SERIES PREMIERE: The premise of this new series, in essence, is that of a more serious Chuck: a government agent, in this case, is implanted with a chip that gives him instant access to the Internet, and other handy high-tech toys. The cast, though, is top-notch: Josh Holloway, Sawyer on Lost, plays the hero, Marg Helgenberger plays his boss, and Meghan Ory (Red on Once Upon a Time) plays his reluctant but resourceful new handler and protector. The execution of the show, for starters, is slick but shallow, but the actors have more than enough chemistry and talent to push past all the required exposition. CBS is giving the show this one-night launch following its most popular series, NCIS, before moving it to a new night. The next mystery this show will tackle: whether viewers will follow.
