Coming to USA Network. I’ll admit, I’ll set the DVR.

 
Looks like nothing more than a remake of the Bourne series to me, even some of the verbiage seemed exactly the same.

They did have a good run with La Femme Nikita.
 
Um. It's exactly that... But on a so-so basic cable network...
When I first heard about it, I assumed it was "related to" or "in the style of", more of a spin-off - but from what I can make out now, it seems that it's essentially the same script with different actors, and probably an anti-conservative twist. (I'm guessing at that part though.)
 
I wish I were buried in million dollar bonds.

No, I dont even know what channel USA is on my satellite, and based on previous programming that I tried to watch, the quality of their shows was, to me, sub par.
Im not tracking down this channel for one show that I dont have a ton of faith in.

As someone else said, if sold to AMC or FX etc, a channel with a bit more clout, then maybe I would give it a go.
But USA? No.
 
Anybody watch the first episode?
 
I saw an add for this yesterday. Too bad it’s USA, I dropped cable like 8yr ago. I’ll definitely check it out if it comes to one of the streaming services but typically Amazon picks up USA and it’s an extra fee per episode/season.
 
USA did an OK job with "Shooter." I don't disagree that they have a lackluster reputation, at best. My guess is they were afraid to jump in the river of how new and successful shows are produced--pushing the limits of what's allowed on TV. When they finally did, they had a tough time shedding the baggage of edited-for-TV movies and sappy woman movies, or whatever the hell they were known for.

The Bourne story line is entertaining; I'll give it that. I would watch this on Netflix or Amazon for free. Not gonna pay for an iTunes season of it.
 
I watched the first one today. Not bad. Definitely an intro setting up the whole thing.

As far as USA goes, I find their stuff fairly entertaining. Suits was one of my faves. I have the first season of Pearson recorded but haven’t watched any of them. Enjoyed Covert Affairs when it was on. I thought Shooter was good, as was The Sinner, and Graceland. Made it through the first season of Mr. Robot but didn’t watch any more. Recorded the first season of The Purge, but deleted before watching it and didn’t record the next season...just didn’t have the time to invest.
 
Three episodes in....any thoughts?
