The Fades

[bigrich4]

Did anyone watch this on BBC Three last night? I thought I'd give it a go after watching the trailers over the past few weeks but didn't think a lot of it. What did everyone else think?

Avoided like the plague.

Anything the BBC makes that they preview to death with trailers that don't actually tell you anything except "the Fades are coming" means it will be usually st.

'Outcasts' automatically sprang to my mind there!

It was OK but I cannot see it getting a second helping.

Some good parts, some scary bits but way too miss than hit.

Maybe next week will be better.

I rarely find something impossible to watch, but it was really awful

[Bullett]

It was ok. I'll give the 2nd episode a try.

Agreed, it would have been much better if..... something had of actually happened in it!!! (Any BBC writers, please take note!)

I think the 'fade' thing was a leftover vampire from Blade II.

I don't think I'll be going out my way to watch the next episode to be fair.

poor. very poor. last good syfy/horror tv i saw was walking dead

[Morningside]

Maybe it tried to be trendy by having the dude recite lines from horror films in an attempt to grab the hip audience?

I just thought it was all over the place by having two young guys of school(?) age and yet having an adult content.

Dont think they were too sure where to place it.

Maybe they should do a remake of 'The Demon Headmaster' but make it more adult.

I missed the second episode, is it worth catching the repeat?

I felt so-so about the first.

After being bombarded with trailers (that didn't make me want to watch it anymore) avoided it, plus it's not my sort of thing anyway......

I didn't watch the second episode, kinda glad that I didn't now that there's the trailer for next week showing. Angels anyone? It does annoy me that the BBC commission this sort of rubbish and cancel series like 'Luther'.

And Zen! The best thing on the BBC last year!

To get the look of the zombies or whatever they are in this they got as far as Marilyn Manson and then stopped.

I predict big things for "Chris".


ETA I meant chris, I think. :doofus:

FWIW I'm sure I've read that Luther has been commissioned for a third series?

Yep, as far as i am aware there is a 3rd series.

2nd episode was getting better.

Why does the the Johnny Harris character remind me of Father Grigori in Half-Life 2?
