I've just watched the pilot and I can say that it's good, it's like a weekly dose of inception! So, has anyone watched it yet?

Plot said:
When Detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) regains consciousness following his family's car accident, he is told that his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) perished, but that his teen son, Rex (Dylan Minnette), has survived. As he tries to put the pieces of his life back together he awakens again in a world in which his wife is very much alive, but his son Rex died in the accident. In order to keep both of his loved ones alive he begins living two dueling realities. Trying to regain some normalcy Michael turns to his work solving crimes in both worlds with the help of two different partners, Detective Isaiah "Bird" Freeman (Steve Harris) and Detective Efrem Vega (Wilmer Valderrama). He begins to solve impossible cases by using his dueling realities to gain unique perspectives and link clues that cross over from world to world. Helping Michael to navigate his new existence are his bureau assigned therapists Dr. Evans (Emmy Award winner Cherry Jones, "24") and Dr. Lee (BD Wong, NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit").

Watched all 3 episodes.This was one of the shows to watch out for in the "TV this season" threads some months ago. Really liking the show so far!
 
Watched the pilot for this last night. Thought it was very good and the narrative was excellent. Can't believe the pilot has been on the NBC website since February and I never gave it a chance.
 
I've enjoyed the first few but...

Not sure how much I like the conspiracy thing with the bosses causing the crash etc
 
Watched the first episode of this last night. Really enjoyed it.

I thought the bits with him wrestling with the idea of which reality (if any) is a dream and the meetings with the shrinks worked better than the detective bits which seemed a bit tacked on and didn't really make much sense.

I wonder if when stretched over the course of an entire season the cracks might start to show.

Some cracks, definitely, but still pretty solid, I must say...Episode 4 was last night, haven't seen it yet
