Blackout (S01E01, BBC, 2012)

Disclosure:  I used to have the hots for Dervla Kirwan.  Then she got old.

Disclosure:  I've never had the hots for Christopher Eccleston.  Then he did Doctor Who.

I got fifteen minutes into this and then I glanced at my watch, thinking that was the slowest, flashiest, most repetitive thirty minutes of television I'd seen in some time.  Then I saw only FIFTEEN MINUTES had elapsed.

Good actors.  I'm sure there's a good script somewhere in there.  But it felt like the director had mainlined some Tony Scott / Ridley Scott serum and just ejaculated all over the fucking editing suite.

I might have to try this again - I might have to have some brewskis beforehand - if only for Dervla and Christopher.
