inulroOh dear.
The first half hour was so bad as to be almost unwatchable. Where did they dredge that script from? Truly awful and unfunny lines.
It got a bit better in the second half hour.
Peter Capaldi was disappointingly unsexily evil. Maybe because the obvious comparison is Jeremy Irons in The Borgias.
A lot of the jokes would be hilarious to 10 year olds, but it's on after the watershed.
But Jason seemed to enjoy it, so it looks like i'm stuck with the run.
What it has reminded me is how much I loved the book when I was 19 and maybe I should stick with that instead.
And this after Ripper Street got my hopes up that the BBC can do compelling adventure drama.
