PiercingMetal Thoughts: This looks like it MIGHT be interesting but I am not too sure of how invested I can get in another show because I am already risking running low on DVR space based on The CW Network’s bevy of shows that I’m recording. I love Science Fiction of course but not sure if I really need a half comedy and half dramatic presentation of such a thing. What did you readers think of the trailer? Did it make you curious enough to program your DVR to binge a few episodes? Let me know down in the comments section below.
