I watched this series on BBC America and it is definitely worth watching. Hope its in HD tonite.
If you don't mind some spoilerish pics, here's a slide show of some of the scenes.

btw on BBC they showed both seasons, one after another, though I believe there was total of only about 13 episodes. They are just showing season three in the UK, I believe.

It's not the greatest sci fi show, but it has its moments, despite a huge plot hole.
Check it out.

Wow. You would think someone, anyone would have watched it and commented on it.
Maybe the sci-fi channel is truly dead.....

Wow, series premiere over a year and a half after we (Canada non-premium channels) got it? That's odd.

It actually showed prior to this in America on the BBC America channel. Which pretty much means no one knew about. It is just the sci-fi channel premiere, and in hd at that.

No it's definitely not HD, just crappy looking widescreen SD, but it's a pretty good series so I'm willing to put up with it. I'll be looking forward to the second season once they start running it.

It's definitely not the stretch-o-vision type widescreen since all the proportions are normal. And the quality is definitly better than sd. So I just assumed it was hd but just filmed crappy.

Tech specs

16:9 widescreen SD, and not even as good as a decent widescreen DVD at that.
