Anybody watched it? I must admit the first episode got me really interested! It felt like the movie, not a TV series and was so pissed off when after an hour it ended- so I have to wait another week... Seems like waiting for the 2nd season of LOST may not be that miserable after all!
Haven't seen it, but Charlie Brooker's verdict in The Guardian Guide had me chuckling all weekend:
"It's like they took a two-year-old to see The Shawshank Redemption, asked him to recount the plot three weeks later, wrote down everything he said and filmed it."
I never watched Lost so I was pretty left out of all the "water-cooler" moments at work the next day. So I watched Prison Break and was hooked. Roll on the next episode.
Anyone watch Shameless? We are into series 3 now and it shows. Moments of brilliance but other times predictable. Shame.
Abbott hasn't written any of the current run yet, Banquo, which probably accounts for some of the weakness of it, although I don't think it's terrible. It does seem to have lost some of its lustre though, I agree.
