The show deals with holes in time, the creatures that come through them to create chaos in the modern world, and the team whose job it is to minimise the danger. It’s brilliantly paced, giving us lots of action each week but also just enough of the mystery surrounding the “anomalies” to keep us hooked. Best of all it has a cast of truly likable characters; everyone from scientist Nick Cutter to the team nerd Connor Temple are both brilliantly written and wonderfully played. One reason for watching the show is to see the monster of the week, but you also want to know what happens to the team, not just with regard to the big story but also the internal dynamics of the group.
You know you’re onto a winner when you can’t wait for the next episode and this has that feeling in spades (though not quite as much as Heroes).
March promises to be a quieter month, with no CSI and only one episode of Heroes, so next month's round-up will be a little shorter.

imo the Nikki/Jessica plot was pretty fun in Run. She finally comes out well , something that hasnt been shown before.
Nice to see you writing again Ian :)

Hi manfred.
Yes Run was one of Niki's best episodes. Early on she was one of my favourite characters but she dropped down as the series progressed. She's started working her way back up now though.
The only character who's been at the top of my favourites list since the beginning is Clair and she just gets better and better.
Thanks for reading.
