• Good Show But No Ending
  My rating may seem poor to those who watched it but I agree with Rolo. It is a great show that does largely seem to be made up as it went along (after the inital idea). It looks great, is well acted and is creepy, funny and totally engrossing at times. It does get less believable and more confusing in the 2nd seris but I could live with that. Look at Lost. In Lost half the episodes have absolutely no bearing on the overall story but its entertaining and its a massive hit. But the old American habit of... more info
