Zen - just dont get it

I just cant seem to get into it, it just washes over me. Also cant get my head around it being set in Italy with british accents (brain cant grasp this). Similar to the Wallander which I thought was utter tosh! Zen, fair play pretty tasty, but his voice just doesnt doesnt want me to listen - too monotone. Should of watched BBC2.

Def switch off next week.

I'm exactly the same. I missed the first episode but watched this one and last week's. Don't understand the plot nor why some actors are Italian and some sound as if they are from Hull.

Tonight's is the last episode.

I thought they were all fab and am gutted they are now finished!

I think its great - and am gutted they only did 3.

Rufus Sewell must be the coolest tec since Michael Caine played Harry Palmer back in the 60s

I thought it would be crap, but loved it.

Loved how they all acted very Italian, despite all speaking English. Very well done, I thought.

And that Tania is utterly gorgeous.

Good review (of first episode):

Cool and funny. PMSL at the broken desk Grin.

I liked it, but I wasn't really paying attention to the overall story, I was drooling over taking notes on Rufus Sewell's acting Grin

The books are really good and I was worrying that they would ruin it, but they pitched it just right...and Rufus Sewell as Zen was a master of understated charm.

DH was getting fruity on Sunday and I was half asleep and almost muttered Oooooh, Aurelio at him Blush. He says I accosted him though, so I was obviously reliving the desk moment in my dreams Grin
