Mary Garcia I thought the cast did a very good job. The writing and direction seemed to leave something to be desired. The character of Edie was too angry and seemed too distracted to really have any kind of romance going on. Most of the time she came across distant, and her personality came across as rigid, and not compromising. The male lead,Michael, played by the very watchable Stephen Moyer, was much more sympathetic, more likable, and more committed to the relationship. I liked the supporting cast.I felt a storyline could have been added for Michael's roommate - at least more than there was. As an American, I was aware of a decided bias toward the London storyline, which was fine with me. The characters were more interesting and just "nicer". The music was enjoyable, and fit well. The locations were well shot. It was certainly a good series, but not a great one. Maybe the lead female character needed another episode to convince me of her sincerity.

D.H. This started out well enough. Sure it is overly stylized, the music, though good, overwhelms the film, and some of the plot points are heavy handed, but I could overlook that in a made for television movie. The leads (Jones and Moyer) are attractive, and have some chemistry. I found Moyer gives his character a wounded quality of one whose circumstances have forced him mature before his time. Jones' character is, at times, inexplicably prickly and insensitive, but overall, she carries it off. Together, the two appear to have great potential. However, the constant arguments that seem to come out of nowhere, can and do take their toll on the viewer. Like the couple, I still came back for more. I watched all seven episodes, despite eventually wishing the pair would just end it already.

Clapperboard Having experienced a similar transatlantic romance, she in NJ and I in Manchester (not so cool maybe?) I enjoyed this immensely and saw lots of parallels. All that aside, the ups and downs of Michael and Edie's relationship keep you coming back for more in this arresting 7 part drama.Look out spoiler ahead: Unfortunately, the will they won't they roller-coaster ride ends in such an unsatisfactory manner - you are left feeling empty and unfulfilled - perhaps much like the central characters. I imagine the lackluster ending sets the scene for a sequel - which would be a shame, because I feel there's no way you could continue the story without diminishing the feel, intrigue and impact of this original piece of work.

kateherbert This is as it's producers describe: cool with a capital "C". It helps that the entire cast are beautiful, especially Edie, and the two lead roles are played by very talented actors who clearly have a long and successful road ahead of them. I guess this is not aimed at a 30-something audience, but I am enjoying it nonetheless.It's a really a joy to see the use of split-screen, largely pioneered by Kiefer Sutherland's '24', and I really enjoy watching events from a number of different characters' points of view.The settings of the grungy second-hand NY record store, Michael's docklands loft apartment, Edie's tiny boho NY.flat and the impersonal environment of Michael's overcrowded open-plan City office are all very well thought-out. The character development is also very intelligently planned. I am only onto the third episode, the plot is a bit thin so far, but I have been drawn-in and I hope that it develops with greater depth and complexity over the rest of the series.This fascinating piece of television drama reflects the reality of the fact that the world is getting smaller and affairs of the heart are increasingly spanning the globe and there's no stopping it. It also speaks volumes about the need for innovative and creative direction and camera work which can grab the attention of an increasingly critical audience.
