I'm not sure. I really liked the first episode as I was watching it but fairly soon after I started to see the weaknesses of it upon reflection...and the concept of a deep-cover agent losing their own identity into their cover is not really original.

I'm going to give them a few more episodes just to see where they go with it...if they don't hook me or throw-in something novel and original, then I'm out. Sean Bean's acting is absolutely not the problem here...nor really is the writing or the show-making; I think the source material may not be strong enough or unique enough to support a big-production TV series. The novel wasn't really stand-out from other competitors in the action/thriller genre.
