Just starting Huluing this show, last night - to find it NBC canceled it.
Bastages.
Anyway else catch into it?
(And yes, the title is a clear reference to the Biblical book. Which actually makes the groundwork for a great sci-fi/alt. reality drama).

Yeah, I DVR'd the first three episodes........not a bad concept, but i'm not surprised it didn't attract a following......unfortunate.

I thought it was a good show. Too bad it's going away.

Watched a few episodes, it was OK but every time I saw Ian McShane I kept thinking of Lovejoy...
It was a totally weird depiction of a very strange world....

Sat at 8pm is a death slot. NBC should have opened it on USA or one of it's other cable outlets. It fits right in with Burn Notice, etc...
Maybe they'll save it from extinction, like they did for L&O:CI.

Lovejoy was his pet project, right? Produced, wrote, directed, et cetera?

Actually, I don't think they cancelled it completely. They just decided to wait to air it later this Summer. (At least, so says wikipedia.) So you might not be out of luck entirely.

I watched the first 3 episodes... ok concept, a bit lame in areas; but I lost interest... I did not care for any of the characters.

I know that the books were written by a different author and long before the TV series, I have no idea how hands he was in the TV series, he may have directed an episode or two but I have no idea......
