I like this show. It’s not a great show by any means, but it’s a competent genre show with some well-drawn characters.

the dialogue was beyond terrible. it moved extremely slow. it felt like one big cliche. I read a thread on another message board and the consensus is that it's terrible. i gave up on it partway through the first episode when someone uttered the line "and now we wait..." it was uninspired and just SOOO boring.

I have enjoyed what I have seen thus far. It starts off slow (the season) but it seems to get better as the season progresses. Give it a shot.

By the way, are those symbols that flash up between chapters still included or were they only in the TV broadcast version?

The symbols still come up.

Awesome, thanks. My set is still on its way (I'm from Europe) but I'm looking forward to it even more now. What an amazing show.

No problem. I agree about the show. It's not my favorite, but I am really enjoying it so far (I'm 8 episodes in). The PQ is pretty good too (a little grainy, but I'd rather have that than it DNR'd).

I'm also 8 episodes in, and really enjoying it. I just wish the set had been released a few weeks earlier so I could have finished watching all 20 episodes before season 2 started on the 17th. (I didn't want to see it since I wasn't finished with season 1.) Don't studios usually give you a little more breathing room between the release of a TV show's previous season on DVD/Blu and the start of the new season? With 'Fringe' there were just 9 days separating the release of season 1 on DVD/Blu and the start of season 2 on TV.
