What did everybody think of ‘The Player’ premiere?

I published my review of NBC's “The Player” earlier today. Now it's your turn. For those of you who tuned in tonight, what did you think? If you're a “Strike Back” fan, did this seem a good use of Philip Winchester? (Also, do you still need getting used to him using his real accent?) If you're a Wesley Snipes fan, how did you feel he was deployed? Does the idea of a conspiracy by wealthy people to predict and gamble on crime seem fun, or an unnecessary (and silly) complication to watching Alex Kane kick ass and take names? Did it seem more or less stupid than “Blindspot”? And will you watch again?

Have at it. I can see this one as something I watch in the background for a few weeks; if nothing else, I'm curious to see what happens when “Strike Back” director Michael Bassett comes in to shoot one of these. (I believe his episode is the fourth.)
