me the second and third episodes! I liked the pilot, but the next two episodes left me completely cold and I realized why: I don't give a damn about these characters after the robbery that I know nothing about. I'm interested in what happened in the bank - where ALL the drama of those two episodes was - but the post-bank stuff seems so pretentious to me with all these "clues" dropped of stuff that happened during the robbery. Why should I care about these people at all? I don't know what they were like BEFORE or DURING the robbery, so how can there be any development of character AFTER it?

Additionally, I don't see how this concept, which I initially thought was a great idea, can POSSIBLY last. One - eventually the "post" bank stuff will get so far away chronologically from the bank situation that the impact MUST lessen for reality's sake (correct me if I'm wrong, but they covered a week after the bank already - maybe even more - and we've seen what? 15 minutes of the robbery?). Two - are they really going to show the WHOLE robbery? There must have been a LARGE chunk of time where nothing significant happened in the bank... Three - what happens when the bank robbery is resolved (and what I've read indicates this is the entire idea for the series)? Either A)it's done in a year and they're forcing a second story with all nine characters which is going to HAVE to feel forced or B)they're sticking to this 10 minutes of bank time an episode over the course of years of the series - and MAN how frustrating would that be??? You think Lost is frustrating? At least Lost gives SOME answers and provides more bang for its buck per episode than any show on TV this side of Battlestar Galactica!

Very good show tonight. Starting to see how they could make this more than just a yearlong series with the new revelations with Ava(sp?) having more connection to the robbery. Just how everything went down it seems like they can spin alot out of the plot.

Haven't seen the recent one yet, but will soon! Still trying to remove the badness of "The Time's They...are boring" show.

Will post tomorrowish...

I absolutely love this show. Last night's episode was great, and it was very interesting to find out that Ava may have something to do with the heist.

Spoilers to people who did not watch it!
Even thought they kind of lead you believe that she did not have anything to do with it I still feel she was involved a lil. Also bringing in the girl( her name is escaping me) into the "court room" at the hospital was also interesting. I just feel like I know these characters more than any show. It seems real compared to when I watch Grey's etc.
