Hart Hanson of Bones fame has a new show. Just launched the work page at The Finder.

Caught the first two eps. Looks OK. Interesting addition with the thief-girl. Probably need one more regular cast member, 4 ain't enough.

Like it so far, the question if it it has the staying power. As for more Main Characters, that always need a buildup. Throwing too much characters at the audience too fast is usually not an improvement.

Though i do hope for a return of Danny Trejo as Bishop...

Added a couple tropes.

True, especially on notoriously chop-happy Fox. Hopefully the success of Bones will mean this will get a decent run.

I agree with the above sentiments. After seeing the first few episodes I think this show has some real potential, but they could use one other strong character to round out the ensemble (although who/what that character might be, I have no idea). The "finder power" concept is fun, and it's interesting that they seem to downplay it a little bit and explain it with dream sequences.

It's been awhile since I've seen the Bone's episode that introduced the characters, but I recall another girl with a sort-of hokey Cockney accent. Guess they thought they were laying on the quirkiness a little too thick with that.

[up][up]I think it was supposed to be an Aussie accent. I liked her but apparently a lot of people didn't.

Cristina Farrel (Willa's probation officer) does start to grow on me. So does Timo as part of Team Walter, kinda. Whats the trope for her, being a probation officer who was once on probation?, tough?

Unfortunately, while it hasn't been officially caceled Fox hasn't picked up any new epsodes so it's probably dead.

well, its only just about half (7 of 13) episodes, with a month break now. There might still be hope.
