No way they can sustain that storyline for more than a season. First episode was really good tho.

Was pleasantly surprised with this show. The story and acting was very good can't wait for the next show.
I don't get into very many TV series...but decided to DVR this one.
I'm gonna wait until another couple of episodes and watch all at once.

This should be a British Show - one season with a beginning, a middle and an end.
I hate ABC because they love to cancel a show - like Flash Forward and Daybreak - before it is finished.

It was OK but it shouldn't last more than 5 episodes.
How the Captain going to be sitting outside on a beach and looking at his submarine? One good sniper and its over. What if several seal teams place detonators on under the SUB? Don't they practice doing stuff like that?

What I dont get is this local thug threatening the crew and talking about he run things - they need to 86 that part of the story real quick -

Life Aboard A Submarine
If you have never served aboard a submarine or do not know anyone who is or was a submariner, then this list may help you understand what life aboard a submarine is all about (Well..sort of anyway.) If you are a submarine veteran, you will probably find much to laugh about in the unique world of submarine life. These are but a few of the ways to experience (on the lighter side) life aboard a submarine. These are but examples, used for reference only, not for actual demonstration purposes. Read at your own risk.
1 Spend as much time as you can indoors during the daytime, stay out of direct sunlight. Go to work only before sunrise and come home after sunset.
2 Paint everything around you Sea Foam Green (Navy NSN Green, no substitutions) or Off-White to be sure you are living in a clean, happy environment. Every Friday, set an alarm on loud for a short, but hated, drill sound. Then get up and manned only with a bucket, sponge and a greeny. Clean one area over and over, even if it is already spotless.
3 Eat food that you can only get out of a can and requires water in order to eat it. Empty out your refrigerator and turn the temperature control down, turning the refrigerator into a freezer. Get rid of all fresh fruits and vegetables.
4 Repeat back everything spoken to you. Repeat back everything spoken to you.
5 Sit in your car for six hours at a time with the motor running. Keep hands on the wheel. But don't leave your driveway. Log readings of your oil pressure, water temperature, speedometer and odometer every 15 minutes.
6 Put Lube Oil in your humidifier instead of water. Set it on high.
7 Buy a trash compactor; use it only once a week. Store the rest of the garbage in your bathroom.
7 Don't watch movies except in the middle of the night. Have your family vote on which movie to watch, then show a different one.
8 Have the paperboy give you a standard Navy haircut.
9 Take hourly readings on your water and your electric meters. But only for a six hour period.
10 Sleep with your dirty laundry.
11 For you old mechanics, set your lawn mower in the middle of the living room while it is running. Only for six hours a day.
12 Invite guests but don't prepare enough food for everyone. Serve food cold. Limit the time they sit at the table to 10 minutes.
13 Wake up at midnight every night and make a peanut butter sandwich, use stale bread. Better yet, make your own bread but cut 3 inch thick slices and use these. Optional: warm up some canned Ravioli or soup.
14 Make your family a menu for the week without knowing what food is in the cabinets.
15 Set your alarm clock for various times at night; adjust the volume to the maximum. When it goes off, jump out of bed, get your clothes on as fast as you can, run outside and grab the garden hose. Then go back to bed and do it all again when the alarm goes off.
16 Once a month take apart every appliance completely and then put them back together.
17 Use 18 scoops of coffee per pot and allow it to sit for 5 to six hours before drinking it.
18 Invite at least 85 people you really don't like and have them stay for a couple of months.
19 Store your eggs in the garbage for two months and then cook a dozen each morning.
20 Have a fluorescent lamp installed under your coffee table and lie underneath it to read books.
21 Put a complicated lock on your basement door and wear the key around your neck on a special chain.
22 When making cakes, prop up one side of the pan when cooking. Use extra icing to level it off.
23 Every so often, yell "EMERGENCY DEEP!" run into the kitchen and sweep all pots, pans and dishes off of the counters onto the floor, and then yell at your wife for not having the kitchen area "Stowed for Sea!"
24 Put on the stereo headphones (don't plug them in), go to the stove and stand in front of it. Say (to no one in particular) "Stove manned and ready" stay there for 3 to 4 hours. Say (once again and to no one in particular) "Stove secured", then role up your headphone cord and put them away.
25 Pull out your refrigerator and clean behind it for 4 hours and then put it back when you are done. Have your wife come and check every 10 minutes with a flashlight to see how you are doing.
26 When doing your laundry fill it only 1/3 full, sit in front of your washing machine in your underwear and read a book or magazine you've read at least 5 times before in the last week. When the wash is done, only run the dryer for half the normal time.
27 Fix-up a shelf in your closet that will serve as your bunk for the next six months. Take the door off of the hinges and replace them with curtains. While asleep, have family members shine a flashlight in your eyes at random intervals and say either "Sign this!" or "Sorry, wrong rack!"
If you can do these. You can do just about anything!

