Stop, please just stop - Sam Neil was the bait and switch of this show to reel you in with a AAA name. He is not appearing again.
As for the show, I finally realise why it's so halting, slow and drawn out: it's the script. Truly, truly awful and uttley simplistic, as there is no actual content within it. The pauses accentuate this but they also feed off each other. I get they want a slow build up and character led development, but for the love of God you also have to write it...
Yet another show where as long as it looks cool, moody and edgy, then that's all that matters. No actual substance needed.
