This is an unusual entry for the blog. It’s for a TV series that hasn’t yet finished being broadcast, but it’s one that I haven’t got beyond 2 episodes of, because it’s rubbish. Well, it might not turn out to be so bad, but I’ve decided there’s too much quality product out there to watch to waste my time on cr*p new content.
A po-faced sci fi drama from the BBC, the cast promised much – Eric Mabius from Ugly Betty, Jamie Bamber from Battlestar Galactica, and the main draw, Hermione ‘Ros from Spooks’ Norris – but sadly the flat action and unexciting dialogue left me feeling cheated. Also it’s got Daniel Mays in it, who’s got a horrible accent, face and style of acting and ruins most everything I’ve seen him in (with the exception of series 3 of Ashes to Ashes where he was annoying but the character was supposed to be horrible so it worked). Sadly, the premise was good, with humans who have fled Earth marooned on a distant planet, filmed among gorgeous South African vistas, it’s not enough. Where’s the humour? Where are the characters I can care about? I’ve plenty more to watch instead.
