Did anyone see this new series, if so do u think it lived up to its US hype??

EvilGeorge · 14-03-2002 12:52pm

Just seen the clips when I was over in the states - it looked good but until its on RTE or somthing I cant watch it.

Pencapchew · 14-03-2002 1:03pm

alright stapes. why aren't u in lectures?

24 is pretty good "IMHO"

davros · 15-03-2002 12:53am

Yes, the first episode has me hooked anyway. Lots of mood, interesting plot developments and a complex main character.

TwoShedsJackson · 15-03-2002 10:15am

It looks promising. Can't remember when I last watched Kiefer Sutherland in anything. Decent plot-twist in the first episode too, hope they keep it up.

i like the real time format - it's a cool and kinda new way of laying out a show!!!

looks promising!!!!

will definately be watching again next week!!!

Quite a gripping programme. Only managed to see one episode so far - last weeks one with the passenger plane ending

Puck · 15-03-2002 11:41am

Saw the end of the last episode and it looked pretty good. Unfortunately I didn't have a clue what was going on because I only caught the end of it.

Does anyone know if it's being repeated anytime?

Krusty_Clown · 15-03-2002 12:12pm

Sadly no.. unless one of the other channels picks it up.

BBC will air the 3rd episode on Sunday
Network2 Will air the second episode next Tuesday..

Get back to work Donegan!

Thought it was very good, I like the whole real time thing as well, I'll definately be watching this again. Hell even if it was sh!t I'd probably still keep watching it because tuesday night TV is appauling.

Are there going to be a full 24 episodes? I heard that there are somewhere.......it'll be hard to sustain that sort of plot for so long, considering everything has to happen in the same day.

pugwall · 15-03-2002 2:04pm

I've been watching on bbc2 and am very impressed so far. The real-time format really works. Yeah it does live up to the hype.
This is a series not to be missed although if you didn't see episode no 1 then it could get confusing.

Fidelis · 15-03-2002 2:06pm

Well as far as I know, it's 24 near hour episodes set over a single day, in real time. Quirky idea but it should work.

Puck · 15-03-2002 2:16pm

If it's set in real-time will it ever have an eisode where the cast is just sitting around doing nothing or just chatting? Or just asleep even?

the_corpo · 15-03-2002 2:34pm

haha

will there be an episode where kiefer is sat on the throne having a dump 8)

i really like it, so some of the pacing is a bit hard to believe, like in the first episode where the office is convened within about 10 minutes of a phone call.

also the 2 teenage girls got loaded and frisky a little too quickly to be believable

though maybe kids have changed since i was one

DrunkLeprachaun · 16-03-2002 2:20pm

They sure crammed a lot in to the first episode. I thought it was pretty good.

plastic membrane · 16-03-2002 8:20pm

The whole real time is just an illusion create tension and keep the pacing over 100mph. Great show, im hooked already. I just hope they can sustain it..

Krusty_Clown · 17-03-2002 5:17pm

Well, don't forget, if it was supposed to be in real time, then Kiefer can have his dump during the ad-breaks on Network2.

But if you're watching it on BBC, then he can drown an alien at the end of the 45 minute show, during the X-files.. (No ad breaks!).

lazer · 17-03-2002 5:19pm

i saw that, it has an original idea, which i like, bit like traffic?
