Trivia:

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:

Virgil "Web" Webster: [Rebecca is being held hostage] Simon Gunther!
[Gunter turns around, and Web shoots him right between the eyes]
Virgil "Web" Webster: Let her go!
[deadpan]
Virgil "Web" Webster: Damn. Did that backwards.

Good show so far.......

I thought that the first episode was very promising. Kind of a cross between CSI and Without a Trace. There was also a small trivia bit when Adam Baldwin's character said he was in the marines and tried to give himself a tattoo. Baldwin of course played Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket and was a Marine. There are way too many shows of this variety out, but this one in my opinion is the better of them. It is also somewhat like Silence of the Lambs without Hannibal Lector. Rebecca Locke is very much like special Agent Starling, and the killers are much like Buffalo Bob. Fans of the Lector movies will like this show. In all, the show should hold it's own during the summer, but it might get hard during the fall, if it lasts that long.
