2nd series started last night, I really enjoyed the first one.

Missed a bit of last nights so just watched it on ITV's catch up player

Damn good programme-makes you feel it's worth staying in, in the warm to watch it.

I like this program not sure about this epsode though. I found the change in reality between the two series a little too much of a jolt. Still I will continue watching though

Personally I think it could have been directed better ..... it's very flawed and the acting is wooden.

The idea of it is ok , but it lacks realism.

Take the first episode in the current series. Raptor's are running around in a shopping mall and there are only four people sent in to deal with it, two of whom are completely incompetent. Not all the staff have been cleared off the premises, ie: the cleaner.
None of the entrances/exits are guarded. The entire thing is a farce. It could almost be shown as a childrens tv prog, I can't believe it's aimed at an adult audience.

Yes but it's saturday evening family entertainment. A bit of fantasy etc.

I like it.

I had a feeling that I was watching "Muppets meets Jurrasic park." Series supposedly set In the U.K. But we suddenly have shopping "Malls" instead of "Centres." Some big shagnasty "eat anything it see's," creature, runs about and nobody calls in the Army or thinks to evacuate the staff.... Bloody glad I don't work there.... This wasn't written by the same "Welsh" idiot that took over the DR Who writing, was it?
Get a decent writer on the job.... The premise is brilliant, and the future could be good, if a decent writer took over the scripting..
