daibhidcSaw this last night for the first time and was surprised. From what I'd heard, I'd got the idea it was a comedy-drama; some serious bits, but basically a dom-com about the wacky things three mythological beings sharing a flat might get up to.
It isn't. There are some funny moments (George's horror at Mitchell inviting the neighbours round, under the impression it's a normal thing to do: "We're British! We nod at them in passing for twenty years!"), but the main storyline is totally serious, and some of the set peices wouldn't be out of place in White Wolf.
Not what I was expecting, but intriguing enough I'll watch it again.

Date: 2009-02-03 04:52 pm (UTC)I'm glad the rumours about Russell Tovey being cast as the new Doctor turned out to be untrue though - I'd say he's the weakest of the three main cast, by a fair way. Not bad exactly, but not strong enough to hold up a series by himself.
Have you seen "Moses Jones"? I've just got the first episode from iPlayer and I'll be interested to see how well Matt Smith does in it.
