I have been enjoying this show from the first episode; even though I only saw the first episode by mistake. I'm really liking the way Maria Bello is playing this character. The writers put the words in her mouth, but she's the one that makes that character come alive and gives her the finer points of her personality. And unlike one of the other reviewers; I like the hat. Miss Bello is just one of the things that make this show as good as it is. How good is it to see a cast of characters that wasn't cast based on looks. I know it sounds like I'm saying something about the way the members of the cast look; I'm not. I'm just saying they look and act like real people. And they can act; how cool is that. So add it up; good actors, good characters, good writing. How can we lose? We will probably lose soon when then cancel this excellent show. I should have known, many of the shows I like, get it in the neck. Life, and Terriers comes to mind. I've read recently that like many other fine shows in the five to ten years NBC doesn't plan on giving this show a chance to gain an audience.
