I've watched the first three episodes of this and so far it gets my stamp of approval.
The first installment was only so-so, probably because it took a fair bit of labour to lay out the premise of the series, but after that it's gotten much better and the writing gives me the feeling that the story is actually going somewhere (as opposed to series like Prison Break or Lost, where the sheer open-endedness of it all gives me a headache).
