Fair enough Neil, I'm going to keep on trucking with it though as I am keen to see where it is taking me ;)

It all sounds too much like hard word to me. Enjoy it, mate, but I’m with Neil on this one. I’m not into programmes with a ‘slow burn’; I like to be hooked instantly, and for stuff to hold my attention from start to finish, with no boring ‘lulls’ in between.
So for me, it's an epic fail.

Hi Barry,
Didn’t see it. Was it good? :)
Marco.
Well, I became intrigued by the series from the beginning and quickly became hooked. Found the ending of the first series to be a bit of a "cop-out" - but the writers were paving the way for the second season.
The second series started slowly but I soon lost interest; partly because of the Screen Writers Guild strike, and partly because I became tired of characters being killed off then miraculously coming back to life at a later time. I didn't see it through to the end.

Don't forget weekdays on ITV4 and ITV4+1 you've got Magnum P.I. followed by The New Avengers. That be proper telly.
It reminded me of Marvels New Universe characters, a failed attempt to do superheroes in a normal, real world setting. I liked Heroes but it got killed off before it was finished. It was at times frustrating, and at times a tad too drawn out but overall pretty good.
Regards Neil
I watched the Leftovers last night and Christopher Eccleston's acting and American accent were so bad it really didn't help. There was the hints of a good story in the episode but it left me more annoyed than entertained so I think that's me done with the Leftovers now.
