Thought we had better get a thread going considering all the hype around the series, not long to go now. I think it is going to be Marmite.

I think it is definitely going to be a matter of taste. I used to love stuff like Mork & Mindy when I was younger but I can't stand stuff like that now. I don't this is going to be serious enough for me.

I dont think the trailers help, they seem to be all over the place.

I guess we'll see next week.

I was expecting that. Like you said, the trailers are all over the place and I think it is going to be Marmite. They don't want to run the risk of everyone watching the first episode and saying "this isn't for me". From the looks of things they are trapped in some sort of virtual environment (aka the 50's sitcom) and the first episode will pretty much be this which will be a massive deviation from the feel of the MCU as we know it; interesting twist and a novelty for the MCU but not everyone's cup of tea. Two episodes will help move the story along and presumably get us to a place where they realise something is wrong, it isn't real and they start to plan their escape.

Gene Hunt's lawyers should definitely be watching closely.

Life On Mars ... fantasy/drama police detective series set in Manchester in the 1970s (or is it...) from about 15 years ago. Every episode starts with a monologue:

“My name is Sam Tyler, I had an accident and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.”

Gene Hunt is his commanding officer, and a proper parody of every piece of police excess you ever saw on The Sweeney, The Professionals or Starsky and Hutch. It’s a great series, with its sequel Ashes to Ashes it ran for 5 years. And it’s all on Netflix.
