At least for the first episode, this new series was boring and padded to the extreme. It was hard to relate to the math genius character. He spent most of his time scribbling equations on a blackboard (or white board) and who knew if they were accurate or even real equations - who cared. The cast was good, but the idea and execution of this series leaves a lot to be desired. Take away all the scribbling of equations and there was about 20 minutes of actual story.David Krumholtz (better known for playing Bernard, the elf with attitude in the two "Santa Clause" films)was very good as the math genius, Rob Morrow had very little to do as his brother an FBI agent, but did it well and Jud Hirsh was completely wasted as their father. If this series is to be a success, the producers should stop the excessive use of the written equations.
