OK, not even approaching great. I originally thought this was a good concept, but now I realize its not. The problem is that there is only one character that is interesting. Every other character forgets everything when the day resets, so this really kills the drama.

Also, it seems obvious that the scruffy guy in the police station is another guy that is also stuck in the same day loop as the main character.

I enjoyed it, which is not something I've been able to say about any other new show.

When he kept trying to explain to the GF what was going on, I kept thinking, just tell her its like Groundhog Day.

I actually shouted this at the television. "WEll, today is yesterday, and yesterday was today, and it's all the same. No the same things didn't happen but it's the same day blah blah blah..."

i thought this was a great idea for a tv show and i would be looking forward to watching it again if taye diggs wasn't such a terrible actor, im fairly certain that the show will get progressively worse the longer it stays on the air

Who knows, maybe some of the other characters will start remembering bits and pieces of the previous days as the show progresses.

I liked it will watch again next week.

What scruffy guy? And how did they hint that he's in the loop too? I didn't catch that. I do think that revealing that some of the characters are in on the loop is a good twist for the show sometime down the road though.

Defintely better than I expected. I caught most of it while playing online the other night. The wife is nice eye candy. I kinda like the Memento + Groundhog Day + 24 vibe to show... I'll give it another week.

I liked it and will keep watching. It is only a 13 episode miniseries (which honestly seems too long anyways) but I think there's a lot of cool places it can go and the "injuries remain through the days" part makes it more realistic and will lead to more drama than the whole groundhog day treatment. Unfortunately I think there will be a lot of repetition (duh) but the pilot was solid and will be a good thing to have on a dvr.

I predict it will end with it turns out the DA murder victim was dirty.
