forehead7 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Didn't realise it'd started already, I'll check it out later tonight. I've been very excited for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'll reserve judgment untill more episodes in. Certainly seen far far better pilot episodes in my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I like Kevin Bacon so I've Sky+'d it to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Fucking hell. The violence warning before it started was actually relevant for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorDAFC Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Agree with CountyFan , pretty graphic for a tv series now a days but overall it looks like it's going to be a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Vaughn Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We'll see if it just starts to get going and the Yanks pull the plug. Will continue to watch but dunno yet if it will have enough legs (decapitated or otherwise) to keep me watching long term. Kevin Bacon is great though.

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Quite enjoyed the pilot episode. There's definitely enough there to keep me watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I liked it. Now the centre of my Sky+ universe (at least until Game of Thrones restarts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Bit generic innit? Potential to develop with the 'cult' angle, but the old alcholic cop chases down old foe pilot was bit meh, with sixth form romantic novelist allegories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I see what you are saying - its a worry that the serial killer/cult market could become quite busy over the coming months as you have two other new shows starting 'Hannibal' and 'Cult' and of course Dexter is kicking about earlier this year for its final season, I'm sure there is another I'm missing as well.

Mr Sugden Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'll continue to watch it but actually thought that it moved too fast. Prefer series that build the characters a bit more than straight into the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Episode 1 of this is repeated tonight @ 9pm on Sky Atlantic, followed immediately by episode 2 at 10. Just in case any of the previous posts have inspired you to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 sky+ it last week so will watch both tonight , have heard mixed reports about it, hopefully will be good although the word seems to be it is a bit cliched,( hard nose difficult to work with cop that has a drink problem),still heres hoping it can fill the space on the sky box til Sons of Anarchy season 5 comes on.

crisp_packet Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Watched the 2nd episode, I'm liking it. Those Edgar Allan Poe masks freaked me out. It's still slightly cliched, but I'm willing to put up with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I like it but some of the things that happened in the first two episodes were bordering on ridiculous. This does have room to grow with the cult angle so I'm looking forward to seeing a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thought ep 2 was better than last week's, but I suppose there's always an element of scene-setting and character introduction to the first show of anything. I'm enjoying it so far, can see myself seeing it through. Edit - the killer's ex-wife is absolutely stunning, which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 It is good but can't help thinking it should be better. I'll stick with it but feel they have gone for gory scenes over character development. Also the baddie in it is like a sort of Hanibal Lecter wannabe, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 This is dreadful. Shame as it had a lot of potential, and Kevin Bacon is great, but the actual show redefeines formulaic shite. Ahm oot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Have to say I have really enjoyed the 1st two episodes. Here is hoping it develops into a long running series full of twists and turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
