only seen one episode and wasn't too impressed but was told to watch the whole first season and then i would "get" it. Haven't had time lately so once i can settle in with a weekend with nothing going on and can watch the tapes i will give it a good viewing
btw, i should also mention that i love when shows end darkly and i think that is why it succeeded where doctor who finales tended to fail. You can't end doctor who with such misery and since that is what RTD loves doing, he had to compromise to make sure a suitable "happy ending" was in place and he isn't good at telling happy endings. he's good at destroying relationships and making sure no one in their right mind is happy and that is also why children of earth works so well. =)