I support EVERY show Andre is in...
I had the pleasure of meeting him...
I am pissed I missed this, should be HULU though.
The premise seems interesting I hope it works, I will be back

which is why i'm hesitant to watch.
some shows need to ONLY be ONE season.
after that the original writers find other projects, the storyline goes into left field, shit becomes a parody of itself and i become thoroughly pissed AT ME for letting myself get caught up in the bullshit.
*COUGHHeroesCOUGH*
I saw the first episode a few weeks ago,I thought it was really good....
what he said. It has been added to my DVR line-up
this show is legit!
great acting
good first episode gives you background without being too flashbacky and cheesy
good amount of action but not over the top to set boundaries
good dynamic between characters and characters doing their own things in which they believe is the best interest
good setup
i could see this going 3 or 4 seasons if they actually take the time and do it right. that island is a great spot
and then you have so many different people on it, the locals, the people who aren't behind the captain lots of things can happen and then you have the admiral back at home who's going to try and get to the bottom of it
as well as the impending pakistani war that the u.s. initiated
damn good show

who's going to be a sniper?
they arrested the group that didn't agree with the captain.the seals are too few to do any of that stuff and the other one is drunk and going through it.
how are they going to get several seal teams to that island without being detected? they're on the same side... they don't have the tech to detect their own seals??
200 mile no man zone in effect.
I disagree, it makes sense to me, he doesn't have any real power and he can't really do anything and at the same time the crew is unconcerned with him until they see he has 2 of the crew members.
realistically there would be a delusional dude who ran the little island getting pissy cause they came and took control of things.
Andre Braugher stay getting work. His shows may get canceled but if it does he's in a new one just in a few months.

Did not see the show yet...
But saw the previews and I do not see this story ever be possible...

WORD! Satellites would find them easily and then order as many drone strikes as it would take. If that didn't get them, then their food becomes scarce, as well as ammo, torpedos, missiles etc. etc.
This concept works as an 1600-1700 era show better because back then the world was bigger and less connected. Imagine a slave ship revolt that takes over the ship and then spends their time island hopping trying to find their way back home. All the while learning how to work the ship and weapons (and making allies with the natives) they are being chased by other slaver ships hell bent on bringing them to slavery or killing them all.
Oh wait, that sorta sounds like BSG.
the two crew members that got kidnapped im sure he'll use them as leverage..
IMO this shouldve just been a,say,6 or 7 episode miniseries..only way they could
stretch this out for multiple seasons is if some new,made-up Middle Eastern or European country decides to go after the sub as well(to try and learn its secrets since its an advanced model,etc)
it was ok wouldnt call it the "best" probably will tune in for a few more episodes
they're already talking about how this show might not last:

I dont understand why you hype up a show for months and then take it off after a couple of episodes...That to me makes no fucking sense....To make things worse,give it a horrible time slot....
This is why I cant stand American television,especially on ABC,NBC,CBS and FOX.....Atleast it would of had a shot it if was on HBO or Starz...

I said the exact thing about Lost and Prison Break.
I saw the previews and it looked good, but after watching Chicago Code be off the hook and cancelled I refuse to watch any more shows until it gets to the second season, then I will download season 1. Revenge for one. Saw a couple episodes and loved it and now that it is in the second season I will watch season 1. Too many shows look good and get 3 episodes and out.
I just recently saw all the Prison Break shows on dvd and it was a very good series
It was pretty good but don't know how much it can be pushed to the edge since it's national tv.

I thought it was OK but overall the casting was horrible. I felt like I was watching the same white guy in several roles.
