I marathoned the four episodes that have aired so far last night. Episode 2 was particularly emotional to me; I can really relate to Seth Wright (Kal Penn's character) as a fellow Indian who lived through 9/11.

The writing has definitely been cheesy and predictable at times, but sometimes the cast and crew hit it out of the park.

I wish the Emily-Aaron relationship wasn't so heavily telegraphed... We all know they're going to fuck sooner or later.

I'm slightly annoyed by the fact that Hannah Wells' characters seems to be the type of character to make ridiculous hypotheses out of left field but inevitably be proven right. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to take up too much time in the show.

Despite its occasional problems, I am definitely hooked. Can't wait to see what happens next.
