Has anyone watched this? If so what did you think? We finished it yesterday.

Loved it. Could hv been an episode or two shorter.

I thought it was the most fun thing I've watched in years but I do think it might help if you are "that age".

Sadly series 2 and 3 are cancelled because the writers have gone to Paramount.

Loved it. Sad there is no second series.

Ah me too. Really liked it, thought it was quite refreshingly unique and loved the way it was styled and linked the 50s with the present day.

I was disappointed to hear no more series.

I found the relationship between geena davis and the cop quite hard to stomach. I started off liking it (and we did persevere to the end) but I lost a lot of interest early on.

Yes loved it. Shame I hadn’t heard no second series, but it actually could end when it did.

Why the problem with the relationship?

As a woman of her age I loved it.

I didn't find the (30 year?) age gap believable at all.

It happens in real life. He lived on site in the middle of a desert. His choice of fun women with a great personality in great shape was pretty limited.

DH and I loved it, I would have liked Bill Pullman to have been in it for a bit longer. It reminded us of the films and series we used to watch like, surface, cocoon and taken( the alien one).

Toomuchandcantcope · 23/06/2026 12:54

I liked Bill Pullman, he would have made it better I think. I was disappointed as it went from being a bit scary to (to me) being too ridiculous.

I really liked it. Genuinely refreshing to see older people centred and looking cool for a change.
