Just finished watching the two hour pilot and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it..

Kind of a cross between I Robot and NCIS.

Anyone else watching it or watched it? Thoughts?

I liked it at first, then it became a bit .. dull. I can kind of see why it didn't make a second season.

the show should have just been john and dorian in the car driving somewhere talking to each other. easily the most entertaining part of the show (seriously) that would have never been cancelled.

Entertaining enough. Not too much thought required

Recorded but not yet watched.

I stumbled on it - it did not seem to be promoted very heavily.

Was a fun concept, not implemented that well imo, but would've liked to see a second season with some more focus on key aspects, and a bit of closure on the story loop. Was worth a watch, shame it's over.

Over already?

I hate it when that happens! I will delete it. No point in watching things with no future.

I watched it and quite enjoyed the show, although the story arc was a bit disjointed because Fox messed with the episode order again (you'd think they would have learnt from Firefly). It's a shame it was cancelled, they'd introduced some interesting ideas that could have been explored further.

Saw the season, enjoyed it, and it got canned.

Sorry its all my fault these great shows get canned. Seriously... I finally start to get into a show, and they can it within 2 seasons :(

The fact that it's been canned explains the weird timeslot on TV2 and the lack of real promotion.

I've got it on series link...I'll watch it every week until it ends in the same way I have done with a lot of other single-season shows.

Speaking of which...did they ever do another series of H+ the digital series that ran on Youtube? From memory it was a Bryan Singer creation.

Came in small bites of a few minutes per episode, but had high productin values and got me quite hooked, then ended with a promise of another season...which I have seen nothing of.

Watched the series a while back. I liked the pilot. Gave up after not many episodes. Nothing really gets added after the pilot. Flat and featureless. The characters develop just a little bit but not much else happens. After the pilot it has the feel of one episode worth getting painfully dragged out over a whole series. Maybe they should have been 1/2 hour shows.

I recorded it and will now delete it. I hate starting series that get canned without ever coming to a resolution.

Bonus points for when the local networks go on about "First time on network television!" and "Catch up with blah!" without mentioning that the US networks cancelled the show.
