Demons on ITV

[siriusmew]

Antone watching Demons? First time I've seen it. Looks like a load of people dressed as cats doing interpretive dance! Whats it all about?

It's Buffy, rewritten.

You're better off with a Buffy DVD.

It's very violent, lots of action, but still dull.

Disappointing.

the 'smite' word irritates me big time.

as does the shockingly bad accent from galvin!

I love the word Smite.
Haven't got into this episode but others have been ok.

oh but it just makes me cringe.

make me think they are going to flick their hair or somehting.......

almost like teen girls 'smite' other teen girls with that 'flick'...!

demons is so bad its actually funny... what was glenister thinking and what is with the accent?

Is that Gene Hunt doing the dodgy accent? I thought it was then thought Naahhhh
OMG!

'fraid so..

Its wrong. What on earth possessed him? (apart from demons)

So many bad things and so little space.
1.Galvin's accent
Took me ages to place it - Agent Smith from the Matrix anyone?

1. Ruby.

Anyone who has seen this will know why. Red trousers, tartan jacket and leopard spotted boots. Enough said.

1. Luke

Has one expression which he uses sparingly I quite like the blind woman - just how does she manage that eye-make up?

1. The baddies/freaks/half-lives wear hoodies. Even ds thought that was crap.

Not seen it. DS2 wanted to watch it. When is it repeated ?

siriusmew - school fees may have possesed him.. the blind one also has v.bad make up and is basically a rip off of one of the charmed characters.. again cheese done much better with bigger budget

Oh I was so disappointed. What is with the creatures being made up like 'aliens' in Star Trek: The Next Gen?

Things like Buffy and Doctor Who work because you are drawn in to a believable world, even if it's slighty alternate. But this is just full of little touches that just take you completely out of the suspension of disbelief.

The silly prosthetic make up, the jarring language - 'smiting'? ffs - and most of all that accent Glenister is doing. I'm stunned that a southerner who so convinced me he was a Mancunian can be so comprehensively chewing over an american accent.

Gutted, actually, I did want to like it. tries to be positive Glenister does look damn good in a long black coat. Thank goodness Ashes to Ashes is back soon.

yes it is awful but it's kind of amusing awful like that dodgy one about the Archeologists was (can't remember the name it was so bad) - we're watching cos there seems to be a bit of a lack of saturday night telly at the mo and sometimes mindless crap serves its purpose. But agree the american accent is especially bad

when I told DH I set it to sky+ and he asked what it was all I could say was A British Boy Buffy.. but without the Whedon wit... its not horrible.. its jsut not great... it needs to take itself far less seriously.. and the mum annoys me.. she must have vodka straight up in her tea cup because she isn't annnoyed/worried/or curious about the lame boy buffy..
