So far, I've only seen the first episode, which was a bit slow, but had intriguing qualities. What no-one else seems to have commented on, but we couldn't stop noticing throughout this episode, was the similarity (in location visuals and scene changes, particularly) to the game 'Syberia'. Even the main female character looks reminiscent of Kate Walker in that game. The layout of the hotel and the town street is directly translatable from the game to what we see in this episode. Perhaps this is explained by the idea revealed by other reviewers: that The Program is a "game", therefore the writers took some short-cuts by modelling the visuals on an existing game?
