Because watching or recording it is too mainstream?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its been boring so far. Cant get into it, not enough character development.

Does it sink every week? Or is it an ongoing drama.

[MTVN]

Yeah is a bit boring

It's an ongoing drama

[Marc]

Is this any good?

[Mrluvaluva]

It's very slow at the moment.

Well perhaps ive read Aristas first post wrong but it comes accross as it tells the tale of each class and how they experienced the sinking each week.

Besides its already on April 14th which is the day before the sinking.

[Smithy]

Arista made the first post

I read in the paper it was an ongoing drama

Well anyway you were wrong yet made out i was a ****** or something.

over the four episodes to the inevitable finale, each programme tells the story of intertwining sets of passengers, from their preparations for the voyage to their frantic scrabble to survive as the ship sinks. In the final episode, screened to coincide with the centenary of the Titanic’s sinking, we will learn who makes it.

Bad idea. Im bored already, to rushed and no character development

[Marsh.]

Too many characters with random encounters that will no doubt be revisited in other episodes, cliched dialogue "Have you met Mr Rich, he's got lots of money", no actual storyline to follow.
I think going back and showing the same timeframe each week is a bad idea. They'd have been better spending the three hours padding out the characters and their stories and then having the sinking in the 4th. It felt like they got on the boat, had a drink and then ran towards the lifeboats.

Also, without the budget they shouldn't have bothered. Titanic requires a level of grandiose. This looked like 20 people on a ferry.

[Doogle]

Dull first episode.

[Marc]

Recommend it?

[Kizzy]

It was pants!...Absolute rubbish will not waste time watching another

[Marc]

Oooh.. then no.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It was actually awful.

I heard the BBC have done a drama series of Titanic aswell?

Hopefully they pull it off like The Voice is raping the X Factor critically.

[Marsh.]

I think they should just stick to documentaries. The main problem with the dramas is it's been done a gazillion times before. We know the same tired lines, the cliches, a lot of the details. No writer seems capable of truly doing anything "new" with it.

I love non-linear story telling but it just doesn't work here.
