I thought it was American, too, until about halfway through the first episode when I realized that everyone had English accents. I thought maybe the principal characters were English, but everyone else was American. 'Twas not the case...

It was not a soap opera. Although, some of the wonky photography I mentioned earlier did give a few scenes that "soapy" look. And then in other episodes, one scene would look like something out of a Wes Anderson movie, and the next looked like it was filmed by Michael J. Fox with a HandyCam.

From a technical standpoint, the middle episodes were kinda lousy. But the acting made up for it.

You, sirs, are part of the problem.

In the words of Donita Sparks:

When I get mad
And I get pissed
I grab my pen
And I write out a list
Of all the people
That won't be missed
You've made my shitlist

Fuck you Americans.

I have been waiting a fucking year to see season 2 of both Profiler and Eureka on Sci Fi and you lazy cunts can't be bothered to sort out a deal with Sci Fi's UK branch so i'm stuck watching seasons 1 again for the fourth time.

Fuck you.
No wonder you're all so fat.

Re: An Open Letter to the British

You see, the difference between the British and the Americans is, the British know when to kill a show so it doesn't drag on and seem to go downhill.

Americans either make it go a decade too long, or cancel it far too soon.

An open letter to you: STFU. ENGLISH, NOT 'BRITISH'

E: Also, Tommy Lund you are indeed correct when you say Black Books was good; that show is still one of my favourites to this day. Everything Dylan Moran has been involved in has been excellent.

Kevin connects to the Akashic field after his exposure to the Artifact, which almost kills him.

Stark captures Beverly and brings her back, but she escapes.

Carter starts hooking up with the drycleaner lady.

Zoe is fucking some emo kid at school.

Carter almost died when he got exposed to an invisibility thing.

Stark stole a dream machine thing to use on Kevin and ended up affecting the whole town. They all shared the same dreams, so everyone's darkest secrets were exposed.

**** SPOILER WARNING *****
Spoiler: The above were spoilers.

All I ask for is that if you're going to kill a series, don't leave it on a fucking cliffhanger.

But I agree with your comment on American TV cancellations.

Ah, Dexter, so awesome I can't stand the posh English chick that's in it now, I think she's supposed to be really emotionally deep or something... But I have to skip through her scenes most of the time. That and Weeds are the only things I watch every week, I started watching Heroes (season 1 just started here) but I keep missing it so...

What else should I watch guys?
