i dont know its not GRIPPING me


its a good show talented actors so much potential with the story lines but something is really lacking.. just no depth..

i know one of the things that annoys me the camera's are way to bumpy in perfectly normal non big eventful scenes the cameramen still seem to make a mess of it

still i will continue to watch it i do enjoy it

im strong on the inside, not all the way through, ive never been perfect but neither have you

I really like it and I find the fact that you don't always have a happy ending makes it gripping for me. I hate shows where the good guys always get the bad guys and that's that.

With this show you know the unexpected can happen and they don't always chose the desirable outcome for the viewer.

I think it will become more gripping with time. We need to get to know the characters.

The jury is out on Josh and Grace, I like they have an underlying attraction..you always need that on any show but I think the way Grace is written may mean the viewership turn against her.

in episode 1x5 Dom comes into his own, I'm now invested in him where before now it was like he didn't matter.

Kerry is awesome. Her attitude is very entertaining.


Jury is also out on Blake, I like him but I don't feel for his character yet. Same for stella, her character needs to develop a lot more yet.

I definately don't like Michael....if it was just that he was an idiot I could still like him, it's the fact he's also unknwoingly and inherently offensive in his ignorance or want for violence.


I dearly hope there are more than 6 episodes. This is my fave new show this year.

Yeh I was disappointed. I thought it would be great.. but it's boring. The beginning of the first episode hooked me.. but then it kinda trailed off and I lost interest. I don't think the characters are original, they've been done before, yeah..

I like the characters. They each have their own little storyline which makes them all interesting, I think. Dominic would have to be the most boring of the lot so far.

god yes he's an absolute waste of tv

I watched the pilot and turned off half-way through. Watched half of the one with the teens on the building ledge, turned off half-way through. Then during NCIS got bombarded with the promos featuring Grace & Josh commiting adultery, wasn't exactly enticing.

But for some explained reason I gave it a third try during the bomb episode and I enjoyed it immensely. I think it has vastly improved, the actors are great and the writing is taut.

That said the finale's airing right now and I'm in here on the PC instead of out there watching it. Has still got a bit to go before it totally hooks me.

Yeah the awful trendy faux-realism shaky shoulder cam, shot from 30 m away in full zoom just to make it even more shaky does nothing to improve the show.
