Likes to mess with stuffs.


Just wondering, anyone watching BBC's Paradox? It's a crime sci-fi series. From the brief description, it sounds a little like '7 Days' or even the current 'Flash Forward.' Was wondering if it's any good.

It's not great unfortunately. The script is very clunky, and the actors all seem a bit embarassed to be there. Its a low-fi attempt at what it is inherently a high-concept theme.
From what i have seen, Flash Forward is infintely superior.

Deeply mediocre, I'm afraid.

Cryptic images apparently broadcast from the future lead a team of rather miserable detectives to arrive (usually just too late) to prevent some rather sordid and mundane crimes or accidents, and stand around looking grim (if they succeeded) or really grim (if they failed).


Over-padded, patronizing (yes, we noticed that the scene we just saw was one of the "future" images - we don't need to see the image again with a whooshing noise every time) and no likable characters (for most of the episode you just want to lay about the team with a 2x4) or memorable baddies...

So, we Brits will just have to keep our fingers crossed that the Xmas Dr Who isn't too camp and then wait for season two of Being Human.

I am with you on the second season of Being Human.
Glad to see Nina is being given a bigger role this time.
