Before I comment on the show, I'll get a few things out of the way first... quote:
ORIGINAL: Harley Quinn Yes it was the lovely & gorgeous Jack Davenport in Ultraviolet. You can pick Ultraviolet the complete series up for about a tenner. Great show. It's also worth mention that the show also features Idris Elba, who went on to much greater heights as the legendary Stringer Bell in The Wire. And Ultraviolet was, for my money, the best take on the vampire mythos ever broadcast. quote:
ORIGINAL: Shaunette_ofthe_Dead] Eels - 'Friendly Ghost' from the album Souljacker. Shaunette, my respect-o-meter just went off the scale! Best band in the universe. Now, on to the business in hand... Having finally caught up with episode 1 last night on iPlayer, I really looked forward to the 2nd one tonight. And while I still enjoyed it, it was a bit of a downturn after the 1st show. I think the problem has been nailed elsewhere in the thread - not enough vampire action. Lauren is becoming a right pain in the arse, and I'm really hoping that Herrik has to take drastic action soon. Tully quickly became Dully and they might as well have called the episode "George meets the werewolf that turned him", it was that bloody obvious from the start. Don't think that's the last we'll see of him either - i just hope they find more interesting things for him to do. For some reason I expected him to transform into Liam Gallagher - must have been that stupid bloody hat and the cocky laddishness... Annie is desperately underused, although I expect that to change when Owen is inevitably revealled as her killer (or maybe his new orange girlfriend? Hmm...) Still, it's the most promising British show I've seen in a long time and if nothing else, at least its something else on Beeb3 other than 3Pints of Bile and a Packet of Cliches.
