If you like the magazine, you'll like this show, which is obviously directed at the same audience. It's brisk and well-edited, and they do a solid job translating the narrative journalistic style to the screen. A short film in the first episode that was meant to be funny, starring Paul Giamatti as Balzac, was actually funny (not just New Yorker funny, which is a different matter and a lower bar to clear). The first episode's main story, The Agent, reminded of me 60 Minutes when 60 Minutes used to be good, only it was even better than that in part because they move it along faster and assume you can keep up, so you get the same information in 15 minutes or so that it takes, say, Front Line literally 60 minutes to get across. Based on two or three episodes, I'm definitely going to keep watching it.
