I think I'm going to like this show. Just a gut feeling.
21 minutes in: I like this actor. His ability to freak out is admirably done.
Finished: Well. That was one of the best pilots I've seen in a while: story, script, acting, production: fine across the board. I'm definitely going to watch more of this show. I like the mixture of cop drama and psychological surreal sci-fi.
EDIT: I was poking around for internet reviews of the show, and I came across this article. It's a pretty basic, non-spoilery overview of the first episode and general premise of the show. But what amused me was this random line at the conclusion of the review:
"There’s room in your life for both this and Doctor Who. Love them equally."
I wouldn't say I love them equally, but there's certainly room for one more British tv show in my life. And it's a long wait until the new Doctor Who...
EDIT: The American version planned for 2007 is being done by David E. Kelly. I'm thinking...that's a good thing. That's a good thing, right? I mean I liked the first few seasons of Ally McBeal. And my brother swears by Boston Legal...
