Anybody STILL Watching "Bonekickers"?

[TedShatner10]

Is anybody been masochist enough to keep up with Bonekickers (aka Shitkickers)? Jesus-titty-fucking-Christ, what vapidly Politically Correct and overly topical bile from the nethermost bowls of Hell!

Sure shows like Doctor Who, Jekyll and Primeval are overwrought camp much of the time, but they're far more entertaining, better made and thought through than this tedious and confusing twaddle. This week I caught the tail end of an episode concerning Iraq, some unconvincing MI5 agents, a punchably smug child prodigy and some sub-CSI laboratory work (I also heard talk of a dodgy CGI snake).

And the epilogue where the Excalibur story arc thickened was unintentionally funny ("I've got a rather valuable, highly fragile Etruscan spear and I'm dumb enough to use it!!!").

Haven't bothered after I went home and came back... I'm guessing from your post that it hasn't improved?

Not a jot.

Got them all post-pilot on Sky+ to watch, was intending to do a marathon of them tommorow.

No. I saw the first episode and it made me unbelievably angry, and I thought 'I shouldn't be this angry over something as trivial as a TV show.' So I never watched again. I think the worst thing is as an idea it has such great potential, but they failed at every single step.

I got up to last weeks episode and was watching it on video on demand but about 20 Min's in i got lost again in what was going on and what the story was and what they were taking about......and my god can they talk about nothing of interest for a long time in each episode.

Bonekickers may be the worst thing BBC have made this decade.

And by 'may' I mean 'is'.

 

[captcalhoun]

i gave up after episode 1, my mum gave up after 2.

it's even worse than Hyperdrive...but, still not as bad as Crime Traveller...

 

[HappyDayRiot]

Worse than Hyperdrive is a bold claim and not one I'd assign to any show easily... but yes, Bonekickers is worse.

At least Crime Traveller had Chloe Annett in it.

I've watched every episode so far, mostly out of morbid curiosity. But I have to admit I barely pay attention, I can't say I'd be able to say what happened in any of the episodes.

 

[TedShatner10]

This could've still been somewhat camp, regardless of how well it was executed, yet the show would've been much improved if most episodes had them dealing with relatively mundane digs instead of going on sub-Indiana Jones style adventure stories that fall flat on their faces.

This show just sucks, sucks, suckity-suck-suck-sucks!

Worse than Hyperdrive, worse than the later seasons of BUGS, worse than Ultimate Force and worse than the first season of Torchwood, a festering bowl blockage of which nothing of value could be extracted.

Oh dear.......i quite enjoyed Hyperdrive......

In my defence all i can say is that i have always enjoyed Kevin Eldon from stuff like Big Train and the likes,Nick Frost is quite good from stuff like Spaced, and Miranda Hart ..................well i just like big women.

 

[WillsBabe]

Nope. Packed it in after the first, say, six minutes, of the first episode. Utter garderobe. I'm sure it'll get a second series.

I like Hyperdrive as well. I may be in a minority, but I like what I like.

But Bonekickers....What a load of smelly tramp's pants. Awful show.

 

[TedShatner10]

Hyperdrive overall just didn't work and was mediocre at times, but it had instances of being genuinely funny and the cast was likable.
