Originally conceived (by Todd Kessler and Glenn Kessler) as an FBI show with a 21 Jump Street touch, a pilot was shot (starring 'Rachel Nichols', Peter Facinelli and Willa Holland which execs didn't approve. The show was then given to Tim Minear who completely retooled it.

Quotes:

Special Agent Melody Sim: [while Web is having Rebecca re-enact her capture by Cole with Paul] Haven't seen this game in a while.
Special Agent Danny Love: Little Virgil Webster and his poseable action figures.

Avoid FOX and NBC when it comes to complex shows

Was there any doubt this show would get canceled? After all it had 2 things going against this series from the get go. First and for most it played on FOX which is famous for and that would be keeping cartoons and reality shows for great shows, which is why I avoid the FOX network like the plague.

The 2nd would be it was too sophisticated and required the viewers to actually use their brains most than a 1/2 hour at a time to things fox Viewers don't have. They prefer The Simpson's, American dad, The Cleveland Show and Family Guy instead of shows such as The Insiders and Justice I hope many read my comments for the next time the watch a complicated show like the Insiders on FOX that they steer clear of it. That way there won't be any disappoints when its AXED while your at it NBC is just as bad as Fox when it comes to yanking great shows that have serious depth to them.

Just a small comment on the show it was a brilliant and well written show it should of lasted more than 13 Episodes. This show makes any of the CSI's look like a poorly written sitcom. This was a show that just had to be watched weekly, few show can even come close to this one and yet only 13 episodes were made. It such a shame to lose I'd give it a 20 out of 10 if I could but I can't so I gave it the next best thing, a 10.
