Has anyone been watching this on NBC?
It's not a genre show (i.e., it's not scifi, fantasy, western, crime drama, or anything else). It's more a relational/character drama with a number of interlocking characters.
I've seen two episodes so far (there are five that have aired). What I like about it, aside from characters, is that it seems to have pulled in elements that tend to show up from the other genres. Like when LOST perfected the flashback, flashforward, etc technique. I don't want to say more, the pilot will help explain what I mean, but it's more of interlocking stories with allusions to things that you can piece together if you watch and listen; so it involves some mental work that is rewarded from time to time.
There's a short appearance by Gerald McRaney in the pilot, I just think it's memorable -- he did a really beautiful job with it. Alan Thicke does a few minutes too but not much there to talk about.
