Skimmed a brief review of this new version in USA Today.  They didn't seem to care for it - especially compared to the original.  But, I'll still be watching.

[Bromptonboy]

Yes I did listen the cast, and I quite enjoyed it.  I'll certainly give the new show a watch.

Watched the First part of this tonight. Interesting so far. Does seem to be plenty of mysteries in the Village.

[spoiler]In the second episode, I was a bit confused near the end. They showed 6 and his "Brother" and another lady finding the ocean. But then they had some other flashes of 6 being tied to a post well 2 was emptying a canteen of water in front of him. Also showed 6 looking for the ocean again with the Doctor, but not finding. Then 6 in straight jacket in the clinic. Am I to understand, everything that we saw with his Brother and the Ocean never really happened?

Also, thought it was cool to see that Big White Ball make a few appearances so far. [/spoiler]

It's taken me this long but I'm just starting to look at this, this week.

To a degree, it's just as inpenetrable as the original and so, two episodes in, I really have no idea what's going on half of the time.

It throws me too since I'm pretty well into Person of Interest at the moment so sharing a lead actor between two things I'm watching at the same time really messes with the mind. Thinking about it, these could both be the same character at different stages of life. :)
