    Watched the first episode on demand. The opening scene was pretty shocking. Someone really hates women. It's all very far fetched but watchable.

    Watched first ep on demand and enjoyed. Maggie Q was the only reason I wanted to watch this. Hopefully it will get renewed unless it already has. Also like that she has a bit of nikita in her.

    Just watched the first episode. I will discuss in more detail after it airs on TV but I love it! Very interesting.

    Maggie Q is the main hook for me - and it isn't a bad opening episode, {Sky on Demand thing} ........but I'm not totally hooked yet.

    Hasn't hooked me yet either; not as quick as Nikita! Weird seeing Maggie Q in another role so (relatively) quickly.

    Some kinda obvious plotting, to be honest; she's doing the job 'cos she's been stalked before, him 'stalking' his ex.

    And that ending was so sign-posted!

    Still. Will give it another few eps. (And probably still watch it anyway! I mean come on. It's Maggie Q! :D)

    If anything, at least the show shows how anyone can be a stalker and how anyone can become a victim. It's shedding light on a crime that, I think, isn't spoken about a lot, and definitely not in any great detail.

    Watched the first episode last night and it was good. Being a Nikita fan, so I was interested to see Maggie in something new! So will be tuning in again next week!

    caught the first episode of this last night (forgot it started on the 10th Nov :blush:)

    huge Maggie Q fan and I wanted to see her in something other than Nikita (tv wise)

    Im not totally hooked yet but I will definitely be watching episode 2 tonight

    its an interesting concept, showing that absolutely anyone can be a stalker - Im looking forward to learning more about Beth and Jack and delving into their backgrounds in more depth

    Thought exactly the same, watching the opening moments, of the show.

    Looks like a great show, so far. Glad I just chanced upon it last night on Sky Living (as well as Living + 1, of course). Always good to just find a good drama sometimes, like that - this time it was just a complete fluke. First episode was on Sunday night 16th Nov, followed by the next episode on 17th November on Sky Living. Always a good way of doing it.

    Interesting as some FM's say, the show seems to be tackling a rarely-publicised or understood crime (or a crime shown & highlighted on TV like this, generally) except for hearing about the obvious celebrity cases. Should hopefully do well to try & quell or dispel some of the most common misconceptions around this particular type of crime or type of offending.

    Watched the second (UK pace) episode last night. Another shocker in places.
    Although the concept is different, this reminds me of the early days of Criminal Minds, when an episode could actually be gripping and you looked forward to the next one out of curiosity, rather than (as I do now with CMs) out of loyalty.

    It reminded me a little of Criminal Minds too. The opening scenes are always really shocking and scary. Last nights was like something out of Scream.

    To me it's like Criminal Minds with bits missing. It hasn't gripped me. But I'll give it a bit longer and see what emerges.

    It's certainly not as good and gripping as "Nikita". It's basically just another police procedural but tackling a subject not done before.

    I'm not normally into the whole American crime drama thing, there's a lot out of there and none really have any specific usp's that stand out for me.

    Saying that though, I'm absolutely gripped by this show. It's so interesting and a lot of the scenes, such as the opening of the first episode are genuinely shocking.

    It's quite scary though. The concept of stalkers I mean. Anyone can be one and anyone can be a victim of one. Quite terrifying 😱😱😱
