Paradox, and awry we go . . . . again. BBC, 2009.
Don't get me wrong. Emun Elliot can glare at a computer screen with the best of them. Dark and brooding, self-enamored and closed. Alas and alack, another good concept miscast and misplayed in oh so many ways. I can suspend belief as well as most, but as a threshold, not throughout. The supposed reaction to photos downloading from space depicting events 18 hours out is ? I'm still searching for a word in the English language that won't cause my blog to be taken offline.
The English government and scientific community give us 3 police officers. Cookie cutter and bowing obsequiously to key market segments. That's the entire reaction; almost. The 3, plus Emun, are watched live, and nonstop, by intelligence? cabal? shadowy unnamed men and women on monitors.
Each episode consists of these 4 cast members running around, in-fighting, bitching and, as a sideline, trying to stop whatever misfortune is portrayed in the photos. A bureaucratic reaction to the marvelous. Probably another stillborn attempt at sci-fi.
What will be the result of these new series? Beyond the ratings, of course. Beyond putting the brakes on any new innovative series?
I give Paradox 4 stars out of 10. Ho ho ho.
