This is the only mid-season show that has me excited. The premiere was brought forward to March 1st in the US, due to the disastrous ratings of NBC's The Firm. Really looking forward to it!

Synopsis
Police detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) regains consciousness following a car accident involving his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) and his son Rex (Dylan Minnette). Michael moves back and forth between two realities: In one, Rex survived while Hannah is dead; in the other, Hannah survived but Rex did not. Trying to keep both his loved ones alive, Michael starts living a "double life," moving back and forth between the two realities, dealing with different personal conflicts and police partners. He also starts noticing strange links between the two realities.

PS. Hello to Jason Isaacs

That trailer is an intriguing prospect, very well put together (more like the sort of things you see for a film rather than a TV series), Jason Isaacs is a really good actor too so should make it worth a view.
So many British actors turning up in major US series these days, I wonder how that works. Not that I'm complaining, I'd rather see them in decent budget well scripted shows than some of the bilge that appears on ITV.

A web rip of the pilot (720p, but lower bitrate than normal) just appeared online. I'm going to wait for a good version, but it might be worth a look.
EDIT: now a full 4.3 Mb/s rip has shown up as well. Good times!

Really cant decide about this one, kind of enjoying it, but can see me getting bored quite quickly, & cant see how it would maintain any longevity, anyone else still watching it ?
btw, i reckon he's in a coma & they are both still alive 
tho, to be fair, i've only watched the first episode.

I am 4 episodes in.
Still undecided on it, some stuff I really like other stuff I am not too keen on.
Can see it struggling long term, but they must have something up their sleeve.
They are pulling a Normal US trick though and changing the running order of the episodes from their originally intended order.

I'm still enjoying it, although the whiny son clashing with the dad is already old. Now that they've introduced a real villain it should become more interesting.
The ratings fell from average to ****-poor already, so they better have some resolution at the end of this season, otherwise I will be back to register my frustrations!

Cancelled by NBC.
Although the ratings have been even worse than The Firm, so it was to be expected. Episode 11 was excellent, too 
The last two will air as scheduled, so hopefully there is a satisfying resolution to the story.

Haven't seen episode 11 yet, but was expecting the cancellation.
I hope there is a satisfying resolution too, although in fairness ai think at times it hasn't lived up to the promise. A lot of the crimes of the week were the very by the numbers and let it down a bit.
