I'm really getting in to this now! But what spoils it are the completely unrealistic and stereotypical British characters. OK we ought to get used to the fact we'll always be the villains in shows like this but the way they speak, the expressions they use etc are just laughable. Rhona Mitra is great but let's face it none of us speak or act like her character. Laughable that they use British expressions modified for the Americans so they'll know what the Brits are talking about. If a sea crew weas under attack I really don't think they'd be saying "Oh bloody hell, let's bugger off back to England".....

A lot of the show reminds me of The Survivors that was on a few years back which ran out of steam after 2 seasons. Let's hope the Yanks have better ideas for this as the bigger budget has potential as long as they don't get lazy and just spend it on a load of explosions to keep us interested.
