    Chaos is a fantastic mix of drama and comedy with a cast to match that will leave you wanting more. The show follows Rick, a newbie to the world of the CIA, who through clever interplay and plot development, shows that being a spy has as many risks inside the office as out in the field.I thoroughly enjoyed this show especially Christina Coles role as Adele Ferrer. However I have to admit I was most upset and truly disappointed at CBS's dismal response to the program and can only hope that someone will realize their mistake and produce another season. Until then I highly recommend this series to those interested in something a little different and enjoys a good laugh.

    Pilot was really funny, and subsequent episodes were well-written, fast-paced, dramatic with appropriate humor, and left my Live Watch US participants wanting more. Acting was outstanding, and the chemistry between actors was definitely reminiscent of NCIS and The Mentalist. This show was a refreshing change on all fronts from the typical schedule offerings.Alas, the show, clearly appealing to both genders in the 18-54 (18-49 and 25-54 audience segments) audience segment, was scheduled on a night this audience tends to time-shift because they're not home watching TV and are out socializing. Nor was the show adequately promoted to both genders (the four primary actors have a largely female following); nor was it scheduled with similar shows that appeal to this audience segment.Online and CBS network promos were typical of the network, but other promotional strategies CBS does for new shows, TV talk show interviews and magazine & newspaper interviews, was lacking compared to other new CBS shows. Too bad...this was one show that shows promise of leading a change in network entertainment that cable networks are capturing and pulling audiences from the major networks. The female audience members were ignored with male-oriented promotion; they learned about the show through the male actors' fan sites.Entertaining show, cast with clear chemistry and appeal, good writing, and a fast-paced hour were wasted on Friday nights. Hopefully, when CBS airs the show this summer, it will get a more appropriate time slot and better promotion.

    I liked the pilot episode I saw today online. I thought the characters were interesting and the writing crisp with sly humor. The show seems to be a mix of Human Target with the action and fun interplay between the characters and Better Off Ted with the witty, slightly sarcastic take on the bureaucracy of an organization.It has a quirkiness to it that is quite appealing with various twists and turns to keep you off guard. This is refreshing given the lack of good entertainment on TV nowadays.I will watch this weeks episode and if it is a good as the pilot, then I think CBS will have a hit. Hopefully they give it time to get the good ratings I believe will occur.

    I thought this opening episode was excellent. If they can keep up the writing, this show is sure to find an audience. I watch all my shows on the net so I'm not sure about networks/time-slots, but I hope they don't bury this one because I think it's got some broad-spectrum appeal.I like the main characters. They have a good spectrum of personalities. The weakest link I see is the main protagonist, since he's playing the wide-eyed idealist newbie. His evolution will be needed as the series progresses, but the rest give a good feel of jaded spies. The backbiting and info dealing of the CIA co-workers is hilarious, I can't wait for the next one! If you liked Chuck's season 1, you'll likely find something to like here so give it a shot. It's less cheesy/campy, though still has a light-hearted feel.
