Looks interesting. Just need to remember this time next week.

I'll be sure to post in here once I've seen the first episode.

You might get a torrent of jealousy from those of us who cannot receive it yet.

First episode coming down now.

Fer said:

Thanks for the reminder.

Pleasure, I've just watched the first half and I have to say things are promising so far.

[VEA]

Ep 3 is now "available"

[VEA]

Anna Scott... I appear to be missing something...

Notting Hill - Julia Roberts plays Anna Scott, who plays the lead actress in the Sci-Fi film Helix....

Ah, got you.

[VEA]

Just catching up on Eps 3 and 4 of this as the Mrs is out tonight.

What's everyone else thinking so far?

[VEA]

Crap, I was hoping for more. I like having something a bit gritty I can watch without her.

[VEA]

Admittedly the acting isn't great but I am still enjoying the idea of it.

Onto Ep4 now.

[VEA]

Obviously only me who is still enjoying it then.

I'm not taking it too seriously though.

Mixed messages. So is it worth watching then or is it one of those that goes full blast for the 1st half hour and then fk all for the next 10 episodes.

I'm 4 eps in and still enjoying it. It's no Game of Thrones but enjoyable none the less.

It's dire. I'm out.

It got a bit silly this episode with all the hallucinations and stuff... I wonder if they are writting as it goes or if it was pre written.

[VEA]

I'm getting mine elsewhere, to be honest, it is a bit crap. I'm going to keep going with it now just becuase I want to know what happens, the last two eps have been on whilst I have been on the playstation so I'm not really paying attention.

Another one that had so much promise.

[VEA]

Well,

Series 1 finished. I think it actually got a bit better towards the end. Didn't try as hard to be spooky.

It's been given an 2nd Series starting Jan next year.

[VEA]

Series 2 announced.
