loved Nathan being Mr Brave with the gunman until someone reminded him he was no longer immortal
loved alien baby stomp

(although I reckon the only one who will have something new is Alisha)

Simon needs to buy +1 time-travelling to become hoodie-guy.

Also, time-travelling Simon had the news tape from the undone timeline in ep 6, so he'll need some sort of parallel-universe-hopping powers too

I just caught up with this last series and thought it was just brilliant. Can't wait for more.

Love this show so much I haven't really cared about the timetravel plot holes. In a way I hope they don't address them because there are just so many now (Like Simon and Alisha getting together in the future after she's meant to have been killed by the Grand Theft Auto bloke, or Simon and Alisha remembering the conversation about future-Simon after Curtis reversed that day), dimension jumping would be nice but I like that this is the kind of show that doesn't get too hung up on those sorts of details, and that no one really notices them anyway because it's too busy being awesome in every other way.

Has anyone been watching The Fades? It's like elements of Misfits and The Inbetweeners grafted on to Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It's not remotely original but significantly better than you'd expect from BBC3.

So annoyed there's no Nathan in this, but the mini-episode that writes him out is terrific:

This was not good

Yeah very disappointing but at the same time expectedly so. Sheehan really carried the show and I just don't particularly care about the other characters.

New guy = rubbish, they tried to overload his character with Nathan-style filth lines and the actor didn't have the charm to carry it off.

Matt DC, Monday, 31 October 2011 12:24 (twelve years ago) link

Exactly, all the anal sex stuff etc. was trying way too hard

Number None, Monday, 31 October 2011 12:44 (twelve years ago) link

Anyone still watching? I think it's becoming a bit Shameless in attempting to up the WTFness with every episode but there are still lols to be had.
New bloke completely abandoned his sensitive side this week in favour of being 100% sleaze ball.

Curtis proves it's hard out there for a girl - switched gender for five minutes and managed to be sexually assaulted by three different men.

Looks like some actually story-arc stuff coming up next week. Good.

I thought this week's episode was OK, but last week's was definitely poor.

omg Mr Veg has got me totally hooked on this; just started Season 1 and I love it!

Found myself really enjoying season 1. Started season 2 and just stopped though.

Not that there was a drop in quality, mind. Just one of those things.

GoT SPOILER ALERT (Gukbe), Monday, 30 April 2012 20:14 (eleven years ago) link

I want to watch all of it right now
stupid work

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 30 April 2012 20:19 (eleven years ago) link

Season 2 is better

Yeah me too. Did rather like this, for very similar reasons to True Blood - camp, over the top, ridiculous fun.

two years pass...

Just discovered this before Xmas. First 2 seasons = some of the best TV I've ever seen. Xmas special is seriously wonky and bad. First two episodes of Season 3 entirely shit the bed and I am not going to watch any more. What a shame. It goes from a great, cliche-shredding, thoughtfully and ribaldly funny show about "superheroes" set in a dark and shadowy and weird real world, and then suddenly turns into Hollyoaks with charmless comedy characters.

otm. afaic the series ended after the second season.

Recently discovered this show - it's on Hulu in the US. This thread is OTM. Cool to see folks views expressed in real time about what is/was great about the show. And when, sadly, the show abruptly stopped being good. We didn't know anything about the show before watching it. Season 3, episode 1 was so wrong we rage quit. Usually after investing in a show for 2 seasons I'll give them benefit of the doubt. But S3 E1 was so bad, the new lead guy so WTF terrible, we just quit. Hulu tells me they made 5 seasons???

Anyway, the first 2 seasons are brilliant & well worth the time. Just don't open season 3.

Oh no, actually I just checked wiki and iirc we stuck it out to finish the main characters' arc till the end of s03, but it sucked so bad we had no desire to continue into s04
