I do believe I'll try to tune in.

BTW, the first ep is available on iTunes. I think. When I looked, there was an option for a season pass, for $9.99 --but when I clicked the link, it said "by episode only."

A pretty good (and fair) recap/review from Lainey Gossip:

Thanks, I missed it the first time around and it's not 'on demand' or on Hulu

Then again.....the reviewer is giving it something of a mixed review....it had potential, but didn't deliver as well as it could have. She's right, though, until she's seen another ep or two have a firm opinion.

Yes, that's what I meant - good as in an accurate, well-written review, rather than a universally-positive review.

OK, just sat through the rerun of the pilot....not bad, but not impressed by SMG's emotional range. There were times as Bridget she came through, but not so much as her sister. It also stretched my suspension of disbelief that Bridget could so easily step into her sister's life without making any serious mistakes.

I tend to agree. Even if Siobhan and Andrew are not close, there's no way he wouldn't realize she just didn't know ordinary stuff she should. ("now, where is it we keep the extra toilet paper, dear?") Not to mention, I'd think Henry would know as soon as he kissed her.
The only thing she has working in her favor is that since no one knows Siobhan has a twin, they have no reason to suspect a substitution.

True... the "twin who knows nothing but muddles through without raising suspicion" thing is, well... not real believable.

But I'm going for the 3-episodes rule. I'm hoping that it settles down and gets more realistic.

Here's the official synopsis for tonight's episode, "She's Ruining Everything"...
WHAT A TANGLED WEB SHE WEAVES - Bridget (Sarah Michelle Gellar) struggles to figure out a way to cover up a crime she has just committed, while still convincing everyone she's Siobhan Martin. Her old life begins to catch up with her, as FBI Agent Machado (Nestor Carbonell) decides to stay in New York and learn more about Siobhan's life and inner circle. As Bridget falls further into a web of lies, she confides her secrets to Malcolm (Mike Colter), which risks putting him in danger. Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd) and his business partner Olivia (guest star Jamie Murray, "Dexter") throw a party to obtain new clients, which puts a wrench in Bridget's plans, while Gemma (Tara Summers) and Henry's (Kristoffer Polaha) fighting escalates as Gemma continues to find signs he is having an affair. Zoey Deutch also stars. Rob Bailey directed the episode written by Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder.
(No Jason for a least a couple more episodes.)

Wow. I was hoping for LESS convoluted.

But I'll be watching... never fear.

Okay, did anyone watch? How was it? I'll be waiting impatiently for a chance to see the ep.
