I am a Pretender fan. This may make me biased when it comes to its cast members but I did enjoyed Jamie Denton as Mr. Lyle. When I heard about Threat Matrix, I just kept thinking to myself, “Mr. Lyle as good guy?” I know Jamie’s an actor and not just Mr. Lyle, which I am happy to say he proved. I completely enjoyed Threat Matrix last night! I have a TiVo like device and had to record it for later in the evening but as I watched it, I became agitated that the ads were preventing me from seeing more of the story when I wanted to see it. Thank goodness for the fast foreword button. This is a one-hour show that I felt flew by too quickly, it may have been that edge of your seat feeling. I think and hope that ABC has another hit on their hands. It reminds me of Alias only more plausible and a little less all about me (i.e. Sydney).With too many new shows, it seems the first episode is all about introducing the characters and giving you a little information about them. I have never like this approach. I mean sure you want to know about the characters, but I always felt it is something you should learn over time. Threat Matrix didn’t go into this is so and so and so on. They opened with the team doing something that truly puzzles you. Then it is explained, and very well might I add (I actually laughed, kind of like when Jarod pulled off stuff). By the time the show ended, I couldn’t tell you what every characters job was but I knew enough… I know John Kilmer and his ex-wife Frankie Ellroy-Kilmer still care very much about each other and work well together. I know who Holly is (Do You?). I know who Mo, Tim, Jelani, and Anne Larkin are. Of course, there is that older man that I assume is Col. Roger Atkins, but I have yet to find out and I do plan on finding out. This show was well worth the 45 mins (fast forwarded threw ads remember) that I gave it. The concept is great, the cast is good together and the delivery was superb. Thanks again ABC! If you missed the premiere episode of Threat Matrix you can watch it this Sunday at 8pm on ABC.

Otherwise watch Threat Matrix on Thursday nights at 8pm on ABC…. yes across from Friends!
