Does, but it's on demand already on FIOS.

Ended up watching this on Monday. Liked it and definitely will keep watching.

Though I dunno how long they can drag this show out without having to switch up the plot. I can see the Season 1 being all "building the case" and the Season 1 ending/cliff-hanger being Giamatti putting the cuffs on Lewis. I doubt they'd go full-on courtroom for a Season 2, so I dunno what they'd do there.

Oh, and that opening scene, that's one way to intrigue the viewer into continuing watching. After that scene the wife goes, "Uh, I dunno how I feel about that." Gold, Jerry! Gold.

Good stuff. Really enjoyed it. I love Giamatti, and roles like this fit him perfectly.

All caught up on this show, agree with Markus that they will have to switch the plot up. This is like "Homeland" -- you can't have 5 seasons of figuring out if Brody is a domestic terrorist. I imagine that the first two season or so will be about trying to nail this guy and, when that is at its conclusion, they will move on to something else.

This show must have an unlimited cast budget... the latest episode was full of guest stars.

I'm sure it wasn't cheap to get Metallica.

Also, pretty unexpected turn appears to be coming. More interested to see how this goes. Doesn't appear to be the usual "greedy rich guy gets too greedy". Quite the opposite.
