I thought it was very good. If you haven't done so already, put a season pass on it.

Me too, but I always loved Joan of Arcadia because of the contemporary, almost flippant way it treated the God "person." That made it palatable to me. In this, kind of weird they copied the "Earl" name from My Name is Earl though. Couldn't they have called the angel Bubba or something else?ced6 said:
We watched this last night and I really enjoyed it a lot. The wings were a bit over the top - reminded of that Michael movie with John Travolta. Hopefully, we won't see them again at all.
Loved when she decked the cattleman, but her punch looked too wimpy to bruise him.
My husband was surprised by the opening scene and said "THIS is on TNT?" I loved how cleverly they edited the sex scenes, so that Holly didn't actually show anything, but you still got the essence of what was going on. Personally I'm glad to see TNT not be afraid of this or language. This is the first series I've ever watched on TNT and the frankness made me think I was watching one of the great shows on HBO. Use of Tivo helped me reinforce that by being able to ff'd through all the dreaded TNT commercials.
Really enjoyed how the ending at the Oklahoma City Memorial pretty much answered one of her "why" questions about why her sister was killed. To me, she realized that if she hadn't been "sick" (probably drunk) and could have babysat the day before, her sister wouldn't have been there that day. I'd say that will give her more incentive to change her ways.
Although, she's going to have to be a real hard sell to rehabilitation to make the series last very long.
Great surprise ending with the kidnapped child. Since they wrote her off as dead, they had the audience convinced they'd never find her alive.
I give the show :up: :up: :up: and set a season pass after last night.

I got the impression that she fully realized what her part may have been in her sister's death LONG before then and that is why she is the way she is now - I don't think she was just then realizing what part she may have had. I thought it was great that she shared that with her nephew to get that burden off of his shoulders (her being there to get his SS Card).speedcouch said:
And I really do think the angel being named Earl is purely coincidental and has nothing to do with that other show whatsoever.
Her partner sure looks different (older? more 'downtrodden'?) than he did in The Shield - I didn't even recognize him right away in that opening scene (though I may have been a bit distracted
).I am definitely keeping my SP and am looking forward to next week already!
