Minor spoilers below about the setup of the show, all of which is revealed in the first 10 minutes or so of the pilot.
I greatly enjoyed the premiere. Jim Caviezel is sort of a Jack Bauer type who has fallen on hard times and Michael Emerson is the guy who comes in to give his life some direction. Emerson helped the government build an anti-terrorism device years ago that would track everyone's phone calls, faces, etc, and help "predict" when and where and who would be involved in more serious crimes (terrorism) and "irrelevant ones" (single person murder, local crime, etc). He has SS#'s delivered to him regarding the irrelevant ones and knows that the person attached to it will be involved in some way, but doesn't know their involvement or when it will happen. And he enlists Caviezel as the muscle, which is especially important since Emerson's character appears to be crippled in some way. Caviezel isn't just a strongman though, he's some sort of special-ops trained soldier.
I thought it was going to be more like the Denzel movie "Deja Vu", but it wasn't so hocus-pocus like that. This was much better, and had a very "Enemy of the State" feel to it. Definitely an action show. Hopefully the formula doesn't get old quickly, and at least there won't be a shortage of storylines. Add in the NYC backdrop, and I'm really looking forward to the next episode.
