I'm in!Berry,Spielberg,astronauts,what more do you need.

 

[riffjim4069]

I'm sorry, but I view this one as a snoozer. We shall see. Regardless, I love how the broadcast networks are continuing to produce new materials over the summer months vice just showing reruns.

If it's got Halle Berry it can't be all bad.

It sounds a lot more touchy feelly and a lot less SciFi to me... I hope they do not botch it up!

These sort of shows never live up to my expectations.
Been burned too many times.
And "network"? That doesn't inspire me, either.
We'll see.
.
Edit: and where the Spielberg name meant something a few decades ago, not so much any more.

It will give us something to watch new this summer.

They did a decent job with Under the Dome, maybe CBS will really try to build a summer schedule.

 

[DJdish]

At least Spielberg´s dinosaur show on Fox "Terra Nova" went quickly extinct, I remember watching the first episode with high expectations, watched 3 or 4 episodes at the most, but the show didnt´quite meet my expectations.

This will be another I record and wait to see what the buzz is after a few episodes before I commit any time to it.

The series will follow a model just like its summer companion Under the Dome, meaning if the show is successful, it would continue on with a second season -- with Berry returning as its lead, producers said. In other words, don't let its billing as an "event" or "limited" series throw you -- this is a cable model 13-episode drama
