Nice to see a show with so much diversity too!

The theme music they played at the start/end of every ep honestly gives me chills

It reminds me of another show but I can't for the life of me think what (other than the obvious ones like Black Mirror etc.)

I thought this too. It’s very BBC drama though - like I get Miracle Day/Children of Earth vibes but I’m not sure if that’s just because if the casting or the pacing as I haven’t watched them in so long. I mean you know it’s BBC when most main actors have appeared in Doctor Who in some quantity lmao

I'm an avid Russell T Davies fan, and have enjoyed everything he's written/produced and this is no exception.

Such a clever, timely series. Not that I think everything in the show is realistic, but there's such a greatness to Davies' storytelling that suits what is going on politically rn. I also love his portrayal of family dynamics, general creativity, and all the past Doctor Who/Cucumber actors who make an appearance.

Also agree with @Hayden that the intro/outro track is super engaging, haha.

Good job it's one of those 1 series shows as it would be a shame for more potential series to be axed

It reminds me of Doctor Who with all the "end of the world" stuff and Murray Gold's music.

It's reminiscent of Tennant-era Who certainly.

Yeah I was thinking the apocalyptic eps of Doctor Who/Torchwood but then I didn't know if that was just down to most of the actors being in Doctor Who before like Blurryface said

She always came across as someone who isnt snobby about TV and would do the right project for her unlike a lot of other major names
