I want to see this, but only because of Simm and Glenister really. I have no expectations.



Finally got around to this show, and watched the first two episodes. Seems really good so far. I'm going to hold off judgement for now though.



Very odd combination of network, cast and crew. Made by American network Showtime to air there and on the BBC, written by David Crane (Friends) and Jeffrey Klark (Mad About You) and starring Matt LeBlanc alongside Tamsin Grieg (Black Books, Green Wing) and Stephen Mangan (Green Wing, I'm Alan Partridge).

Good role for Matt LeBlanc, playing himself. Given a little room to be more adult-orientated and giving, in my opinion, very funny performances also might help him move a little further away from Joey.



I'm surprised I didn't miss this. The BBC arent exactly brimming with good sci-fi drama's and this one seemed to get little to no exposure. Very good.
