Do you need to watch the film first?
When did you see the original, Dutchman?
If it was many years after the movie came out I can understand that, as it has dated quite badly.
No, the TV series is self-explanatory and totally self-contained. It doesn't reference the movie in any way.Do you need to watch the film first?
Maybe I was the only one not bothered by the English guy.Watched it tonight and it was superb.
Really really entertaining with a real a list of actors, although that English guy grated my cheese
Lots of plots already laid in the first episode too.
Been waiting for a tv series to catch my attention, good stuff
Spot on. Agree with all that.Loved it.
Although I like Sci-Fi I was never a big fan of the original film, perhaps because it concentrated on the tech rather than the characters. This one was spot on though, straight away you were rooting for the "robots" and seeing them as people...and that was before the black-clad gunslinger popped up and you knew who was and who wasn't "real".
I imagine as it develops, the robots will become "conscious" in the traditional electric sheep/blade runner way. Don't know where they will take the story after that, but its been good so far.
I did think it was a bit of a muddle at times last night, but fully accept that after the first episode they had to expand it and bring on new characters, hence the two new guest cowboys.Watched last nights episode. It's building up very nicely
It will probably seem very lame paired up against this and I do still find I can't look at Ed Harris as the man in black without thinking about Yul Bryner as the man in black, even though they do seem entirely different.Sky have got the film up on demand as well. Never seen it and not sure if I should watch it now or wait until the series is over.

Yeah, I was surprised as to just how much.It's really dated now. I wouldn't bother with the film.
Don't tell me it is like Marley and Me where it makes you cry
Never been big on reggae, so have never seen it.I refuse to ever watch that again!! Blubbed me bleedin' eyeballs out!!
lol iknew fro the first WD series that it wasnt getting anywhere anytime soon, there is a fantastic 'honest trailer' for WD on youtubeThey've agreed 5 seasons with HBO. I just hope it doesn't turn into a walking dead drag-it-out-athon.
I think it is just that for the robots it is programmed and the humans are policed, but yeah, it is factually inaccurate, unless they have somehow made the knives so it is impossible for them to penetrate flesh.superb episode
opening up all kiinds of long storylines
my mrs said she liked this episode better then the first
imdb search suggests these 2 new guys are in it for rest of series 1 , and the boy is in 5 episodes too
ed harris is just having so much fun in this part
one thing that bothers me is the use of knives
kinda means anyone can kill anyone doesnt it? humans and robots, even tho the whole premise is they cant?

With bullets in a gun it is easy, they just bounce off real people, but those knives sure as hell don't look like bendy rubber to me.
Me an 'er indoors love the Walking Dead. It's probably the only time we actually watch TV together!They've agreed 5 seasons with HBO. I just hope it doesn't turn into a walking dead drag-it-out-athon.
Another programme that has missed a trick again. TWD has done it twice and so too did GOT.Me an 'er indoors love the Walking Dead. It's probably the only time we actually watch TV together!
Yeah, but we still can't wait for the new series!Another programme that has missed a trick again. TWD has done it twice and so too did GOT.
Now, after all these months, it really doesn't matter who Negan killed and I guess there are many like me who now can't give a rats' arse who got the bat.
They try and hold the suspense, but people just get bored with it and it all gets very diluted and greatly wanes.
Same with Jon Snow. After 3 months no-one cared whether he lived or not.
Nope, I can't.Yeah, but we still can't wait for the new series!
