Quite interesting. I rather liked it. What problems did you have?

SPOILER ALERT -

I know I'm going to be mulling it over tomorrow morning, but it seemed disjointed to me.

The one part that really bothered me started when the student walked in on her and her boyfriend. It was the way she reacted to the student. The way she acted seemed so out of character, bringing on the tears, cajoling him not to tell, and acting inappropriately seductive.

I'm looking forward to seeing what other people thought tomorrow morning.

Hmm, interesting. I thought it was in her character. She's out to win, whatever it takes. Period.

I agree, she's out to win. She comes across as tough and in charge, but in that scene she lost all that. I suppose it could have been manipulation, but unnecessary. All she had to do was stiffen up and let him know it was none of his business. Just ignore the issue altogether.

I would have liked it better if she had not been so darned egotistical about herself on ""The View"". I was so looking forward to the show until she spoiled it for me with her narcissism.

Good night, Noel. I think this may be one of those nights for me.

Sushismom, I wrote you a note back on "Eyes Wide Open". Hope you get to read it .

I have it on my DVR to watch, but I am eager to see it.

Fun fact: the pilot was filmed at a local to me college-- and some of the extras are students attending said college.

I watch Project Runway so only saw the second half hour. The background music was intrusive and, I agree, the overly emotional response seemed out of character.

I was so looking forward to it but did not enjoy it. I was confused, it was so physically dark that I would not see everything. I may give it another try.

I saw Viola Davis on the View and I thought she was wonderful. I love hearing about the accomplishments people have made. She grew up hungry and now works for feeding children in this country. I find that to be commendable.

I will watch it on ON DEMAND this afternoon. I watched Parenthood instead.

After I heard from east coast viewers that the show was convoluted, I made the same decision as you

Well the main character Annalese (SPELL?) in not likeable. She is cheating on her husband with a man whose wife has cancer. She then blackmails that man to lie on the stand to win her case. She seems to be the kind of teacher who like to humiliates her students. She was very touchy feely and threating to the student who walked in on her with boyfriend (why wasn't door locked). The rest of the show is about young students in law school so that part might be good. Of course it will take all season to find out what the story is on the dead husband. Even then that might be a cliff hanger.

I did not love the show, but may give it another look next week!! There were too many issues introduced in too short of a time-frame...most scenes were filmed in the dark...had trouble identifying the different students...too much jumping back and forth among stories. The lawyer/teacher is not someone I would like to get to know. I guess time will tell with this show!!

SPOILER....

LOVED IT EXCEPT for the wife/girlfriend connection being swept under the carpet(wouldn't happen in R.L) but I guess it goes with the
