Fantastic pilot episode.
Shame the second one sucks.
It’s sub-Red Dwarf (the unfunny years), improbable in plot and unconvincing in execution.
O! To have one’s expectations raised so high, then dashed so low!
UPDATE: Just watched episode 4… which was almost a return to the form of the first one, so maybe it’s not a complete wash-out.
Now if only Channel 4 would sort out the stupid, D-bloody-RM-encumbered video format on their website and let people like me who don’t really ‘do’ television watch it without pain and I might forgive them for the woeful mess which was the second episode.
IT could have been so much more!
I might still watch esispode three to see if it picks up again … but if not then, well, I’ll do what I’ve always done and leave the TV to the Mrs. while I do my weekly re-install of XP! (my current issue with XP is that it can’t find my wireless network when asked to “scan for networks” … yet I can browse the internet no problemo.)
