Not an especially original premise, but the first episode does show some promise. Good acting, nice chemistry, and I admit I kinda want to see where it goes.

Brilliant! Departed from the books in some significant ways, but stood well on its own merits. Great acting (superb for a Science Fiction show on SyFy), well written, and very nice special effects. Cancelled not because of low ratings, but because the channel it was on wanted cheaper shows. Well worth a watch.

A fantastic show! The Zen detective made for a wonderful character, and seeing his approach to solving crimes made the tiresome police procedural format. The over-arcing plots were interesting too, though the show being cut short did diminish the quality of the second season. I think my favorite parts were the little moments that showed the impact prison had on the main character and his friend. Very powerful, but never overdone.
