Started on Sky yesterday. Also available on demand. I think it started slow but by end I was hooked. Looks to have pretty good budget too. Don't know how it will Peter out but the cast is good too. Richard Dormer from Fortitude and GoT and Robert Carlyle are the main lead.
Anyone else catch this? Any thoughts?
I watched episode 1 and 2. It does suffer a bit by combining high ambition with low budget. The seeming lack of contact with other governments/scientists is kind of baffling as well.
Too many sub-plots and personal backstories being thrown in too early for my taste, but maybe that's because they don't have the episodes to do the slow build up, and we need some of the info because it'll be relevant later. Or not.
Despite that, I probably will watch the whole series because the core premise is interesting and want to see what they do with it. I won't get chance to watch the other episodes for a week or so, but I will say I like Sky's ambition, even if they don't quite pull it off.
