I guess this is a sci-fi show out of the UK, sort of like a Twilight Zone.  I have been hearing good things so I watched the first episode over lunch.

This episode reminded me strongly of Liquid Television from MTV back when that was still a good channel about 20 years ago.

Trust me.... watch the first 10 minutes of the first episode.  If you aren't on board for the entire show, I will eat my hat.

6 episodes on Netflix, total.

Second episode as interesting as the first.  We'd need a spoiler thread to discuss it properly.

Watched this because the DVD I ordered was more damaged than the NFL playoff chances of a joint Minnesota-Cleveland team.

QUOTE
watch the first 10 minutes of the first episode

Not even.  Five minutes.

Watched the first 3 eps.  2 > 1 > 3.  3 was a distant third.  2 was goddamn good.  1 was a rather close second but made a slight misstep halfway through.

Just watched the third episode.

Moral of this show seems to be, "Technology will fuck your life."

If you use anything like an irresponsible asshole, it's probably got a chance to do that.

I have watched the 6 that Netflix has, and apparently there was a XMAS episode last year with Jon Hamm that isn't available yet.

If you haven't watched it yet, don't binge.  Watch one, then recover for a day or so.  This stuff should be taken in small bites then allowed to digest.

I binged, but still enjoyed it.

And I'd say that XMAS episode you haven't seen yet is quite probably my favorite of all of them.  Find it.  Watch it.

Yes, the XMAS episode was among the top 3 of all of them.

I borrowed the internet's copy.

I have watched the first two episodes today, and they were both great.

I'd go 2 > 1 > 4 > 5 >> 6 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3.

I could be talked into flip flopping 1 & 4, and in fact, I've already done so while typing this sentence.

1, 4, and 5 are interchangeable to me. Stick around for the credits on #5.

Awesome.

In related news, I actually did a live chat with their folks and asked for the same treatment for The League.

Let me clarify: episode 1, season 1.
