Ripped from the Headlines, those of TV Guide....

The most recent episode is based on a Law & Order episode from 1993, Born Bad. One of the things about the original series was that it took headlines, made them culminate into a homicide, and then adapted them into the bifurcated form we all know.

Not sure if this recycling is to be standard, but you would think that the first episodes would be wholly weaved from new cloth.

Shame, it is.

I do like the cast, including the under-rated Bill Paterson, and Jamie Bamber with his native accent ( never understood why BSG, though excellent, has a Galaxy completely dominated by American accents ), all capped off by a sound and attractive job done by Freema Agyeman.
