hawkwing_lbSo, since I received small-but-unexpected monies yesterday, I bought myself a present.
Primeval series one. Six episodes of dinosaurs, time travel, snarky civil servants and incredibly stupid (or at least single-minded) academics.
It's kind of hilarious. I watched it all last night. And I really liked the snarky civil servants. The guys the audience is supposed to identify with, though? The only reason they do not all die three times an episode is because this is television.
The special effects are kind of crap, but if the characters are stupid, they're entertainingly so; the actors can act, and the dialogue is pretty good, more than occasionally witty, and sometimes freaking brilliant. I'd definitely watch more of this.
