Outstanding
We've been watching this five-part science fiction miniseries set in the UK. It's a Doctor Who spin-off (anagram the name!). It runs on BBC America, Dish Network 135 and also is a choice on other systems.
I must say I'm blown away. Two previous series were more like normal teevee seasons. I found most of those to be very entertaining--full of very creative aliens, actually a very different take on alien contact. Also, lots of vicious threats, tense situation, tough decisions, the whole range of rotten and good.
But this miniseries is on a whole other plane. The moral dilemma is gigantic. Government officials act in extremely nasty ways. The notion of policy making as screwing our children takes on a whole new meaning.
But then you get forced around to consider their point of view after what seems like an obvious moral choice..., well, I'm not going to tell you. You'll just have to watch.
What I will say is I'm on the edge on my seat waiting for Friday's concluding episode. eeeeeeeeeee!
