Box Watch – Paradox

This five-ep series about Brit plods trying to deal with space-time-continuum anomalies, fate v destiny, the possible existence of wormholes, and… oh god I can’t fake any more objectivity: it’s shows like this where cliches come to… make more cliches.

“[S]adly,… the show’s complete absence of internal logic (or, if you prefer, its overwhelming silliness) meant that it was beyond help.” – Daily Telegraph

“[Although the final ten minutes can be exciting,] the difficulty lay in the fifty minutes of scratchy dialogue, robotic acting and general misery that it took to get there.” – The Times

“[The show’s] Prometheus Innovation Satellite Downlink offers a perfect acronym for the state you’d have to be in to take this kind of thing seriously.” – The Independent

It’s largely negative critical reception in the UK may sum up the show best but will never explain why I persisted with these five hours of ‘entertainment’.
