The Handler
 

Joey Pants... otherwise known as Joe Pantoliano stars in this interesting FBI show. The twist is that it's a bit more smoke and mirrors along the lines of Alias or MI-5 without the cool gadgets and spygear. It's strictly undercover.

The Pilot was pretty good. The stories boiling and backburning were very well intertwined and I had a good time watching it. I'm not sure if it's worth me watching into my stable of normal shows, but we'll see how the next couple of episodes unfolds and how the characters start to move.

Anyone else have some thoughts?

It was a pretty good show, in my opinion.
Had a good twist at the end that had a good amount of suspense to it.
I think it would do better on a different day, but I'll go back for another view.

Was it Taylor Pruitt Vinces' character that was killed?
I went on a b-room break and missed which friend of Joes' character was killed.

I liked it, but I am concerned that it will be the Joey Pants show. As long as the show matures, and lets other characters take more of a lead, it could get boring quick. Plus another night would be good.
Yep. On the way to Vegas, he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed, killing him and "his" hooker. They actually had an undercover funeral so that his targets could still be strung along.

Muchas gracias, señor. ;) Appreciate it.

missed it, but I've heard enough good things from friends to give it a try...

I got the impression that they were killed by the Russians, and it was made to <i>look</i> like an accident - pretty coincidental that he had an accident the day before he was to be pulled from the assignment. Didn't his "wife" meet the Russians at the funeral?

Pretty good show, though - much better than most of the pilots I saw last week.
