Can't be any worse than the original British/ITV/Patrick Stewart show

Re: The Eleventh Hour TV Series (2008)

I quite liked the original, best thing on ITV1 that year which goes a long way to seeing what I think of that broadcaster
I'm certainly going to give this version a go and I reckon a US version of Bonekickers would be far more entertaining than that travesty I watched, well put up with until switching off in disbelief

Re: The Eleventh Hour TV Series (2008)

Episode 1 - Resurrection

Episode 1 was not bad, directed by Danny Cannon, the main leads Rufus Sewell & Marley Shelton are good together, the plot...spoiler (about cloning a child for a rich man, who lost his son) is exactly the same as the UK episode 1 with Patrick Stewart & Ashley Jensen shown in 2006, which was only 4 episodes.

Not sure there is anyone here if you already saw the UK version off the series which was pretty good, i assume they will extend the series longer than the UK version. But i enjoyed the US version nevertheless. 8/10

Re: The Eleventh Hour TV Series (2008)

thought the premiere was quite solid and they definitely built on it in the second episode...the twist at the end completely fooled my fiancee...and shes usually pretty good at figuring thigns about before they happen...

Re: The Eleventh Hour TV Series (2008)

Seen this advertised on Living so decided to check it out, 3 eps in it's a sort of Fringe clone without the comedy, not much chemistry going on between the two leads but we'll see if they get better.

Re: The Eleventh Hour TV Series (2008)

I gave up on this after ep 1 last year .. I found Rufus Sewell's performance rather crap tbh, and his partner blander than poached cod
