Hope it's better than Survivors... Which was fairly average generally...

Let's hope we get some good writing this time!
 
I liked Survivors.

Hopefully it won't be as dire as Earth 2....

Surivors was OK, but generally it all felt a bit too safe and PC. The writers missed the entire subtle premise of the original series, and seemingly instead thought they were writing episodes from 24 or something. Worse still, you then had too many of the characters doing stupidly daft things so you ended up with unbelievable characters then in unbelievable situations. It was OK and watchable, but I always felt it missed the mark somewhat...

Anyway, let's hope Outcasts isn't as poor as the recent BBC remake of "The Triffids" which was really let down by its writing!
 
Seen the adverts for this over the past few days, not expecting any miracles, but saw that Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama/Apollo in BSG) is in it, so ill be giving it a watch.
 
It's supposed to have lots of Sex in it according to my newsreader app.


Giggidy.
 
Probably not worth bothering, going to be a typical BBC series.

6 episodes... just getting into and the series ends... wait wha?
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for this series and hoping it's going to be substantially better than The Deep. That did leave a bad taste in the mouth so hopefully they took the criticism of that show on board.
