first of all i would like to start by say it a refresh start to see a british drama that finally look and feel believable . patrick stewart do the role justice a ( ian hood ) and the government science adviser and with his constant and unwavering view on authority and thought about the future of real world science and how he feel it either be use or abuse by others . not only be the cast thoroughly maintain all the way throughout the series and but it make it character seem more believable than most other british drama . ashley jensen also deliver a first rate performance a dr. hood appoint bodyguard ( rachael young ) and she bring a refresh take on the unscientific and uninterested everyday view of science and and her constant battling with hood make for some very funny and memorable moment between them . the way the series keep all the scientific element more realistic i find positive and more engaging than the psychobabble we be so used to in other fiction or science fiction tv show . there be however notable disappointment with the series and every time an episode end i find myself disappoint that they do not seem to cover all aspect of the plot and sometimes leave open end story unclosed . although bearing in mind that this be still the first series and i hope that we see a return to form in the near future where these open end story can finally be give a significant conclusion they so rightly deserve . for those who enjoy more slow pace science relate plot line and this be the ideal show to watch a it always manage to stay believable and more importantly to the point .
