I agree that it isn't innovative in terms of what has been done in scifi before, but even so, I find it an interesting (though not new) concept that has a *lot* of potential left to explore. And a TV series format offers a great platform for exploring some aspects of the concept in depth.

I'm not the right person to argue that it's an impressive show; as of yet, I don't think it is particularly impressive, either. I do think it has potential. What it does with it... I'm more optimistic than not right now.

Yes, Dorian's actor is by far the better one so far (I also quite like the actors of Rudy and Captain Maldonado). John is a fairly "flat" character right now, which makes sense given his backstory and trauma, but I do hope we see some more from him soon, too.

(This actually reminds me of Grimm. It took me forever to make up my mind on whether or not the main character's actor could act on that show, too. *g*)

I agree with you on Detective Stahl, why does the only other female cop (besides kick-ass Captain Maldonado) has to be beautiful and fashionable?

I could deal with beautiful (not like John and Dorian are slouches in the looks department) if she weren't so clearly styled to be An Attractive Woman rather than a cop.

maybe in a few episodes it’s going to be great scifi TV

Here's hoping! :-) It isn't there yet, but a slow build isn't necessarily a bad thing.
