I admit that when I first saw the advert for it, I wasn't amazingly impressed. But decided to watch it regardless. I ended up loving it, it has it's flaws as most British television does but I really liked it. Of course the main actor is gorgeous with a love interest... which is admittedly cliché. The story lines could be slightly improved or whatever and maybe the special effects aren't amazing, but it's honestly worth watching. Bit of an anti climax at the end if you ask me, and they haven't QUITE got got the tension building techniques down to perfection. Galvin also can occasionally get on your nerves, however Thrip is perfectly cast.

I love Sci-fi, and I love British Sci-fi especially; Dr. Who, Life on Mars,etc.. but this show is horrific. It wasn't the American accent, I actually didn't think it was that bad (doesn't anyone remember Kevin Costner trying to do an English accent in Robin Hood) it was the writing and the 'Monsters'. "I'll smite you", "Luke, you must believe", the fact that they call the monsters 'Freaks' and that they actually had a monster that pooped out of his mouth; are they trying to be a combo of Buffy and South Park? And what the heck was that Bird-Man thing, did anyone else notice that he actually squawked when he died. I realize that everyone is pointing out the Buffy similarities, or the fact that this is really the British mirror image of Buffy, but that would be OK with me if they at least did it some justice.My biggest question, if there are only 6 episodes and the actors have already moved on to other shows, why is BBC-America even showing it? My recommendation - Do not watch this piece of poop

Philip Glenister showed he can deliver well crafted and very amusing lines in Life on Mars, but here he's given the norm for ITV, lets take something special and innovative and motion over it.Please stop this show before it gets any worse, the direction is average and the actors are much better than the script but when you try and smash together ideas nicked from better stations (BBC and Fox, NBC et al ) ITV what do you expect, man as a station you seem to be able to come up with rubbish, I hope you don't work hard on this.There have been times when you have produced some excellent shows, but sadly this isn't one.**In hindsight this was harsh, I'm not generally a fan of ITV however I am of Philip Glenister's acting, I've recently re-watched this series and think with time it could get a lot better, come on ITV get the writers bums in gear!!

When I initially saw this I thought awww God : Another vampire slaying series then I thought FOR FAMILIES. The first episode was one big setup with Phillip Glenister sporting a decidedly dodgy American accent and the whole thing being entertaining. The second episode showed an improvement but was still an anticlimax with the monster only being on screen for a few minutes, whilst Richard Wilson's turn as Father Simeon showed his superb acting ability. Episode three picked up and was by far better than its predecessors. Kevin Mcnally was fantastic as Mr Tibbs although his screen Time was disappointing. OVerall It was enjoyable.
