 Originally conceived (by Todd Kessler (qv) and  Glenn Kessler (qv)) as an FBI show with a 21 Jump Street touch, a  pilot was shot (starring Rachel Nichols (qv),  Peter Facinelli (qv) and Willa Holland (qv) which execs didnt  approve. The show was then given to Tim Minear (qv) who completely  retooled it.
