This is polarising opinion and I guess you either love it or hate it. I love it. Sure it has its faults but it's utterly compelling, compulsive drama. The two leads are phenomenal and it's too early to tell whether the story will be as impressive as Emma and Connie. So I, for one, can't wait for the rest of the story and I'm glad it's running on consecutive nights.

This is up there with the best of British television drama in the last five years.

I watched this on TV after seeing the IMDb rating. Despite seeing the IMDb rating. My expectations were low and they were greatly exceeded. Visually gorgeous, silly science fiction that I can't help bracketing with the Fifth Element. Of course it isn't deep, but it is very entertaining, has a great cast and lots of action.

Couldn't help but compare Eddie Redmayne to Gary Oldman, and Channing Tatum to Brad Pitt. Mila was plenty good enough.

I think it's a great shame that this movie has such a low rating and I give it a seven. It kept me thoroughly entertained throughout. I'm trying to think of other fun, silly, original SF movies that come into the same category. Flash Gordon and Dune come to mind.

It started badly but became quite compelling towards the end. Implausible in parts, with strange amateurish scientists and a lone detective inspector investigating a crime that would have had the book thrown at it in real life. Contrived characters. But an interesting plot and some good ideas. I shall watch the second episode before deciding whether it's worth it. My son was less impressed and I don't think he'll bother watching any more. As for me, I'm interested to see whether the cardboard cutout characters get fleshed out a bit in subsequent episodes. The quality of the plot is high, the script doesn't do it justice and the jerky direction left me cold in places, but still I watched it to the end so they must have something right.
