Ok, I'm obsessed with this show. Absolutely love it.

I want to have Tim Roth's babys.

Anyone else into this?

(Please don't give away any story elements)
 
I watch it regularly. Some of the stuff they show is a bit over the top though. Season 2 just ended on star world in India a week or so ago..
 
Great show and Tim Roth is brilliant as Lightman, although sometimes I wish he didn't solve every mystery every time.

The season's are a bit confusing, they showed 5 episodes of the latest season here in the UK but haven't shown anymore. Hopefully they show some more episodes soon.
 
Great show, although I'm not so happy with the direction things have gone in its latest season.

I find it very remarkable that Tim Roth, known primarily for film roles has managed to come to television and be so compelling. He's an outstanding actor, one of the best surely.
 
Brilliant show. Yet not watched much of season two though. Got 2 and season 3 downloaded but need to watch it!
 
I watched the first two seaons but had to stop because Roth's over-acting and hand gesticulation was doing my head in. Also the supporting cast are awful.
 
Quality show, although i felt the third season wasn't as good as the others. Also they never did say what happened to Torres' boyfriend after that bombing.
 
I like it, it's a really good show. Dare I say it has the potential to be amongst the big shows in the states. However - and it's a big however - there's quite a lot wrong with the show.

Third season:
Lightman's brand new random hatred/distrust of his partner (forgot her name) has come out of nowhere. It wasn't well written in terms of where it came from, nor is it well written as to how it is now.

Little things like how frequently houses are broken into also ruin it a tad. On the 'science' side of things, all they can read are facial expressions - not motives. Seriously, how can Lightman look at a face and realise that a man wants to kill another man because the second guy looked at his girlfriend funny.

I've got to admit, I find some of these things infuriating but overall I look forward to every episode and I really appreciate that.
 
I love it, it's a show that has the possibility to be something far better than it is though. Instead of these villain of the week stories though it needs longer, season defining, plot arcs.

Actually what I love about it is that every episode is a new start rather than a dramatic conclusion that has future consequences.

Yeah but I kinda feel it's been done to death now. Time to really let the story writers and actors free with longer plot arcs.
