Following its every footstep.
Loving it. Perfect amount of horror, attraction, mystery, mystique, beauty and ugliness.

Oh, I quite enjoyed watching them separately, I can imagine it becoming a bit of a pain if you watch them all on the same day. It's a great show, in my opinion (see above).. but it might be a bit intense. ;) I wouldn't know how that affects the 6 hours you'd need to watch them all, but I could imagine an 'overload'.

Re: The Fades

I've loved it from seeing episodes 1-5. I could kick myself for missing the finale this evening though. I thought it was on at 10pm and not 9pm so I was busy watching Frozen Planet on BBC1. It does repeat at 2.30am but I'm not waiting up. I'll catch another repeat at the weekend.

I hope there'll be a season 2.

Can't wait for season four of Being Human either. :)

Re: The Fades

I can't stand the actors. Can't get past that revulsion, ruins the show for me.

Re: The Fades

Just finished watching this, blitz 6 episodes in 2 days lol

At first it seemed like just another high school geek fantasy, freak becomes hero, gets the hot girl etc, been done so many times, and the badies, OK ghosts instead of vamps makes a change but very similar deal having to eat people, the side kick is very annoying, far to much of his silly speeches and the Mork thing makes you want to punch him and the whole Green Mile healing deal is a shockingly obvious copy.

BUT

Then it gets a bit more interesting, nice plot, great sideswitching & who's the real goody/baddy stuff, some nice action and best of all

Re: The Fades

I was genuinely gutted when she was killed. It's been a long time since I've felt such sadness for a fictional tv character. :(

The attraction of imperfection, right there.
