“The Hollywood Reporter called the series “a crackling good, brilliantly conceived sci-fi series that targets actual grownups” while the Los Angeles Times described the show as “indescribably delicious”.

TV Guide said the programme was a “a cheeky and often startlingly adult spin-off” and Variety said it has the fixings of a thinking-man’s sci-fi series that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The Kansas City Star says the programme is “one of the best serial dramas to arrive on American television in 2007″ and The Philadelphia Inquirer describes it as “by turns super-slick, raw, bizarre, hilarious, spooky, scary and sublimely sexy”.”

Phew, all rather promising. Hanging out for series two – I hope it kicks the first series.
