Waiting a week for an episode is excruciating. The series is fast pasing, I´m loving it so far
What i expected: This show is about a terrorist attack, that wipes out the entire US government. So it will be mainly about hunting the (muslim) terrorists, like in 24. And a President, who does everything to stay in power, like House of Cards.
What it's actually about: How terrorist attacks affect Muslim-Americans, how a right-wing, islamophobic governor tries to establish a police state. About a naive, but lovable president, who takes time for his family, while his wife is kick-ass lawyer. About a president, who tries to find the terrorists, but doesn't want to attack someone without being 100% sure.
It's not a dystopian vision of the USA after a devastating attack. It's an utopia!

I shouldn't have watched the entire season in one day but I regret nothing
This series is great for the typical sci-fi watcher, and is a sort of campy, yet a little darker, feel. If you like Stargate series with a dash of SGU, then this show is for you. The pilot and first part of season 1 start off slow, with character building and just getting an overall feel for the setting. This is what happens with all new series. Luckily, they ease you in to a very good mystery by the end of season 1 and should continue to make for a great series.
