Anybody watching the dreck on ABC called "Threat Matrix"?

From what I have seen so far, it looks like a Propaganda "TerraDrama" series. Most of the dialog is crappy, sappy platitudes delivered like they were being read off cue cards. They are trying to play off the "CSI" type investigation shots with voiceovers explaining what the bad people are doing as they are being shown doing it. Their tech and science consultants (if any) obviously have no ability to override asinine whims of the director. They even had a short little clip where someone was watching ins"Hannity" bitch about something on thier TV.

2. I'm watching it now

In utter amazement. This is the most surreal show I've ever seen.

It's like a car wreck, and you can't take your eyes off of it. I swear, they just had Donald Rumsfeld on and it wasn't him. But he was talking just like him.

Answering questions in question form.

What the hell IS this show?

3. The most pathetic attempt ever to fuel terrorism fear?

I had to switch over to the ball game. If I had a few beers and someone here to play "drink on the propaganda lines".....

6. I have seen only one episode

I saw the pilot and have no desire to see another episode. The show is propaganda. "Highlights" included an administration official telling the press that the administration would never break the law (I laughed at that one) and two main characters complaining about the "stupid" G-8 protestors.

The writers of this show need to be forced to sit down and watch hours of "MI-5" to see what a good show on a similar subject looks like. Fortunately, many Americans appear to agree that this show is dreck and it is doing poorly in the ratings.
