The Gates
A very good pilot episode, won't give too much away for those who haven't watched it but a gated community with more in common with Twilight and the Vampire diaries except it's got a bit more adult content (just not as much as True blood though)
Nice to see Rhona Mitra in a new series

Re: The Gates
I actually enjoyed it. I wasn't expecting to. I wonder if the majority of the community are "different"? The police and the owner seemed to be very secretive, too.

Re: The Gates
Maybe I should aquire myself the pilot and see what I think...
Kymmy...Not sure any TV show could be as bad as True Blood for "Adult Content"...apart from maybe Spartacus: Blood & Sand

Re: The Gates
I meant adult as in blood/violence and not in naked men/women having sex..

Re: The Gates
Well... I meant all of it - I'm not used to that kind of graphic violence/sex scenes in normal broadcast TV. Its not something that usually gets passed the UK Censors. Especially the C word in True Blood (although I've not seen the UK incarnation so I dunno if they censored it here).

Thanks for the recommendation - I need more TV to watch in the Summer
Rhona Mitra is also in Stargate Universe at the moment

Re: The Gates
Not looking good ratings rise for the first episode. It had similar ratings as a repeat of Cold Case which was in the same timeslot. Actually, Cold Case had a few hundred thousand more viewers than The Gates.

Re: The Gates
I enjoyed it even had to add a review on IMDB due to the fact some muppet posted about vampires and the sun even though the episode cleared showed how they do it

Re: The Gates
Those who don't watch based on ratings often missed cult status shows

Re: The Gates
That is true, Firefly is an example of that. I just don't wanna get into it and then it get cancelled without a proper ending.
