This was a fascinating look into a post apocalyptic Britain. Though not a massively original concept the series was well constructed and brilliantly acted by a star studded cast of British TV worthies.

I'm currently watching this in the UK, so I'm a little irked that it's been axed, though it seems absolutely typical that all the decent US drama series never run their full term, the fickle finger of ratings destroying them before the full story is committed to film for posterity. Dark Skies, American Gothic, Crusade, My So Called Life, Roar (though that was actually rubbish, so no loss there), but it's really frustrating in the UK because just as you get really involved in a series, boom, it's gone, no matter how well the ratings were doing over here.

Having said that Prey is not in the same league as Dark Skies, and JT Walsh will be missed.

I don't often get the opportunity to see US TV drama that takes as many risks and packs as much of a punch as this. Most US stuff that is supposed to, ie Homicide, is really quite tame compared to much British drama, but Oz came as a very pleasant surprise. This was high quality, brilliantly acted, and frighteningly real (at least in the sense that humans are human, and not living embodiments of various moral viewpoints, which is how many drama characters are utilised).
