Just watching Ep1

[doleritedinosaur]

Yes!

& I surprisingly liked it. Very interesting storyline & such good cast.

[TheDrsDocMartens]

We enjoyed it. Some great lines and references to other series.

[PopFizz]

Just saw this pop up in iPlayer and wasn't sure whether to give it a go. Might tonight then!

[taytopotato]

Yes! Loved it. Brilliant storyline by Patrick Ness.

[TheSecondOfHerName]

For those who have watched it, what age is it suitable for? My children (aged between 12 and 16) are all Doctor Who fans.

[TheDrsDocMartens]

Fine for teens.

[RustyBear]

It's a bit gory, iPlayer does come up with a warning about violence and upsetting scenes, and asked if we were over 16. Much closer to Torchwood than Sarah Jane Adventures, though without the sex.

I do wonder sometimes why violence is acceptable on TV for teens, but sex isn't...

[TheSecondOfHerName]

Thank you for the warning RustyBear the 14 year old is quite sensitive so I'll watch it myself first.

[Ncbecauseitshard]

It felt a bit American with the teens looking 25 but I enjoyed it.

[TheDrsDocMartens]

Yes they were old weren't they. Especially since one was supposed to be ahead!

[TheSecondOfHerName]

found the first episode frustrating to begin with as I felt it was pandering too much to US audiences (references to Downton Abbey and the Queen; explanations about sixth formers not wearing uniform) but it grew on me. Patrick Ness is a good writer and there were some great lines.
