this is the other 'local boy makes good'; I'd like to pretend that I'm doing the dancing [but I'm not].

Got it all recorded, but not seen any of it yet. Last episode of The returned tonight - really looking forward to it.

Have just checked out the Guardian blog so I [kind of] understand what I've been watching; don't know what I'd do without the Guardian blog .

Watched episode 1 so far. Lead actor played the president's daughter in West Wing as well. It is very similar in mood to The Killing only that was urban rather than rural.

Wasn't episode 3 weird! But I shan't give up on it as it's kind of compelling and I love the scenery and some of the actors.

Hadn't realised about the actress being in Mad Men as I never saw that; lots of Emmy nominations floating around for the people in it. henetha; it's worth checking out the Guardian blog after each episode [I started doing that with The Killing]. It did say it was a bit Twin Peaks'ish, which can't be bad and goes some way to explaining why I haven't got a clue what's going on most of the time....

I agree that you certainly can't afford to miss a few minutes here and there or you risk losing the plot entirely!

Nah; half watch it then check the blog; simples ...

Well, the action certainly speeded up last night - last episode next week!

I'm a bit concerned about Robin and Johnno's relationship though, as Matt Mitcham seems to be the father of most of the town's inhabitants under the age of 40...

Ana; I was just going to write that!! Especially as it turns out that he owned her mum's house. It also means she may be related to Tui as well, doesn't it? Do you think he was going to tell her that on the boat? And that he had something to do with the death of her father?

I'll see what the blog thinks....

Whose father, Tegan?

Don't tell me I am an episode behind.

Where's Ana? She can't have missed the last episode ! I've just realised what she meant by 'whose father' as well [I knew what I meant, I think]. It were a bit good, this series. I was watching it in bed last night and the biggest spider I've even seen dropped onto the bed and ran straight at me which added to the excitement.
