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.

good clean espionage humor, miss it. Lil' corny at times, but that comes with good clean. Was interested to see where they'd take the plot line, maybe they were afraid of being so effectively topical that someone pulled the plug. I have no idea really, just wanna see the show again, even the existing episodes to share with friends. I thought it was good for some laughs, with actors I enjoyed watching, playing characters I felt inclined to want to get to know. Near as I can tell that's the first bit. They got it in the box, at least once (thirteen episodes.)That's the second bit. Then poof! it's Canadian shot so, Canadian CIA? The show was entertaining. Perhaps they used up all the good espionage jokes in the first season...

I really enjoy Chaos. It is well done, funny and edgy. Please give it a chance. 3 episodes are not enough, you need to give people time to watch it. This is a great ensemble cast and they play off each other well. I think showing these episodes on Saturday night is not going to get viewers very well. You didn't publish that Chaos was coming on. If my DVR had not bee scheduled to record Chaos, I would have never known it was on. Please give this show a fair shake. Advertise this show and show some of the funny scenes. I'm sure that audiences will enjoy something different this summer. Help this show gain the following and the numbers I know it can get. I think that if you advertise this show and put it on during the week, you will see that it can get a good audience.

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.
