The basic alternate history premise of the story is not new to TV or film, but this production doesn't feel like it's just going through the motions, partly due to the quality of the novel on which it is based of the same name by Philip K Dick, and also the acting and directing talent on board. The story lines in first two episodes slowly ramp up the excitement, igniting real interest and the well balanced characterisation of both goodies and baddies (though it's not a dead cert at this stage who is who), accent the chill-factor of the story lines. Well delivered acting performances and directing keep a lid on what could otherwise easily become a rather silly outing into a self indulgent fantasy world. Deserves it's full first series.
