    I shall not be watching (well unless a repeat is at a handy time). Has anyone been sneaking a peek on the torrents? The reviews are very mixed and I doubt it'll worth the candle esp with a stolid American lead. No-one can replace McGoohan.

    Agreed Mike,

    I have it set for record but I'm not expecting a whole lot. McGoohan is a very hard act to follow.

    I will be watching (out of curiosity). Here's hoping !!

    McGoohan was the man though.

    I watched it out of curiousity, not expecting much, and noticed some similarities with the episode 'Arrival' that shares it's name. The scene with the maps in the shop, and the black blazer with white piping on the old man at the opening scene. I didn't understand a thing of the original, as i was 12 when it was on UTV in early 1968.

    Wait till you have seen the rest of it!!!!! Truly awful stuff :( Does not deserve to be mentioned even in the same breath as the original , let along as if it were an original tv show.

    quite good i thought im very intrested in tv shows like this. the whole mystery element reminds me a lot of lost although i heard the original version did inspire lost. i think jim caveziel is a fine actor
