Did anyone else see tonights episode? I was only able to catch the last half and I’m glad I did. The last fifteen minutes had me staring wide eyed at the screen almost forgetting to breathe. I’ve only seen one other episode and this series really shows promise. I can’t wait to see next week, what did everyone else think? ---

I have only seen most of one show, and part of another. Looks good so far. There was one where someone’s hand and then face was shoved into a container of hot cooking oil. :eek: I like this better than “The Agency.” ---

I did not read any of the posts in this thread, since I taped the show last night and plan on watching it after work today. But I have to say that I enjoy this show. ---

Yessiree Bob…that was one hell of a last 15 minutes. You can sure tell this is a British series…not many American TV series would have the balls to do that to a couple of semi-major characters in a show! And my guess is 100% of the viewing public expected the proverbial last minute happy end… ---

Hell yes **DMARk** I know I expected it. I still can’t quite believe it and expect a Dallas-like “it was all a dream” or some other Bull-yah. This show has SHOCKED me twice (fast food reference for the other - if you follow 😉 ) and suprised me a few times. Can’t recall when I could last say that about a TV show ---

BTW…I see they are showing the most recent 5 episodes back to back on Labor Day Monday if you want to tell your friends, or if you want to tape any recent episodes you might have missed. ---

Great! I have a lot of catching up to do. So is Tom dead? I’d like to think not, but this series makes an effort to be real so he’s probably not coming back. ---

**SACK!!!** Y’see, this is why I hate cable boxes. I can’t program it to choose a channel. I went to bed with the TV on the wrong station. Now I’ll have to wait for reruns. (No, I haven’t read the thread. Probably won’t come back. Not until the episode is rerun.) ---
