Funny, uncomfortable, accurate, addictive. The BBC at its very, very best.

Absolutely brilliant! I grew up in Manchester in the 70s and they did a fantastic job with this show. I can't wait for BBC America to show season 2. I'm sad to hear there's only 2 seasons of this awesome show.

Onyx Rocks gave it a10:
Loved season 1, when does the US get to see the rest of the series? Please show it soon!

Mad Bob gave it a10:
Well I have had the series taped and been trying to find time to watch it. I was honestly worried about the ending.... but no need it was superb! I live in Manchester and loved the series being based there and how rough and none PC the cops where. only bad thing is it's over :(

Lorne D gave it a10:
Amazingly well conceived and produced. Flawless TV.

Marcus R gave it a10:
I expected to be mildly interested by the sci-fiesque elements, but these combined with the cop-show format and excellent character development for a really well rounded show. I envy people who haven't seen the entire 2-series run in full - you've got such a treat in store!

Mark D gave it a9:
Part cop drama, part time travelling sci fi, part satire and social commentary. This is simply the best thing the BBC has done in years and years. Gripping, subtle, witty and original and the best thing is, series 2 is even better. Oh and Gene Hunt is a legend!

Paul B gave it a10:
Great idea, great characters, great setting. Manchester was grim in the seventies, but it's wonderful for the show

Mal R gave it a10:
A ridiculous premise for a series, but an absolute joy to behold. Makes me proud to see we can still produce drama series that match the best American output.

Honey gave it a10:
This show is absolutely gripping. While it's based on ideas we're familiar with, it puts into question the nature of our subconscious, dreams, imagination, and reality. The acting is superb, and I've been pleased with every episode. Another ace program from the BBC....

jan b gave it a10:
We had a hard time waiting for the next week's episode. Absolutely brilliant. Different plot, strong characters with an eerie twist. A mixture that kept us completely hooked. Can't wait for the dvds to be released in the States and for Series 2 to come on over here.

Anni R gave it a10:
i want to give this programme 10+ 'tis the best thing i have watched. love the un-pc pc's. hopefully Sams relationship with Annie progresses

Sheila B gave it a10:
The show is one of the best things I've ever seen on the small screen. The cast is sublime. It works on so many levels. My only complaint is that theres so few episodes a season, and only two seasons total being made.

Erick B gave it a10:
Great show! Can't wait for season 2.

Teri Y gave it a10:
A terrific show. There is a theory that those who go into a coma and heal are prone to handle illnesses by coma again. Perhaps a third season?

Kim F gave it a10:
I absolutely love this show, but I always end up having to use on-screen text due to the heavy English accents!

Barbara D gave it a10:
love it - please come back

Rebekah H gave it a9:
Very smart, enigmatic drama. I shudder to think how the planned "Americanized" version will ruin it.

Tina S gave it a10:
I don't normally watch many cop shows, but this one has a very original twist to it. It's fun to watch and makes you wonder if or when he will go back to his real life. Can't wait for the next episode!

mark b gave it a9:
This show presents an interesting combination of both sci-fi and cop show. It is fun experiencing this 21st century detective suffering the frustrations of dealing with the 70`s technology (lack of?) for solving crimes and interecting with his fellow officers. Plus, Liz White is a babe in her constable uniform.

Karen R gave it a10:
We'll be watching a lot more of BBC America shows this season because of shows like this!

MancAL gave it a10:
Having watched the whole series in the UK, it doesn't start to make any sense during the first season. Still, cracking performances and based in England's best City!

Joe I gave it a9:
the best show to come from UK in many years. Highly original and fun

Sheena W gave it a10:
Geat show! Totally original! Yes, a well-worn genre but with a great new twist. Can't wait for each episode.

Matt M gave it an8:
Impressive acting and good stories. The twist is a little bit annoying to me - couldn't it take place just fine in the present-day? But, aside from that, the twist adds a psychological element that adds to the rather harrowing nature of the main character's situation.

Pat N gave it a9:
Superb show. I have seen the entire first series (when it aired in the UK) - and really enjoyed it. Original, witty, fish out of water drama. You know that a poor american knock off is only months away!

Samuel T gave it a10:
Genius! Amazing performance from John Simm.
