Apparently available on Netflix UK 24hrs after US broadcast (therefore Episode 1 should be on today).
Could be interesting.

I've seen the sequels to the film - I give the series a 1% of being great, and a 99% chance it'll be completely terrible.
I'm not usually so cynical, but the premise isn't good enough to make a great series, the story of the film and especially the characters and the actors were what made it great.

Hummmm.
It was OK. Resets to where film started and seems to be taking it in a new direction. One of the main actors does quite a good George Clooney impression.
It has promise.
I agree, although not sure why they aim the characters at those in the film when they are obviously adding some new features.It was OK. Resets to where film started and seems to be taking it in a new direction. One of the main actors does quite a good George Clooney impression.

I wanted to like this series but it just seem like the guy playing George Clooney's character was trying to hard it all just seems so elementary. I definately don't see this series getting the green light for a second season. It will be one of those shows that just diss appear one day. OT: why does my iPhone separate the word disaapear?
It's not bad but...
- all the best dialogue from the film has gone.
- it's *really* slow. Expanding a film into a TV series shouldn't mean stretching every 3 minute scene into a complete episode.
But I'll keep watching as they're just getting to the good bit, be interesting to see how it goes as much harder to get right on TV than the first part of the film.

Biggest shock for me was seeing how old my favourite 'bad guy' Terminator has become!
Also, Madison Davenport, I had to do double take that it wasn't Lindsay Lohan from 2001from before she got all drugs and alcohol. As a series though, well, it needs more original content. The comment about spinning a 3 minute chunk of the film into an episode is spot on.
4/10 so far really.

I forgot all about it until last night when it popped up on my Netflix homepage. I watched the first episode.
I stand by my initial feelings, I'd give it 4/10, but if would imagine someone who's never seen the film would hate it - without that backstory it's just horribly messy and disjointed.

It's all a bit strange, I guess they couldn't get script rights from Tarantino so although it has the exact visual elements of the film and basically the same characters and plot (with extra padding to both), the dialogue has gone.
Shame as it would have been good with the more memorable bits, the scenes just aren't the same when you know the words aren't there. Say for example 'I've got six little friends and they can all run faster than you can' was missing, or even more obviously the whole 'pussy pussy pussy!' bit in front of the bar; same character, same scene, but the dialogue chopped so it had no references to the original.
If they'd got the original script in there it could have been great, as it is it just seems a bit dull even though the good bit is just kicking off.

This is Gold that is missing. Knowing the films its interesting to see how the characters play out knowing who dies and who lives. telecat said:
Thought it was rubbish myself. Given Robert Patrick is now on "Scorpion" It can't have been renewed.
Going by IMDB a third series is on the cards.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3337194/?ref_=nv_sr_2
Now Scorpion really is utter tosh.
