This show is a breath of fresh air. I haven't enjoyed the pilot episode of a series this much since Lost first aired. The writing was brilliant, and Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver shine in their leading roles, particularly the most excellent scene-stealer Izzard. I laughed out loud several times and I came close to tears during the scene where Mr. Rich dies. This show has a perfect mix of drama and comedy and balances them out in a way few shows can. I seriously cannot think of one scene I did not enjoy in the episode. If it continues to be as brilliant as it was in the pilot, it will certainly be around for a long while.
