    I love a good comedy, but i loathe canned laughter, which is endemic to US comedy. CHAOS is a rare exception - the humour is played completely straight, woven into adequate tales of intrigue and classic spy meets spy nefariousness.Continuity between episodes is broken, so i suspect the episodes were aired out of sequence.Acting? It is hard to tell. Each role is played by an actor who fits the archetype almost flawlessly, seemingly dropped entire from the age of classics into the series. So any ham or stilt is hidden by years of exposure to the characters. In summary, a dry spy thriller with adequate plots, decent acting, eye candy and moments of hilarious dry humour. A great relief from the status quo.

    It is a superbly written, well-acted and amusing satire of the CIA with wonderful film footage from around Canada replicating extraordinary global scenarios which enhance the theme of this show. The only thing that could be added is to include another agent that is a woman. There are already two notable female cast members that work at CIA headquarters, but it might be intriguing to have another ODS (Office of Disruptive Services) field agent that is a woman. Perhaps an exotic Chinese female spy skilled in martial arts that has been flipped might be an idea to consider? Just offering one viable suggestion but this is a great production in any case.

    On Saturday night, nothing to do, switching TV channels, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the characters' of CHAOS on TV. Thank you CBS that launched the CHAOS on TV again. Great episodes. Wonderful script. Cool acting. I am waiting for next Saturday to see the new adventures of the "Musketeers of the 21st Century". Good job guys. I am not understand how CBS could stop running such a good film. And now, without any announcement and advertisement they have put it on TV. It is not a good respect for the viewers. I hope that CBS will be corrected it, and they will follow more by viewers opinion. Chaos showing on TV that is already a good sign. Thank CBS. All the Best to the Cast and Crew of Chaos.

    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.
