I have watched the series on Sci Fi. It is fantastic and I am watching it over again on BBC. As they have also bought exclusive rights to the second series, I will be watching closely to make sure they treat the show right. They have previously wrecked brilliant series such as X Files and Buffy.
Have you heard the actors accent for real, Matt? totally American! I watched a special on Heroes just before it started on Sci Fi and he said he had trained at the RSC in England...luckily they don't teach the Dick Van Dyke way ;o)
Even better is that the actor who plays Isaac is English and can pull off a decent American accent.
