Anyone else been watching? The trailer put me off but I gave it a go regardless and have been enjoying it. Nowhere near as cheesy as the trailer led me to believe. Kind of a cool mix between American Horror Story (which will no doubt steal this show's thunder) and The Devil's Advocate.
Shaping up to be a great show that will hopefully get more than a one season run.

I'm so-so about it. The blonde chick definitely annoys the shit out of me.

I like it so far. I posted a review I believe in the TV section.

I am thinking and hoping that this one has promise - As EC said, I was definitely turned off by the trailer, but I think that it's truly creepy. I'm hoping that it delves into the characters - I'd be interested to see what their "deals" were. I hope that's the focus; it'll keep it creepy and interesting.
I'm only one episode in, though; need to catch up and am looking forward to doing so.

Looks like it's heading that way. Interestin premise of the fucked up history of the building too. Got to catch up on the last two episodes.

This surely will be one I will be following.There haven't been to many shows about the Devil that lasted for more than one season.Hoping this approach will make it more accessible.Brimstone and American Gothic (I know Gary Cole wasn't the Devil but he sure acted like one) were shows I would have liked to seen succeed.But guess at the time people weren't really ready yet.

I was a little skeptical at first (a show about the devil by ABC?) but I found myself enjoying it. I think it's suspenseful and a little creepy every once in a while.

If Rachael Taylor wasn't in this show I would probably be on the verge of taking it off my watch list. The Halloween episode while good is crazy from a character perspective. It's the sort of thing no sane person would do. I want to see the discussion between the two main characters this Sunday.

Looks like people stopped watching this show here. The last episode was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. At first, I thought they tried to make us forget the Halloween events by showing us a shower scene with Rachael Taylor. But the characters are behaving in a smart way for the most part. The boyfriend's suggestion of the grandmother as a source of the problem and using that against Jane was a low blow. But Jane is showing common sense now in wanting to get out of there. I would have been gone that night...The new cop seems to be on the case too and secrets are starting to be revealed.

I've watched it in the background as I've been unpacking my new place... To be honest, it's not enough to keep my entire attention. I consider it accessible horror, if you will; horror for the general TV audience (I have a coworker who finds it INCREDIBLY HORRIFYING - wow, that sounded more snarky than I probably needed to be)... I'm sort of bored with it.
Just finished Episode 4, "Hero Complex."
I'll probably watch the other two episodes out of curiosity, but quite frankly American Horror Story is pretty much the only thing on TV that I want to watch this season.

I actually just watched the Halloween episode and thought it was pretty good. Odd (not necessarily in a good way), but pretty good.
Too bad it didn't get a chance to pick up.

Damn, it was getting good too. I wonder if the episodes are already shot. I hate it when a show is cancelled and the people involved weren't prepared with any sort of ending.

I had a feeling this was going to get canned. It's been a slow burn show which I've enjoyed in comparison to American Horror Story which is just in your face for 40 odd minutes each week... liked having both sides of the coin so to speak.
I wonder if the episodes are already shot.
Yeah hopefully it won't end on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved.

I have this dvring, do you guys think its worth saving and or waiting a bit to watch a few episodes at once?

I don't have a dvr and watch it every week or on demand. Since it's a slow build up it might be good to watch a few at once. It's only going to be 13 episodes now so might as well watch to catch up.
