Available on Netflix, I'll be sending the first two discs back tomorrow.
I was a casual viewer of the show when it was initially on. I thought Gary Cole was coolly menacing (which, of course, he is), and that the show had a creepy vibe to it.
We're 7 episodes in and I'm amazed at how awesome this show was. We're talking Lost Classic here. Anyone else watched it recently?

Finished it up, and it was excellent. If you plan on watching the series, don't watch it in the order on the discs; the sequence was screwed up by the network and won't make any sense. The correct sequence is available on the Wiki site....Use it.

Since following your advice has led me to BSG and Fringe, I always pay attention to your recommendations. We're almost done with Arrested Development right now, and will be looking for the "next thing." If this is also on the streaming version of Netflix, we'll give it a try. We don't do the mailing discs thing anymore.
Joe Biden … putting the Dem in dementia since (at least) 2020.
Be aware that it's very mid-'90s. And it's sadly a single-season orphan show. But if you can deal with the silly fashion and the cheesy visual effects, it's worthwhile. Gary Cole is just fantastic in it.
Speaking of mid-'90s single-season orphans, give Nowhere Man a shot too. Surprisingly prescient show about paranoia and the government starring Bruce Greenwood. Again, very mid-'90s (yes, there's a "virtual reality" episode), but worth a watch.

Don't know why it didn't come up in the search.
