Most of the critics seem to like it! How can this be? It's the WORST TV SHOW EVAAAAHHHH and even Australia's Network Ten bumped it to a 12am slot halfway through Series One.
So we can now add "genius", "indescribably delicious", "crackling good, brilliantly conceived sci-fi series", "startlingly adult", "thinking-man's sci-fi" and "award-winning" to...
"FFS!! Enuff with the swearing and gay smutty bum stuff already!!", "OMG!! the gap between Gwen's teeth is toooooo wiiiide!!", "Owen's a vile, potty-mouthed, frikkin monkey-faced date rapist!!", IT'S LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN BY A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD PERV!!", ALIEN TECHNOLOGY HAS RAPED MY ENTIRE LIFE!!", THE CHINBALL WIZARD HAS DESTROYED EVERYTHING WITH HIS PISS-POOR VERSION OF HARD SCI-FI!!", "Touchwood ain't no BSG", "Touchcloth is the worst thing I have ever seen!!", etc, etc...???
Series Two is dooooomed!

His is the only review I value:
For adult audiences, but not mature ones
But can you trust someone with a beard like that who makes the classic "England" mistake?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the reviewer's surname! Any relation to Roger D?
