I just watched the pilot last week. Poppy was cuter as the crazy
girlfriend on the short lived "The Beat." Having a skill (in this case
total recall) is not the same thing as having a personality. Poppy's
character has no personality.

Ms. Montgomery, however, has an abundance of personality, at least when she visits Craig.

I think this is a good idea by CBS.

One of the courses I teach is psychology of memory, and it is the area I have done the most research in. I signed up for a season pass for this show, and watched the first handful of episodes, realized it really was not really designed for someone like me, and now have about 10 of them growing stale in my DVR que (I turned off the pass after a while because it was conflicting with something else).

But I followed it enough the first month or two to note that this was a successful format for CBS, and in following the ratings all season it was clear that the only reason it was not going to get renewed is that CBS has so many other dramas of the same type, appealing to the same demo. It makes sense to show new episodes in the summer instead of reruns of  Criminal Minds; why leave this niche open uncontested to the basic cable channels in the summer?

Montgomery is hotter as a red head than she was as a blonde. It does always seem like all the effort she puts into speaking in an American accent results in overly constrained on screen personas; the babe from Damages seems to have the same problem.
