Re: Paradox : Season 1
It's going downhill fast in my estimation. They keep laying the God/destiny/mortality nonsense on with a very big trowel, and I find I don't really care whether they rescue the 'victim' each week or not.
The whole thing is so clumsy.

tend to agree - getting themselves backed into a corner a bit. Question is whether the source of the images will be revealed by episode 5 or whether they are looking for a 2nd series

Agreed, if the theme of who/what/why re: the downloads is not developed rather than just being hinted at, it is going to get really tedious.
I had thoughts of this developing as a Fast Forward Clone but it is beginning to look as though it might fall well short of even that dubious distinction.
We can only hope it will improve. If not it will be a complete waste of an intriguing premise.

Re: Paradox : Season 1
I remember in an interview with DS, Tamzin Outhwaite said that they'll only be giving questions this season, not anwering them.
Here's the link:

Also, what is it with that cop? Does he realise that it's his fault if that woman from Holly's gets raped by that man?

Re: Paradox : Season 1
Wow, much better this week.
Never saw that coming, what a choice, who dies and who lives. I would have chosen the same, and what has happened to the shop woman ?
Next weeks looked good from the preview as well.

Re: Paradox : Season 1
It's still horrendously plot-led, which forces the characters to do inexplicably stupid or unlikely things to keep the story on track. Like tearing round the city in the hope of identifying which building might be reflecting the moon*, or a steeplejack making a schoolboy howler of an error, allowing his rope to chafe against a sharp edge.
* serious visual FX gaffe, by the way, the first quarter moon setting at 8.30pm in the evening is lit on the right side, not the left - something the autistic scientist would have known all too well. In fact that particular piece of evidence, as presented, ought to have made him think the predicted events might be a couple of weeks away, rather than a couple of hours.
Still, it's just a piece of daft sci fi, so who cares ....

Indeed - climbers always check their ropes....and serious one's double up on carabenas as well.
But ...as said it's only a piece of sci-fi fun.....and hell I'm still watching. Better than much that is on at the moment

It looks that way from the ending.
If they werent planning on it then they could (would ?) have left the final scene out.

Re: Paradox : Season 1
Not such a bad show after all
I do wish tv companies would make more shows like this in the UK and not leave all the good sci-fi to the americans.
