Awesome., 30 September 2008

Author: wiseupsucka from United Kingdom

I'm completely amazed by Harry Preston's "review", I think the best bit must be this: "May I suggest to Rebecca Eaton that she add sub-titles to this show (which still has a few episodes to run) so that American viewers can truly enjoy rather than endure the British dialects and poor diction of the performers". It's incredible. It's also made me ashamed to have a British dialect on the English language. How dare I? Second Sight is great, please enjoy it, don't let a self appointed internet retard put you off a good few hours entertainment. Clive Owen is typically brilliant here and the whole show is a testament to the quality of BBC programs.
