What a stinking pool of shit this is, compared to the breathless hype.
And I've only watched the first 10 minutes of it on Channel 4.
Edit: okay, the second episode, once everyone had stopped running around doing nothing but yelling meaningless commands at each other, in that fucking annoying Hollywood way of supposedly portraying how "heroes" react in a crisis situation, wasn't so bad, and made more sense. But even so. Hmm, a new (young and black) President wants to release a group of forgotten people from years of incarceration, but "the establishment" are afraid of them because "they" might be up to something. But we don't really know. We know they're not 'Mericans, so they obviously can't be trusted.
I'm struggling to think what on earth might have inspired this storyline ...
