Nearly half way through and gawd is it boring!! I knew it wouldn't work having an oddball kid with unconvincing social workers in it. I can't warm to the kid and Kiefer's not beating anyone up!!
Well me & my husband enjoyed it very much, although we had to switch to SD about halfway thru as the HD picture become very stuttery, but over all I thought it was great, will deffo be watching next week
It started slowly but it got interesting towards the end.I will give it a chance especially as its only 12 episodes long.Does anyone know why the pilot was 1 hour and 5 minutes long?
I liked it but kind of confused. If the episode was all wrapped up this week and there was a happy ending whats gonna happen next week?. A new storyline?
My hubby and I enjoyed it. But wow, did it ever remind me of the start of Heroes (by the same writer). I said to my hubby the first episode of Heroes had the maps on the walls with the strings attaching different people. Reach out and touch someone - and connection- seems to be a favourite theme of the writer. He seems to also like including scenes from all over the world in different languages. Looking forward to next week and seeing how the story develops.
There is no instant gratification in the show it seems. A lot of what is going on won't be easily explained early on if at all and you are going to have to follow the storylines.
I enjoyed it but then I have always liked the stuff about the numbers behind nature.
All seemed a bit random at the start and I was worried that it would be another show where we would have to wait weeks/months/years form the strands to come together but it all settled rather nicely in the second half.
The only problem I has was I was really struggling to debauerise Kiefer Sutherland. I wish he'd just say Dammit or something.
Was a bit slow to start with but then got going towards the end. Enjoyed it though. Although if kiefer wasn`t in it, i probably wouldn`t have watched it. Its good to have him back on the small screen.

If we knew the grand unified theory that physicists believe is lurking out there, then working out the future would be a numbers game. The only problem is that the mathematical power required would be far greater than some kid's brain. You'd probably need a chain of quantum computers or something like that. I think that's why I have a bit of a problem with it. I want a bit of hard science for a change.

It looks like he's going to get into fights as well. Let's hope that he can handle a gun too!

Me too but it's not showing it's in HD on Sky 1 HD. Surely must have been filmed in HD.

This tells you.
It also spoils some things from the first episode.
The Info about filming is that at the time of the interview they had filmed 6 out of 12 episodes for Season 1.
The UK showing is the pilot else it would be ahead of the US showing which has Ep2 on the 22nd.
Also, will there be a season two or just the one?

He did, less than 10 minutes in...
The pilot was 50 minutes in the US, longer than the regular 42/43 minute episode length.
