The pilot episode is directed by Scorsese, who is also the executive producer. As such, it looks fantastic, too. I was watching an episode at my mother's house, and she wouldn't believe me that I wasn't watching a movie. Superb.

I seriously love this show right now.
Gutted that I can't check this out as it's a Sky exclusive channel and I prefer Cable to satellite TV as the broadband is far superior but the downside is that you miss out on some channels.

I am hoping it will turn up on an attainable channel fairly soon.

Walking Dead Season 2.... hmmm. Not exactly the trailblazing opener to season 2 that I had heard about or was expecting. Still watchable but there is not enough for me to put it anywhere near cult status let alone classic status. I am still itching to see some memorable set pieces that separates it from the multitudes of Zombie media out there.

BBC Two - Origins of Us

Informative, engrossing and Alice Roberts too
