    Has anyone seen an episode of this yet, by any chance? I'm wondering is it worth the hassle of calling Bob in Boston to get it sent.

    I got the first 2 eps but haven't gotten around to watching them yet. Most of the reports I read were about the first episode and they were mostly been poor.

    There was a piece on it on AICN a while back.

    I was going to ask about this. Just got the first two episodes 'posted' to me but haven't watched them yet. I'll probably watch them this evening though.

    First episode was perfectly watchable. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

    I only saw the first episode last week and was really disappointed by it. I found the screenplay treated the viewing audience as pretty dumb and left little to the imagination. It (the first episode at least) did not live up to the hype for me.

    Is this another "Medium"? Interesting for 15 minutes then you wish you could plug out the series' life-support?

    I might watch it but I have a tendency to trust basquille's judgement

    Didn't see 'Medium' but i just found the first episode of 'Revelations' to be quite dull!

    After an exciting intro giving insight into the Big Bang and also
    a scene in which a girl gets struck by lightning! Sounds horrible but the way the lightning bolt strikes just made the impact of the scene less hard-hitting!

    The second half was just incredibly boring! The slowest final 20 minutes in a TV show ever. Shame.. cos i really respect Bill Pullman and Natasha McElhone (to a lesser extent) and they're wasted in this crap!

    And the show just seemed really preachy in the way it was executed. All these excerpts from the Bible flashing up between scenes and stuff like that.. definantly haven't been tempted to pick up any episodes since the pilot.

    My only real highlight of the episode really was seeing Martin Starr... who played Bill Haverchuck in one of my favourite shows 'Freaks And Geeks'.. was weird to see him looking older and less "geek"-ified!

    :eek: I love "Medium"! It's a great mix of character drama, L&O-style investigations, and the super-natural. Love the earthy down-played acting style and the marriage in it comes across as a very real one. I've seen the first ten episodes and definetely recommend it.

    To each his own, I suppose; it just got right up my nose. TBH, had Patricia Arquette not been in it, I would have hit the switch after 10.

    Just watched the first two episodes of this. It's very meh, nothing to write home about. I didn't really expect much and in the end wasn't dissapointed as that's exactly what I got.

    Don't know for sure if I'll bother to watch any more, probably will as I'd like to see how it all pans out.
