One with incredible potential; however, the director is drawing out the drama for too long. Having said that the show is intelligent, creepy and full of wtf moments.
If Intruders is anywhere near as good as Orphan Black then BBC America has another hit on their hands.

Carry on Mr Morgan.

Ps. What with this and Sean Beans/Ali Larters 'Legends' autumn looks very promising.

I don't know, I got hooked to orphan black after 3 minutes despite not knowing any of the actors. I'll be checking with this because of multitude of cool actors, hoping it'll pick up, but so far no hook was tossed.

It's definitely not as good as Orphan Black. The writing is sloppy, confused, vague. The characters are bland, or non-existent. The dialog is... well, pretty pedestrian.
I'm intrigued by the premise so I'll keep checking it to see if they ever develop anything past the "oooh you're not getting it, are you, losers?" vibe but Orphan Black was better in its first 5 minutes than this has been in two episodes.

This being said, BBCA is pushing a lot of interesting and original concepts through these days and I wish them luck. Although they don't have the hype other networks have, they deserve it for shows like Orphan Black or In the Flesh.

it's a bit silly to say all that based on one episode. well, other than the dialogue.

The writing is sloppy, confused, vague.

This is my problem with it. I am hopeful that this may change as it develops. It's such an intriguing core concept!

Orphan Black has been excellent since the very beginning, yes

but this show doesn't make sense in any of the 2 eps so far

slow,dull, bunch of empty stories going all over the place before it even begins

I think it will be cancelled before it gets very far

Legends isn't so great either but at least it's more watchable than this

i'll give this show one more ep and if it still goes nowhere, it's the end for me
