I will continue to watch as iinitial impressions look good but I do agree that there is too much hyping of American programs opposed to home grown programs. The Top Gear North Pole special was excellent, great entertainment.
YEp good stuff on BBC2 last night. Top Gear was funny if a little obviously staged in places. Heroes looks like being a good series and the girl that plays the cheerleader is well fit.
Its got alot of similarities to Carnivale that I loved on FX, same actors & music score people too! Pretty sure the director also wrote one Carny episode at least but I'll check on that. Overall it was pretty decent and i'll certainly watch the next installments.
1st series just finsihed on FX on Sky, worth watching, whole thing comes together well over 20 odd episodes. Final episode builds to somewhat of a disappointing climax but it's sometimes about the journey rather than the destination. Series 2 looks quite intriguing
