Got to say loved this. Are we running bets it gets picked up for 13 episodes, then gets cut to 10 and bows out with 0.5

Although I'm not sure if you are thinking about 'Transcendence' or the 2013 film of the same name as the show. |

Without spoiling it of course, does Dirk gently have a different case in each episode or is one long case throughout the eight episodes?

Despite my low expectations I really enjoyed the opener. I see that there are lots of complaints on IMDB and elsewhere that it is nothing like the books but surely that's the whole point of this version - to do something totally different but which is still in the spirit of DNA's original work. |

Yep it's one long arc, each episode moving a step on with enough of a resolution to be satisfying as a "bite". Apologies for the vague language but I want to be completly spoiler free
There's a little casual reference that sets the time line as after the books (and though clearly not within the shows cannon) after the SM stories if you will. There's also a back story - completely new to the books which may well annoy purists - though to me I think Douglas would have approved of it. There are a few additional characters that are real standouts as well. I'm surprisingly invested in it for something so light and well, silly. I expected to be "American Torchwood" annoyed. Instead I'm "American Office" happy |

Slightly disappointed it is one case. I am sucker for a case of the week type show and i assumed this was it, but with one main arc weaved through. Oh well. That's how television is these days. I'll be checking it out over xmas. I still have Stranger Things and The Crown still to watch on netflix.
Thanks for the replies. |

I'm not sure The Crown is my kind of thing but Stranger Things is the best TV I've seen in 2016. For Xmas, I have Westworld, Black Mirror and a few Scandi-noir shows saved up.
Apart from the two i have mentioned, i have loads of shows saved up. Like loads. I always make sure i have tons to watch over xmas so i am not bored. |

Canyon City, Vox and Spin - Dramas in Development at NBC
http://www.spoilertv.com/2016/12/can...dramas-in.html Just to add on my post about Still Star-Crossed and the episode count. It may well have its name changed as well. Nothing confirmed but it is being considered. |

I saw the first season of The Killing and thought it was brilliant - however struggled to get into the second and haven't got round to watching it past the 3 episode. Loved the first two seasons of the Bridge but struggled again with the third. Borgen was brilliant throughout. I watched 'Occupied' on Netflix recently - not quite up to the standard of the above but very enjoyable. |

Pretty sure that idea is over now that "The End of Serialization As We Know It" has aired
BTW - I read an article that said that Trump is struggling to find someone to perform at his inauguration. The (mischievous) reporter covering the story asked Rick Astley if he would do it and he replied "it depends how big the cheque is". Are we all about to be Rick-Rolled?
