Didn't see a thread for this. Thoughts on the first episode?
I can see why it's on Sky 1 and not Sky Atlantic, but it was decent enough to get me to watch again.

Andre Braugher is a great character actor in my book
Each to their own...
Loving the series so far, not quite sure where it can go, but so far so good
yeah, I'm enjoying it so far. but not sure how much longer they can stretch out the island as a base. surely the story needs to be them trying to get home. then once home either proving themselves as the victims in this and finding out who was behind it. so far we only have the girl (and admiral Shepherd) doing any digging.
If this show got a season 2 I could see the season 1 finale as them landing on an isolated Alaskan shore with season 2 being about a group of them on the run on the mainland trying to find out what's happening. but as there is little hope a s2, this could be sped up a little (although might make the series seem too rushed).
I just wish there was more scenes in Washington...and a bit of Tension wouldn't go a miss, the Sub action was laughable, being guided by Sophie 'Ping'.
Also, the nuke detonation (The one in India, right? That the sub was originally commanded to do?), or at least the aftermath of it, is obviously not important to the story as much as the fact that it was detonated for an as-yet unknown reason.
Gutted - I'm really enjoying this show. To many series keep getting cancelled.
I just hope the last episode wraps it all up - but I guess not if they were hoping for a second...
The show's creator has apparently tweeted this ..
I suppose you don't say something like that if you've already got all 13 episodes in the can. i hope so anyway, as i do like the premise of the show so it would be nice if they can actually film a proper ending.
If you are not interested by now, it is definitely not for you.
Good to see you gave it a chance.
Looking forward to tonight's episode - definitely my favourite series at the mo
However it unraveled very quickly. Poor writing mixed in with some poor characters and all put in a situation which by it's very nature couldn't go anywhere. The sub plot (pun intended) in the US is equally poor, 4 episodes in and I really couldn't care what's going on with 'hot woman'.
I don't mind a dialogue heavy show which relies on personal drama, but to do that you have to be good. I'm thinking Homeland, Man Men, Sopranos etc. I'm afraid this one falls well short.
