I don't agree with you at all that the show isn't entertaining. I loved it and it hooked me from the very excellent first episode. Too bad your negative opinion will be more believed than positive ones from viewers, like me, who did like it.

I think you nailed it. I just watched the show after DVRing it while on vacation. I then watched the second episode OnDemand hoping I would feel more...attached. But I found it a little boring. I may watch more episodes hoping it finds its stride, besides how many reruns of House can I watch!
