Spoiler thread for the new show which starts this evening at 9pm on BBC1/iPlayer (and I assume Disney+ for international folks).

It’s got decent reviews so far. Two episodes tonight and then one a week. 5 total, I believe.

No date has been set for Disney+ release from what I can see. Just "sometime in 2026." Since I don't have Disney+ at the moment, that is fine by me.
 

Episode 1 just finished:

It’s Arrival, but wet. At least so far.

Russell Tovey is channelling Shaggy from Scooby Doo. I’m waiting for him to say “Yoinks!”
 

So strange. From what I’m hearing Disney bankrolled this but who knows when it’s coming to the states and advertising is zilch!
This is why Disney is losing to Netflix. Netflix has a section called coming soon where basically you can track upcoming shows. For this show which appears to be mixed reviews with a significant budget I have to put a reminder in for myself
This has so much wasted potential!!! With a solid direction and good advertising you could create a tv event with this show. Maybe not stranger things event but something but instead it’s incompetence on a new level
Now I’m hearing just you wait where we take the new dr when she/he/they come back . It will be better this time. This is cats in the cradle b-bleep
 

The end of ep2 where the sea folk ‘return’ all the junk to the land was pretty cool. I don’t know how realistic in terms of worldwide coverage/volume that was but it was a lot of junk! Like, a few feet deep coverage of non-water ground across the world. Not sure what tech they were using to do it. It was fun to see The Titanic’s remains dumped in the middle of the city.

So they demand that land dwellers stay on the land, including airspace over the sea. Clearly that’s not going to be doable. There’s only 3 more episodes so I don’t know how much of a ‘war’ they’ll have time to depict.

Couple of drop-in references to The Doctor… who is not there to help this time though!

I’m definitely looking go forward to next Sunday’s episode.
