Anyone else watch this?

Ive just watched the catch up on demand copy, and it was good...but I don't know whether it has hooked me into watching the next episode.

I like Sean Bean, he is certainly back to his gritty self, much as he was in the Bond film, but it just felt something was missing.

Just from the first episode it could almost be straight out of the Bourne plot.

I liked the Tom Cruise version. Tim Curry was superb.

I watched the first one too, but like all these sky series I find I lose interest as they just get dragged out for too long. Added to this is the endless adverts that just add to the frustrations. Just felt the same about game of thrones etc....

Watching it on Catchup helped on the advert front. Personally I love GoT, and the number of episodes is way too few for my liking! Will give the next one a try and see if it captures me, otherwise it will be one for the bin...especially as Arrow and The Blacklist are back on in a couple of weeks smile

One of Scott's poorer affairs for me.

This show is turning out to be quite watchable and Bean hasn't died yet.

When you consider his last 3 films have been Robin Hood, Prometheus and The Counsellor I'd suggest it stands up pretty well by comparison...

I was thinking of his decent era.

I thought it was good for what it was. It was never going to be a Duellists but then it wasn't meant to be.
