Did anyone watch it last night?
I really liked it alot. I liked how they contrasted Dennis Quaid's and Michael Chiklis' characters:
Dennis Quaid: Lawman who has a streak of "bad-cop-ness", wants to lead a simple ranching life, opposes Vegas expansion due to his ranch
Michael Chiklis: Mobster who has a streak of kindness, wants to become the biggest mobster in town, promotes Vegas expansion to increase his profits
I also thought Carrie-Ann Moss was incredibly beautiful for an actress who is 45. I never really liked how she looked in the Matrix, but she really pulls off the "classy, 60's woman'' look very well. If I get married and my wife looks like that at 35 even, I'd consider myself lucky. Of course I really don't know what she looks like without makeup.
But as for the show, the pilot was perfect. Developed slowly so you could get a feel for the characters, really drew you in. I think my favorite character will be Dennis Quaid's character because of that opening scene.
