I avoided this show for a long time, but somewhere around the 4th season I was bored one weekend and started watching from the beginning. As far as vampire shows go, its about as good as it gets. The actors are all talented and good looking, the writing while not great has its moments, and there are hot chicks. Its entertaining, at least for about half of the total shows. The other half of the episodes are typical teenybopper crap.

After a couple seasons, it becomes a repeatitive show (like most shows) with the girl being passed back and forth between the brothers in some weird proxy of incest. Its like Friends with Fangs. I wasn't surprised Nina decided to leave the show, though in many ways the show improved without her.

The ending was disgusting. I'm an atheist, so the "heaven" connotations are gross all by themselves, but I would say I am a moral person ("good without god" is an atheist slogan) and I find it disgusting that after brutally murdering hundreds of people through out the seasons one of the main characters goes to "heaven" and gets the girl (perhaps she is one of his 72 virgins). Make me puke!!! Very christian ending though. The worst people I've met in my life were christians, the reason they are repenting and praying all the time is because they are SINNERS. Not that there is such a thing in reality, but they think there is and they are what they most fear... horrible unredeemable people. Unfortunately there is no hell. If the producers of the show were murdered by a fan, that would be what they deserve for being such literary reprobates.

Its a well done show, but I just don't like the brother versus brother thing, and the class warfare of 1950s Dublin.

The acting is good and the writing is ok, but its not that mysterious as they give away the murderer within 30 minutes, though you don't know why and what the motivation was, so that becomes the mystery. Its a bit creepy when the flashbacks start showing you what happened and who did it. She lives in the same house???

Its possible they have set up a bait and switch, and have just fooled me into thinking I know who the killer is, but that would not be very good writing. But as the BBC announcer says at the end of the first episode: "Did she or didn't she?" So you never know. But I'm betting it was her, and there will be some weird twist revealed later on to explain her murderous machinations.

Like a lot of cop shows going back to Silence of the Lambs, there is a subplot of women fighting for equality in an otherwise male dominated profession.

EDIT: The rest of the 4 episodes is a lesson in how to be a pyschopath. Its more or less a male character role being played by a female. Equality apparantly means that women are cold blodded killers just like men. They leave a cliffhanger at the end for a second season. I certainly will NOT be watching another season.

Typical sci-fi show that tries to combine religious idiocy and science, thereby failing at both. There were some good space scenes though and I did like the ganesh statue sitting on top of the spaceship even if the religious stuff is bogus.

This show had a lot of potential, but the creator of the show (same guy as Heroes) and the network had creative differences and it resulted in a decent premiss being executed with many flaws in the plot. The glaring flaw was that they somehow could not locate these gigantic towers despite having all kinds of high tech knowledge. Its a selective blindness to reality that plagues a lot of sci-fi shows where we are supposed to pretend that the characters are very smart and capable except for the parts where they are amazingly stupid. Its called bad writing. It was cool for an episode of two though.

What can you say about a show where the imaginary blue unicorn is the most normal aspect. I'm reminded of Sin City, Blue Velvet, and it has the same over the top acid trip feel as the recent American Gods.

Its like a supernatural soap opera. Often its melodramaic and the writing is forced not seeming natural at all, like the writer was trying too hard to appear clever. Its dubbed English which gives it a weird slightly out of sync look and there is a lot of dialog so its very noticable. I only watched the first episode because it was already obvious it was going to be what I call a recursion story, where the same thing happens again in an eerie coincidence that it not a coincidence. I know what you did last summer and it was as boring then as it is now.

Its mostly the worst show ever, but there were a couple funny parts. Recommend 1.5x speed watching. There are a couple of the Community actors and several other moderately famous people.

This show is: Inane

A lovely show that occassionally captures a sense of wonder for what treasured past awaits to be found, and a sense of being in the great outdoors that is a hard sensation to capture in a TV show. The two guys are sensational actors and the characters are interesting though both somewhat unlikeable for different reasons. They both play below average guys that have struggled in the world, and at least partially mature into full men due to their hobby. The seasons more or less climax on treasure being found, and this third season has done a beautiful job leading up to this from the first episode. The flashback was done extremely well. The writing is good, though the day to day life of the two guys is tedious at times... hence, somewhat unlikeable. Much like searching for buried treasure, the gems within the show make it more than worth the boring parts. Its very British I should think.

The show ended on a high note that was very satisfying. Wish more shows planned their endings so well.
