I thought the cast did a very good job. The writing and direction seemed to leave something to be desired. The character of Edie was too angry and seemed too distracted to really have any kind of romance going on. Most of the time she came across distant, and her personality came across as rigid, and not compromising. The male lead,Michael, played by the very watchable Stephen Moyer, was much more sympathetic, more likable, and more committed to the relationship. I liked the supporting cast.I felt a storyline could have been added for Michael's roommate - at least more than there was. As an American, I was aware of a decided bias toward the London storyline, which was fine with me. The characters were more interesting and just "nicer". The music was enjoyable, and fit well. The locations were well shot. It was certainly a good series, but not a great one. Maybe the lead female character needed another episode to convince me of her sincerity.

This started out well enough. Sure it is overly stylized, the music, though good, overwhelms the film, and some of the plot points are heavy handed, but I could overlook that in a made for television movie. The leads (Jones and Moyer) are attractive, and have some chemistry. I found Moyer gives his character a wounded quality of one whose circumstances have forced him mature before his time. Jones' character is, at times, inexplicably prickly and insensitive, but overall, she carries it off. Together, the two appear to have great potential. However, the constant arguments that seem to come out of nowhere, can and do take their toll on the viewer. Like the couple, I still came back for more. I watched all seven episodes, despite eventually wishing the pair would just end it already.

Unlike the other review... I think this show is innovative and very interesting...I have gotten my friends into the show and can't wait to see more episodes..Everyone who I know that watches the show finds it entertaining and well worth searching for it..It is a TV show not an Oscar winning documentary... So I find the 1st review very brutal.Tivo it and make up your own mind about it..The characters are interesting and multi-faceted.
