Not a good start, 20 February 2008

Author: moshun from United Kingdom

Yet again we trot out a tired ,derivative, alarmist bore-fest of a drama.

Chock full of cardboard characters, bad dialogue and cheaper than cheap production values. It picks up slightly toward the end of the initial episode, enough to give it a second chance, but not exactly edge of the seat stuff.

Theme wise, it's not particularly relevant in any accurate sense. As i said before "alarmist" is the best description. At least if it's core had some genuine gravitas it would be worth watching but it comes off as the same old mumblings of leftie dissent. Balking at the notion of a surveillance state. (which for all intents and purposes we already live in) And for the most part... it's coma inducingly dull. Some of the acting is cringe worthy, but i cant blame the actors, with some of the lines they have to deliver, it's telling when even the cast cant get into character.

Like i said, i will wait to see how the next episode pans out, but i am not waiting with baited breath.

when oh when will British TV actually get some money spent on productions!
