Good pilot! I like how Bob Lee has a family in the show. Good performance from Ryan Phillippe.
Ouch, this show is such a cliché... definitely nothing special. The only thing that it had going for it is that it's different from most shows that are on right now. Feels like Homeland meets Breaking Bad in an odd kind of way. It's okay I guess but that's about it.
great first episode! looking forward !

The pilot was good up until the end where the whole conspiracy to kill the President hinged on the random chance that Bob Lee Swagger would run across town to the apartment where the rifle was. First, there was no way that the conspirators could guarantee that Swagger would be there. Second, how did Swagger know which apartment to go to -- I mean he scouted it, but that doesn't mean that the other shooter would be at that apartment (and he wasn't). I have read the book and seen the movie, the basics of the book are here in the TV series, there are some changes (like Swagger having a family). I hope the series doesn't play fast and loose like they did with the pilot.
