Second Chance
I... did not like the pilot at all. I admit I do have an immediate bias against shows with yet another macho white guy in the lead role, and this guy was everything I dislike - aggressive, hard drinking, partying. Ugh. I was watching it with a friend and we kept going back of forth about whether we even wanted to see the episode out. The only thing that kept us going was Tim McKay pretty much playing an AU version of his character in White Collar - seriously, he's pretty much Peter Burke.
The end of the ep was intriguing and it looks like this is going to be about the character's redemption, so last night I showed the pilot to the household (with the 'he's a dick!' disclaimer, and I didn't mind it this time.
And then I liked the second episode a lot more - it's clearly going to be him and AU Peter Burke as Unlikely Crime Fighting Partners and how can I resist that??
