That was a very clever ending, I didn't guess that at all!

Well that was lovely. I'll certainly be watching it again.

The babies, one of theirs died, so they adopted the baby from the fire station - so the three main characters are siblings and share a birthday with their Dad.

I'll try catch the last bit on +1. It was much better than I expected, lots of likeable characters so far and all good storylines.

Ahhhh I got it. Yes, very clever! Hope there are lots of flashback scenes... did I mention I like Milo?!? Grin

I enjoyed that. Just working through in my head how people are connected.
Looks like there are 18 episodes to this first series.

They are about 8 weeks ahead Sad

All I hear every week is rave reviews

Which is why I'm worried that this thread will somehow get spoiled

I knew what was going on as I'm impatient and looked it up on wiki but I didn't feel that spoiled it for me.

Love milo, I am a GG fan but first saw him in heroes and seen him in other stuff since.

I also saw the actor playing Kevin in revenge (thank goodness for IMDb).

It's looking like shaping up to be a good interesting series.

First sign of spoilers and I'm off :)

Ponderland - yes one of the babies was left at a fire station so the couple who gave birth to the triplets appear to have adopted him following one of their babies being stillborn.
The same seems to have happened years ago with the three main characters.

Last episode in USA tonight for a few weeks so time to catch up.

I won't spoil except to say it's all very good and all set in different times.

I'm happy to have people to chat to about it

I really enjoyed it.tears at the end and lived the twist. Didn't expect it to be a flashback. Loving the cast as well.

Ohhh! Lightbulb moment! So it's not the same thing happening again?
Right - need to watch it again :)

Loved the first episode. The twist is very clever.

It was when they started smoking in the hospital that I got it.

So good!

I've read ahead, knew what was going to happen, and still loved it.

Me too about the smoking, it all started falling into place then! Good twist, I enjoyed it and love Milo too, funny seeing Jess grown up and mature with a sexy 70s beard

I really enjoyed this tonight. I didn't get that it was Milo from heroes though. And did anyone notice Randall's Dad is the snitch from the wire, can't remember his name in that

RooDaisy think you mean Bubbles?

I thought tonight's ep was brilliant. Can't wait for the next one.

Reckon that as soon as the latest episode I the UK airs then it's fair game to discuss?

I clocked all the smoking around the babies and couldn't work out why!
Very clever idea.
