    I'm finding this series really meh. I want to know what happens but I've not really got much interest in watching it. It feels like a bit of a let down, not really gory enough for one thing considering the story line (but maybe that's just me). I'll probably end up just reading the spoilers.

    But I know at least 2 people in my office are loving it, maybe I'm just too fussy :D

    maybe its pointing out that some animals are developing a caring nature towards some humans and not all are are out to kill/maim...........

    possibly

    the little girl clearly dotes on the dog so maybe the dog is returning the favour and telling the girl (for want of a better word) when she is about to have an attack.......

    that is kinda how I saw it anyway

    Im probably completely wrong

    I am thinking once the dog has more of the meds inside then it may stop telling her about the attacks coming

    I'm really only watching this now for the amusement value, it is getting worse and worse. They're in a life or death situation trying to build an electromagnetic pulse (or an oscillator) and they break off for a lengthy psych session. Abraham turns into Batman to defeat six(?) of the gangsters on his own. The woman in Paris looked more worried about the mess the bear was making of her lovely kitchen than the bear itself. Why is the "master cell" in such a huge container?

    My God, this show is so bad. Probably worse than Under the Dome. So many WTF moments every episode.
    The worst hunting method I've ever seen, just run after the first thing you see.

    The disapearing ninja grizzly bear in Paris.

    The complete lack of security at a death row prison (that apparently has no fire suppresion system). "Let me in, I'm French"

    The artic base that runs off solar power with no way of storing that power or any sort of back up system.

    Being thrown in an abandoned derelict apartment and told to solve the bat crisis.... and they do!

    Shooting an FBI agent with zero consequences.

    I feel the same as all of you. Its on planner, but I have to be REALLY bored to watch it. It just hasn't gripped me, and its a shame because it could have been excellent.

    I'm only sticking with it as the series isn't too long, if it had been 20+ episodes i think i'd have given up now.

    The thing that amuses me most is the preamble at the start (where else would it be? :)), talking about how this elite squad of five has been recruited due to their special skills. One of them is described as "a journalist".

    Of course a journalist - after all, who would put together any kind of special task force without the crucial 20% of journalism skills?

    Difficult to know where to start with the absurdity of this week's episode, but how about the ludicrous computer hacking sequence?

    I feel the same, I figure by now we're over half way so might as well watch to the end

    Haha, what was that about. I like how they knew all about the company's security and data storage arrangements even before the French lady came into the room, considering she'd be the one best placed to find out.

    Or the gullable VP who happens to wandering through the lobby and believes he's won a trip from some random stranger. Oh, no, they wouldn't tell him that via an appointed meeting or e-mail. Nope just a random bloke who then walks straight out of the building.

    Or the facial recognition security that unlocks using a photo (she only held that phone up for a couple of seconds)

    Or no one noticed the suspissious, massive black man standing stock still in the middle of the lobby, but the guard noticed that she had left her sunglasses behind even before she had got up from the table.

    :D

    By the way, did the Frenchie's ex say he was a civil engineer?

    Good news, enjoying it so far. Sundays at 9pm seem like the perfect time for it to.

    I tried, I really did. There were some really interesting moments, but the script and the acting and some of the sequences are just mind boggling bad. Some of it is quite fun, silly and I can laugh at it, but I've drifted into boredom now. I had 4 eps left on my planner but I've deleted them. There's too many other good things too watch!

    I only really held out as long as I did because I like Billy Burke.

    Glad for fans that it's getting season 2, but hope it doesn't descend to the level of dreadful that Under the Dome did.

    I'm thinking of giving up. The first few episodes were good but since then its gone downhill.
    I want to see more of the animals.
    The cast, Billy Burke aside, are dreadful too. The blonde woman is an awful actress, and the main guy, a poor mans Nick from Grimm, fawning over his obvious 'love interest' is tedious. The reporter girl is marginally better but still irritating. I don't mind the black guy.
    But overall nobody is that likeable and i'd be happy for all the wolves and lions just eat the lot of them.

    I like Billy too but ironically i gave up Revolution half way through as i found it tedious!
    I liked him in Rizzoli and Isles!

    Do exterminators really use flamethrowers indoors?

    "Hi Mrs Smith, I've solved your rat problem, I burnt your house down"

    And of course, if you're going into an abandoned hotel to search for deadly rats, why would you bother taking decent torches with you when the feeble flash on an iPhone clearly works so well?

    I think I know what the issue is. Its on too long. It should be 30 mins rather than an hour, then they wouldn't need to drag so much out.

    Enjoying bits of it, and its interesting
