I've seen a few, I cant decide whether I like or hate james nesbitt, he's a good actor, and he plays this part well, but having jumped in and out, the plot is a tad bewildering, with the secret lab thing, and where he came from etc. It's not bad, worth a sweep.

I watched the first one, and I've got the second one recorded. I'm still on the fence about it.

I recorded the first one, but never got around to watching it, then watched the last one a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty easy to pick up from just that.

I really liked how they dealt with what had (judging by the "previously on.." bit) been the big buildup to the final ep, but felt the actual finale didn't quite match up. Lot's of "ooh, he's coming, you guys are gonna get pwned" bits, but not as much of the actual getting pwned as you'd see in a movie release.

More thriller than action, probably right given it was aimed at Saturday night BBC1 viewers.

Saw it, hated it.

I don't think James Nesbitt could act his way out of a Peruvian brothel*


*I don't know either, it just appeared in my head.

Finally finished the season. I found it quite interesting with the new perspective of EVERYTHING.

The season finale was on the edge of being really good but never quite got there. It seemed a bit rushed.

Looking forward to the return of Hyde :ahoy:
