Good start.

Has the makings of a great show. I had lowered expectations after hearing they stretched the first night to 2 hours because they weren't confident in the Pilot. But if you ask me the Pilot was the stronger of the two episodes.

I too was annoyed with the replacement character, but he did draw a few laughs. I'm siding with those who are saying the character is purposefully written that way. From what I've heard he becomes a lot more likeable after next week's episode.

All-in-all a great premise for a Television series. After The Wire, The Killing and to some extent Terriers I'd love to see more shows take the 'one season = 1 novel' approach.

One more thing: I never finished the game (on my to-do list) but this show reminded me very much of Heavy Rain.
