just watched episode 1 of season 1 from FX. Missus and i thought it was pretty bad. Very cheesy, terrible acting, and not particularly compelling. hard to work out what all the fuss is about

Almost as bad as Being Human!

I was not overly impressed by the first episode on FX and thought the mind reading part was badly done as it was to unclear what people were thinking in most cases especially with the creole accents everyone seemed to have.

Hopefully it will get better after a few episodes.

It gets a hell of a lot better, you'll be impressed as the series goes on.

Does her mindreading get clearer at all.

I think the series (#2) has gone throught the roof, There's so many facets to not only the characters but also the mythology it's representating.

I look forward to each new episode

Yeah, she stops using it as much. There's only a few times where there's loads of voices at once.

It was not the loads of voices that I disliked it was the in and out sound effects that annoyed me which with the strong creole accents made them difficult to hear without using the V+ rewind facility.

I gave it a whirl but won't be bothering to watch anymore.

Just not for me.

Just finished watching Ep3 and well impressed with it so far.

we enjoyed teh 2nd episode so thought we'd stick with, but episode 3 put us in 2 minds again! I've come to the conclusion Sookie's brother just sannoys me too much. He can't act for toffee so ruins any scene he's in, as he make it too cheasy.

I think though that that's the point of the whole character, just too stoooopid and typical redneck who for some reason thinks that everyone should love him for it .. His roles though do get a lot better as the show goes on..
