In the Old days when you made a pilot you hoped that you would get picked up for at least a midseason replacement or six episodes, 13 or if you're lucky 22 which is a full season. Now days you have Amazon video and you've got Netflix making TV shows. This is changing the way shows can get 'picked up' IF this one episode has garnished enough interest so that they're going to make more...that's freaking awesome as an actor trying to make it this is perfect way to land on Azeris that gets picked up and for those of us that enjoy watching shows we have more opportunities as they do (actors) to watch thier work. I LOVED this pilot and am happy to hear they've ordered more episodes. ?????????

Yay!!! Amazon picked it up!! I'm really happy about this... I love Ribisi...(Vonni,Giovanni...whatever he decided IS GREAT.
HE is a wonderful actor...(but I always wanna hug him..he's got such a sad visage...I think he's a really cute guy...his acting is something wonderful. No matter what his role.I always feel I'm IN THERE, WITH HIM.
I'M VERY glad that Amazon kept this potential series on the go. Congrats, Vonni, I think your a AMAZING actor. You are someone I'd love to get to know about. Not just from the media, but who your inspirations were.
Who'm I kidding....Gio, you probably don't even READ this stuff! Wish you did..been following you a long time.

Wow..my post was so poorly written,I'M embarrassed. IMDB didn't correct my grammatical errors...(tho' I did when I proof read). I don't want one of my favourite actors to think I'm stupid OR illiterate. That's very important to me. So..sorry for the goofs and the typos. All are NOT necessarily MINE.

Pilot was okay. Very uneven. They're not sure if they want this to be a USA Network kind of procedural like Burn Notice, or a darker show like Graham Yost usually does. If they figure this out it could get good.
