Let's get the ball rolling.

I've watched the first two episodes so far and am quite enjoying it. Yes, there is an 'implausibility factor' which requires suspension of disbelief - but I find most shows have some level of implausibility to them and it just depends on the level of implausibility vs. the enjoyability you have watching the show. Right from the start questions have arisen of "Why not just do this or that?", but I do find that when one character in the show makes a questionable decision, usually the other character voices concern/questions their decision - thus speaking for the audience, in a way.

I think the main reason I'm enjoying it so far is the dynamic between Rebecca Gibney's Lola and Geraldine Hakewill's Chelsea - who I'm finding to be quite amusing (as is RG's reactions to her character). I think they've managed to keep Chelsea's character believable enough that she's quirky and can be funny, without being cartoonish/a caricature (at least imho, anyway). It's a nice dynamic and I hope that they manage to keep it so (ie. not have Chelsea verge into too annoying territory, nor have Lola become too mean towards her, etc). Can't say I've really formed much of an opinion on the Stephen Peacocke character yet (though I quite liked his scene with the homeless guy). I also like the contrast of showing how his boss, the one who is after them, is a family man despite the fact that he has people killed.

Yes, I detected a Thelma & Louise vibe from the beginning, with the concept of the show - though I'm hoping things won't end quite so tragically for Lola and Chelsea.

Was tonight's the last (double) episode? I've recorded it and I'll watch it later. So far it's held up well, I'm hoping for a good and plausible ending.
