reidar-haraldsson This is simply a great show.It's intelligent, it's funny, it's well written and it's catching. (Rufus and Marley will reel you in as if you were a fish on a hook.) It's also a great mystery and shame that it was canceled. When you hitchhike trough the TV-landscape it is exceedingly difficult to find shows that's not stupid. Once upon a time there was a great hope that television would better peoples life. Make us better and better advised. There was also great fear that this media would stupify people and make them numb. I always found both arguments naive. Of course that was before shows like "Real housewives" and "It only hurts when I laugh". And so on. Today I'm not so sure. It's therefore a relief when you find a show that entertain without stupifying.Why was it canceled? No matter how hard I try I can't figure out how these TV-executives think. If they do at all. I suspect sometimes that they are merely instinctive beings.But experts and executives aside, don't be stupid, don't miss out on the Eleventh Hour.
morlvera I must admit, I missed this first time around, but caught an episode when visiting relatives in the UK.Not too convinced about the premise of the opening episode, with the implication that human cloning is somehow different, more complex and with the hidden imprimatur of the creator preventing a successful conclusion....it, ain't. If it's been done, it's been done and will turn out to have been no more complex than with any other animal. It's already been achieved with pigs and their physiology is remarkably similar to ours. What arises out of this is a profound and fascinating grab bag of ethical and moral implications, all of which the show seemed to side step, indeed it seemed more concerned with mid-market friendly metaphysical speculation on the nature of the soul - terror of the mid-west moral majority, perhaps? For all the hype about an intelligent approach to real science that this show seems to have engendered on forums demanding it's return, I can't help thinking that it fought shy from dealing with the (potentially) terrifying banality of what cloning represents and how it has already become part of the everyday discourse of animal husbandry and research (witness the pigs that glow in the dark - I'm not kidding!). To have shown that human cloning was just as banal and all that that implied might have taken a courageous leap of faith that the producers were unwilling to consider. I do think it would have made for a far more interesting, if contentious, episode though. I'll bet HBO would have gone down that route.Perhaps future episodes are better, I'm just not sure I can be bothered to find out.
j_hapino I enjoyed the combination of shows wrapped up into this one. This show is a blend of odd mysteries like House without the harsh character that I find hard to watch too often. It adds in CSI type investigations looking at microscopic details. The amount of science trivia adds interesting information about everyday things. There is puzzle solving similar to Monk or The Psychic where the main character uses his memory to piece together obscure information into the solution. I have not seen the episodes with Patrick Stewart, but the episodes with Rufus Sewell and I like the way he plays the character in a calm and cool, lost in thought manner. I think the time slot the show has is its biggest problem in gaining more popularity. 10:00PM is after many working people have shut off the TV and gone to bed. I think if this show was given the 8:00PM time slot in place of trashy shows like "How I met your mother", it would do much better in the ratings.
bgoding The science on this program is so bad and so far off the mark that it is not even fantasy. While many of the genetic manipulations described are possible in theory, the necessary tools to accomplish them are not yet in existence; Jurassic Park, cube and squared. And the time frames are impossibly short. The acting doesn't get any kudos either, but given the material the actors have to work with, that's no surprise. It's also pretty obvious that the writers/directors have a political agenda that won't be affected by facts. It was good to see R. Lee Ermey in a different context, but he was pretty wooden with his lines as well. The writing is trite and clichéd beyond belief.
