Great show, well worth watching. It's only like 6 episodes in season 1 but it is different and totally brilliant

irishmanmick · 30-05-2011 12:34PM

I watched it on FX and it certainly worth a watch. Starts off great but then dips a little toward the end of series 1, but still tense. Looking forward to the next series though, because there is plenty room for this show to move into.

Agricola · 30-05-2011 12:38PM

Great show. I got the entire series and I watched 5 of the 6 episodes back to back. Couldnt tear meself away!

Babooshka · 30-05-2011 12:40PM

Thanks....looking forward to it. But hung over and will probably get freaked out watching it on my own :eek: But what they hey, I'll get a takeaway and hide under a duvet!!

JohnMarston · 30-05-2011 12:41PM

Seen the first series, liked it a lot. Now i have the comics chilling at home waiting to be read. I wonder will I read the comics before i watch the second series?

AnonoBoy · 30-05-2011 04:15PM

It goes a bit downhill towards the end of the series but is still worth watching.

I'm looking forward to the 2nd series.

Nope! Haven't seen any of it. Haven't read any of the 'US pace' thread either as I don't want to read any spoilers

Looking forward to it. From what I've read about it in the RTE Guide, it seems to be something like 28 Days Later...

the start was great and i think the reason the ending wasen't that great is because they didn't think it you get the reaction it did and was only going to be a few episodes long and partly the reason it was only 6 episodes long. I dont thats just what i thought and from what i have heard

Savage Tyrant · 30-05-2011 09:53PM

Nice one... Worth another watch. I thought it was very good. Can't wait for series 2 ... Though I believe series 2 is being made by a different production company or something. No telling how that'll affect the quality.

NSNO · 30-05-2011 09:58PM

That was a fricking awesome way to start a series.

Love this already.

alchemist33 · 30-05-2011 10:46PM

Cracking stuff. I expect nightmares.

Yakuza · 30-05-2011 10:46PM

It seems to have a few bits cut out (for time reasons rather than anything else). I re-watched the finale a few days ago, can't wait for season 2. To those of you watching for the first time, stick with it; it starts off well, then dips a bit, but episode 6 is a decent finale.

DonalN · 30-05-2011 10:51PM

Enjoyed that....now to try and find the other episodes. Can't wait for next week!!!

Penfailed · 30-05-2011 10:51PM

Really enjoyed that! :cool:

killerhitman · 30-05-2011 10:52PM

yea i spotted that to it said act break 1,2,3,4

B_Fanatic · 30-05-2011 10:53PM

Agreed, that was pretty good.

shockwave · 30-05-2011 10:55PM

Very good, might have to buy the box set and watch it all in one go:)

Ah no

Anything good/important? Obviously it musn't be too important if it was cut out. But I'm only watching this now and I hate to think I'm missing out on parts!!

Small bits of dialogue, incidental to the plot. One bit I'm sure about is in the house, Rick says to Morgan "you shot that man today", then Duane (the kid) says "weren't no man" and his father says "'the hell was that out your mouth just now" and the kid corrects himself "that wasn't a man" (with a proper upper class accent to boot

). Tonight, it cut from "you shot that man" straight to "it was a walker". Edit: more cuts; the prayer before they ate, also Morgan telling Duane to cry into the pillow. A bit of dialogue in the Sherrif's station (about teaching the boy to shoot). I guess they had to trim the ep to fit in a 50 minute window (the pilot was over an hour long). I stopped watching it when they left from the station as I can watch the full ep any time I like so I don't know what else they cut.

Must say that was pretty good. Wonder who that was on the radio at the end. I'm guessing the helicopter that was circling?

if you want the paperback version of them forbidden planet in town have them.I bought a few of them myself after watching the series

sensibleken · 31-05-2011 05:30PM

The comics are amazing and i reckon much better than the series, the only problem is waiting for new ones

tbahh · 31-05-2011 05:46PM

Hostile atmosphere, horrible mutated freaks (even though the wife of the guy who was hiding in the house looked quite human in contrast to the others), and a creepy soundtrack, what's not to love?

I knew I recognised the main character from somewhere. Shocked to discover it was Love Actually.

Looking forward to next Monday.
