At does everyone think of the series so far? I've seen the 1st episode and really like it.
What do you all think?

I've never watched homeland but I believe it's similar in styke
I think it's far more gripping. The first few episodes have been really tense. I got bored with Homeland after a while, so I've got high hopes that this series maintains momentum. Early days though and it has a lot to live up to with Homeland's constant high ratings.
But this and a few other niggling moments don't distract from what is a great story.
Got to admit, I'm enjoying it.
It'll probably get cancelled... Or be re-branded as a "limited event series" as a way of pretending that they never intended to make any more episodes anyway.
There will be inevitable comparisons to Homeland but it is an altogether different show - more ambitious and complex and something you have to pay attention to. I'm enjoying it but I'm not surprised the ratings aren't great.
Yes stopped with that at ep 4 because nothing seems to be happening. They all just keep meeting in different bars to say "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy". ZZZZz
Just saw a trailer for it under the original title of Odyssey.
The BBC haven't had much luck with US imports in recent years, the last proper hit was Heroes and it was nobbled after S1 by the writers strike.
Do you know when it starts?
I only knew about it because I watch a couple of streaming channels of american shows so see all the new ones/pilots and if I like the look of something I give it a go.
Next Sunday 9:15, feature length episode.
Thanks. I wouldn't have known as yet once again BBC2 have done a terrible job promoting this show.
Also, it's exposition central! In the first minute we had "We've caught him, here in North Africa?" "We weren't even looking for him, we were looking for his wife!" Totally breaks the fourth wall when the dialogue is written in such an obvious way.
That's spot-on thus far. Friel is a ****ing terrible actress - Brookside was too good for her.
Thirteen episodes of this shit and just as they've gotten rid of Jonathan Strange!

Having said that Homeland and crazy Carrie has to be one of the most overrated shows on TV anyway.
I already prefer the setup of American Odyssey but wish it had a cable channel type production values.
