Thoughts?

With that cast, it sounds interesting -- but they shouldn't just put a teaser on CBS and THEN expect everyone to sign up for their special streaming service, which isn't showing anything else I'd want to see.

I suspect that, if it was on the regular network, they'd attract the same fans that TGW had -- but with this special platform, it's going to disappear before long. That was NOT a good marketing decision.

(And seriously, a big crisis and then forming a new law firm?? Haven't we seen that already? Like about five times by now? I'd like to see more court cases, and LESS upheaval within whatever firm they're in THIS week.)

Yea they should of marketed it with the steaming service name instead of CBS, But putting a teaser on CBS loads of people will watch it and with word of mouth it should do ok

Do you think this would of been better as a mini series then

I would have liked it as a full series, but on a platform that all the former fans of TGW could watch. There's no good reason NOT to offer it on CBS. I don't think people will be willing to sign up for streaming, when there's nothing else on it that they want to watch.

TGW had viewers in Europe, Canada, and Australia. Will the streaming even be available to them? Or will they get one of those insulting messages about "not available in your geographic area"?

I expect I'll watch the preview on CBS -- and then be annoyed that they'll expect to sell me this "service" if I want to see more.
