I Haven't played the game or read the books, so I can't comment on how good or bad it is in comparison or how closely it followers its source media, I'm just a sci-fi fan and started watching it as it looked good, so am reviewing it just as a Tv show, and I got into it really quickly, it had great acting and really good fight and battle scenes and an entertaining story and it all served to suck me into its world instantly and I was hooked, I binged both series over a few days and am gutted that paramount have cancelled it and that there aren't any more episodes, I just hope that someone picks it up for a third series,

This was an interesting program, and has promise and scope, in a similar vein to many other mystery shows it was holding a lot back and not giving much away for a long time and creating more questions and intrigue, which is to be expected, and they did this quite well because the more I watched the more I got into it, which is why I am a little annoyed with the ending, or more accurately the lack thereof, I've been left with all these unanswered questions, granted 6 episodes doesn't feel enough to have told the story, but ending it there seems like the writers have hedged their bets on a second series and have subsequently left us in limbo, if it doesn't get commissioned again then I feel it will have been pointless to have began watching it, and it would have been better as a limited series of maybe 10 episodes but at least then I could have my ending, so we'll just have to wait and see what ITV decide.

I love a good sci fi comedy and this was definitely up there, it had a stellar cast of actors and it was extremely well written, fantastically Absurd and very witty as you would expect it to be given it was made by Armando Ianucci. The characters were brilliantly dysfunctional and all brought something to the party, I had many laugh out loud moments and numerous chuckles, and found it so entertaining and easy to binge, I was very saddened to hear that HBO decided not to renew for a third season, while I do appreciate that taste in programs is subjective I am very surprised by some of the unfairly low scoring of this by some of the other reviewers, which I feel unjustifiedly lowers this shows average score, it deserves much better, it makes me wander if we have watched the same show and that if we have what kind of comedies they usually watch to score this so badly!
