i loved the scene with nora, the call girl and the gun. in fact i loved that whole episode. and nora is very beautiful...
i loved the way the precise moment of the departure was conveyed in the penultimate episode. the son grinning and then the light disappearing as the circuit was broken was superb, but then that hideous, terrible, horrific moment that followed which explained everything abut laurie and why she ended up in the GR without using any words... brilliantly done. as an aside, given the state of the pro-life debate in the USA, it was quite a bold statement that the foetus was already a 'person' worthy of departure.
i liked that christopher eccleston's priest was so relentlessly nice (it's unusual for a TV show to portray a man of faith as anything but morally corrupt). and he got one of my favourite lines: "i say fuck too!" dreadful accent though, but david tennant's is just as bad, so even a regeneration won't help
where it really fell down was the main character, who was too dull to be a proper lead, and most of the characters other than eccleston's and nora were pretty flat. it ripped off storylines from two of my all time favourite movies too (fight club and american beauty), but i can't really hold that against it.
i'll probably watch a second season, even if at this stage it doesn't look like it's ever going to be an HBO classic.
