ABC has just debuted the latest member of Team TGIT and early indications are this Shondaland drama is yet another can't-miss. 

The Catch, created by Allan Heinberg and produced by Shonda Rhimes' production company, stars Mireille Enos as a private detective named Alice who has a nose for deceit and learns in the first episode that the one scent she should have picked up was coming from inside her home.

Peter Krause plays Alice's fiancé -- a man named Christopher who is isn't actually named Christopher. He's a man Alice and her co-workers refer to as Mr. X, a masterfully manipulative con man who wormed his way inside her trust bubble and bursts it wide open just days before they were set to get married -- and makes off with $1.5 million of her money.

A twist? Not Christopher might actually be in love with the woman who began as his target, but that's a fact he'd never let his boss -- some British chick -- know. 

The pilot set up a compelling cat-and-mouse game that left some viewers hungry for more. If you count yourself among those, read on for 11 thoughts we all had while watching the series premiere of The Catch:
