Okay so I've just come home to find my housemate wastching "The Fall" (with Gillian Anderson) iplayer. And I'm sat there thinking, "I've seen this" - I mean, I knew every character and twist of the plot as each scene unfolded - and straight after it finished jumped onto to google to confirm it was a rerun. But from what I can gauge it's not. So is this a near-identical remake or am I having an exceptional case of dejavu? :shock: :? :|


It does nick elements from every other cop show, including the lead female being a bit of a slapper. This seems to be de rigueur these days.

Luther Series 3 coming soon! :D

Ruth Wilson's in it again. I may have serious concentration issues when it's on.

I'm a few episodes into Person of Interest and really enjoying it - recent news stories about the UK and US spying on it's citizens en masse gives it added kick n'all. And I think I know where Jonathan Nolan got the idea from if you've ever saw The Dark Knight :)

Just finished watching the first season of Orphan Black. Very good and gets my recommendation. Don't want to say too much about it as the basic premiss is one of the big reveals IMO. However it's present day SF if that helps...

Heard good stuff about this.
Might have to stick it on my ever growing 'to watch' list.

Really liked the first season of this.

Really enjoyed the second season. More season-long story arcs and less "case of the week" episodes, and lots more on Harold Finch's backstory.

I don't think I'd heard anything about it.
Was looking at the TV guide to see what time Once Upon a Time was on and I saw this was on after it (different channel).
I expected it to be much more like The 4400.
Very pleasantly surprised that it wasn't (not that I didn't like The 4400).

I do enjoy Castle - I like the little Firefly references. :D
