No, it's not a game show. I'm talking about the remake of the old Terry Nation series---a handful of survivors face what's to come after a deadly virus wipes out about 90% of the world's population in matter of mere days.
We've been watching it on BBCAmerica, only to find that huge pieces of the episodes have been edited out (and badly). Luckily, a friend in the UK had them, so we were able to see the complete unedited version. WOW. We just love this show; even my 12 year old nephew thought it was "way cool." In fact, we have to record and send him the next six episodes, since his town doesn't get BBC on their cable.
Paterson Joseph is THE MAN, so Greg is naturally my favorite character, but I also like the kid, Najid. He's actually a believable character instead of some "sickeningly cute smart-ass," the kind of child-character that seems a dime a dozen on American TV. Sarah is a fairly worthless human being, so I'm rather hoping she dies. Tom, while being seriously bad-ass, is also a tad on the evil side, so I don't really care what happens to him, but I am very interested to see how it turns out.
It's odd that I've become so emotionally attached to these characters; even hubby has become addicted. I've tried very hard to avoid spoilers but it's difficult--but I like how they've handled season/series 1; people died who you wouldn't expect, and people survive when you don't think they will.
Anyone else watching (or watched, since it's been out in the UK for--what--almost 2 years now)?
I am so digging this show.
