BBC unveils "epic" new sci-fi series

Quote:
Outcasts follows a diverse group of people who are living in a small town on a fictional planet that has been colonised by humans. These pioneers are helping build a new community far away from their loved ones and are optimistic about their future, but the planet holds many mysteries which threaten to destroy the fragile peace.

The cast includes Hermione Norris (Spooks), Danny Mays (Ashes To Ashes), Eric Mabius (Ugly Betty), Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica) and Ashley Walters (Small Island).


it starts sometime next month and the first trailer looks good.
I'm looking forward to it. it.s SF. it's british. it must be good.

Sounds a lot like Earth 2. If it's half as good I'll watch every ep. Smile

yep your right, does sound a hell of a lot like earth 2... liked that show, though its probably mostly nostalgia talking there, but i do remember enjoying it at the time.... i guess it was due for recycling from emotionally dead and creativity devoid producers.

I never liked BBC's scifi shows. They always feel like low-budget productions.

Red Dwarf was in another time, in which comedy and silly situations more than made up for low production values. A supposed serious show looks ridiculous if the production values are low.

BBC sci-fi is usually crap and seems to be more aimed at 12year olds than adults.

like "survivors" it started off fairly well than turned into a fucking drama series for teenagers :S

It starts on Monday, 7th February and the second episode the next day. Apparently the first episode is kinda downbeat and it needs an ep or two to warm up.

Here in UK series is only 6 episodes, so by episode 2 we'll already be 33.3% of the way through the season Smile

Still, i'll probably watch it!

Trailer from OP is down, so I found another one if others like me didn't see the first one.



As other have stated, its Sci-Fi, its British so I will mostly likely also watch the first couple of episodes at least Smile

If this feels indeed like a scifi show it will be hated by everyone on this forum and everyone else and therefore last 1 max 2 seasons.

Edit: Drama/scifi... They will pull a stargate universe. Fucking morons.

I had no proble, with SGU, I thought that it had potential.

But this feels like a drama... not scifi :\

You did notice they say "drama", not "pathetic farce, trying to imitate a far superior show with retarded characters and brain-dead story lines", right? Laughing

If you think SGU had a brain-dead storyline i can't think anything else than your judgment is clouded as in the end it got pretty exciting. I will agree however that the show itself has some seriously shitty characters and overly boring episodes, but the show itself and it's goals was interesting to me.

I haven't seen the trailer for this show so i might have spoken out of my ass, but that's because i despise trailers. I find them overly spoiling and often lying. I always wait till i get the product and make up my own mind.

Yuck! A bunch of people running around showing a lot of "emotion". Hardly saw any sci-fi at all. My expectations just took a nosedive. Sad

Who cares what other thinks?!

Not half bad, and as the majority of tv series I think it will improve given time.

well the show was created by the guy who did the fixer, and party animals... also wrote some spooks. the concept has huge amounts of potential... but it's not handled properly. Sad i hope it'll get better. It's as if mamet wrote a cartoon series based on an easter bunny robbing homes with a machete.
