After watching the pilot I have mixed feelings. I liked it, but it was too many different plot lines for one episode. I know, I know - that is how the show invites viewers to watch what's to come and gives a peak on what story lines will unfold, but in reality, it usually gets the viewers confused. And this time, here is why:
1) Don Johnson really tries to push ruthless oil lord character out of him but it looks hard on him, because he's just a nice guy and I hope it's just for time being, that he is struggling to be and look bad.
2) Chace Crawford does his best to pull the show on his shoulders, but sometimes it gets too heavy for him. But he's good, nevertheless.
3) Too many story lines: they are so poor living in a trailer and in a couple of days become rich (either they'd had to be not that poor or they should've had their luck in further episodes). The bad son becomes bad too soon and most definitely another personal LeFever family situation-change is too early and completely wasted opportunity for the future.
Scotty Mike Foster was my crush in Greek, having been a sassy college kid with a lighthearted heart, but here he is a man all grown-up, dark, hurt, seductively bad and vengeful - so far the most interesting character on the show (and that inner darkness is veeery attractive..)
Chace Crawford is my close second of things that impressed me on the show. It's nice to see him again after Gossip Girl (all grown-up man also).
So, in conclusion - has potential but I hope it won't go that fast and develop one-two plot lines or characters at a time (not all of them at once).
Looking forward to see what's going to happen later on.
