At the end of the first episode I thought "well, I think I liked that". I'm still not completely sure, but I will watch the next episode.
There were some things that stood out - I'm partial to Sheen and absolutely loved his scene-chewing. Lou Diamond Philips cemented his place with his role on Psych, so even though I wasn't super impressed with his scenes he gets a pass. I liked Payne, but I do hope he settles in a little better as the show goes on. A pilot is often uneven, so I'm willing to see what happens in a couple more episodes.
And while I liked the mother well enough, I found it distracting that she appears so young - too young to be Malcolm's mother. And then there's the sister. I cannot take her seriously as some intrepid reporter, so that was also a distraction. I like the female cop, and am open on the male cop. It'll take a little more than we saw of him to decide if he's going to just be the stock character opposed to the civilian consultant.
I do think there will be more layers exposed for Malcolm. I don't know if it was script or just actor, but the exultant look on his face when he came out of the building after chopping of the guys hand was creepy.

S01.E01: Pilot
in Carol's Second Act [V]
Neff is the only reason I tuned in - love him. But wow this was bad.
