Apparently Robert Downey Jnr has bought the rights to the third episode of the first series (memory logger) and has a team working to Hollywood it up.

As someone who doesn't usually enjoy British made dramas etc - they usually look and feel very cheap and amateurish compared to the US/Canadian stuff - I quite enjoyed the first episode of this new season. Haven't seen the previous episodes, so I'll have to catch them on 4)D. Need to check out Utopia too, heard good things about that.

The episodes can be quite dark. Gripping stuff.

This one has started well.

Azza · 18 Feb 2013 at 23:04

That was great!

WoW, this second episode was absolutely brilliant, better than the first imo!
Brilliantly dark and thought provoking, if the others are as good as that I cannot wait :-)

Brilliant first episode.

Brilliant second episode.

I got the previous season on DVD when I heard the new season was coming as I hadn't seen it. Really good. My favourite was the one with Toby Kebbell.

How many episodes are there per season? Only three in the first?

Slinky1989 · 18 Feb 2013 at 23:23

Really enjoying this season so far. I thought the ending of tonights episode was a little more predictable than last weeks, which for me, took a bit of the impact away, but it was still a brilliant program.

LOAM · 18 Feb 2013 at 23:35

I did enjoy it but Lenora Crichlow's wailing and blubbering did my nut in.

ps3ud0 · 19 Feb 2013 at 01:28

Thats more like it - enjoyed that episode though it should have gone much darker with the reveal

ps3ud0 :cool:

Liked this episode but thought the ending kind of spoiled it

Yeah. 3 in the first. 3 in the second.

Interesting to see the advert for the next episode. Starring the bloke from the BT adverts if I'm not mistaken.

wasnt expecting the twist at all.

TheVoice · 19 Feb 2013 at 20:38

Just watched the second episode, interesting concept but really didn't think much of how it was done. The acting and dialogue from the two women was utterly abysmal, especially the one that just spent the entire episode crying and screaming.

Hopefully the final episode is as good as the first one.

Urgannagru · 19 Feb 2013 at 21:10

I quite enjoyed it, sure the crying got annoying but it was appropriate to what was going on. Really liked the switch from dark and moody to the "behind the scenes" bits in the credits.

Mind you I would have enjoyed it just from having Tyres from Spaced in it and a guest appearance of the Pope Mobile.

ps3ud0 · 25 Feb 2013 at 23:02

Didnt like that, dno if it was based in the very near future, but I didnt think it was thought-provoking more an insult. The tangent at the end was just 'childish'/poorly thought out...

Such a shame the best part of this episode was the TR advert. Second series was poor compared to the first, only the second episode actually had some substance...

Mostly filmed in High Wycombe too, where I used to live until recently. Somehow they managed to make it not look like a hell-hole.

SoAdCrAzY · 26 Feb 2013 at 11:33

The third episode was good. It was very satirical. Had me hating Waldo (I think that was the intention). It was like classic Nathan Barley.
