Is anyone else watching this strange series?

Ah, yes, thank you. Related questions don't appear until the new post is posted, and the last post there was on 23 May so maybe there are some new thoughts on it.

Sorry only saw a bit of it and it was dreadful. x

[naomi24]

Haaa! Well named then?

[lady-janine]

no. what is it about?

[naomi24]

It's a dark, Victorian saga - with various literary characters playing the key roles. Dr Frankenstein, his monster, Dorian Gray, and I've forgotten who else, but I think Dracula is about to make his entrance.

[lady-janine]

thanks. don't think i'll bother. watching under milk wood at the moment.. never tire of that poetry.

[naomi24]

Well, not a bad choice. ;o)

I am watching it, and quite enjoying it, although I couldn't make out a word Billie Piper said in last week's episode.

I am enjoying it in a strange sort of way!

[naomi24]

Me too Neti, - and I usually hate anything about vampires and such nonsense.

I couldn't understand what Billie Piper was saying either, Cloverjo, so you're not alone.

Granddad G is watching it and seems to be enjoying it

Looking forward to it very much but sorely disappointed. I'm no idiot but couldn't make inside nor middle of it and as the excellent Braquo is on at the same time it was no contest. Really expected more but for me a case of style over substance-looks good but lacks interest.

[naomi24]

Still watching - but I can't imagine where it's going.

[netibiza]

me neither naomi, Billie piper just mumbles but she does have the consumption! I have to keep watching, although as naomi says I do not usually like this type of programme.

Last night's episode was really odd. I was glued to it!
