Anyone on the forum been watching this? So far, it's been fucking fantastic, good substitute for Heroes.

Oh, and for those who watched the clip and thought it is just a cheap rip-off of Heroes?

DONT. WATCH IT. NOW.

I freaking love this! It's been brilliant so far, really twisty and funny. Though people are going to be getting suspicious since both parole workers are missing......and dead.

I've never watched Heroes so I don't know whether it's better or not. What do you think Nathan's power is going to be, if he has one?

That's a very good question and my friends and I have a few theories:

Super speed: Considering Nathan is extremely hyperactive, it would make sense if he had this. Not to mention that ive noticed that throughout the series so far, we always see him eating junk food. Considering how fast he could go (if he has that power), might have to get a lot of energy.

Super senses: If you look at the opening credits, you can see that next to nathan is a wolf. Now, me and my friends argued whether it could be the ability to turn into a wolf. I found that very unlikey due to budget. So I suggested that he had the keen senses of a wolf.

Power of persuasion: Also during the series, we constantly see nathan lying. So what if he had the power to make people believe the things he said?

Well, those are the theories. So what do think it's gonna be ?

saw the first episode last night. thought it was pretty good. felt very much like Dead Set in tone, with a bit of Skins, i guess E4 have their mind set on what a drama should be like, and ain't budging. i like the fact it is a nice cross section of people, even if they are all stereotypes, but they are all unique.

i have no idea what nathans power is, i think the power of persuasion idea might be a good one. there is nothing to dispute that idea in the first episode anyway. the parole worker lady, who i guess is the original parole worker guy's girlfriend seemed very upset when he told her the story about them running off together, and it would be a useful skill for one of them to have.

Edit: new theory: i was just thinking and think i've decided what the searies is generally about, it may have been revealed already buy having only watched episode 1 here is my guess
each character is looking for love of some sort
the chav girl wants to be loved properly without it just being sex, her mind reading helped with that
the chatty girl thinks she just wants sex and perhaps thinks that is all that love is, she'll probably learn pretty fast that that it is not, with her ability
the quiet guy just wants to be noticed, to be loved as a friend, his invisibility will help with this, perhaps he will start observing people and learn how to act socially, we got a glimpse of this at end of ep 1.
the irish (?) guy wants to be loved by his mum and not have to compete with is step dad or whatever
the runner guy wants to be loved by the public again. perhaps at the end of the series he will manage to go back in time all the way to before whatever he did happened.

Funny thing for me is, it resembles a lot of what I see on my facebook news feed.
Every time E4 show some crappy imitation of something of quality, but with chav characters, the same bunch always post status after status about it.
