If you want to watch intelligent script and some of the bloody best actors from the other side of the Atlantic, this series will be a treat. Cumberbatch plays Tijiens to perfection, and is particularly good playing off Rebecca Hall. What a great couple of actors! Warning: the script is complex, and not for the simple-minded viewer used to dumbed – down american tv. I will not be waiting for HBO to ding dong around about viewing schedules, bought the DVD on Amazon UK; this one is worth owning.

Thanks muchly for the spoiler alert. I didn't read your "recap," but in your alert you mention HBO will be airing it this fall. We've been told HBO won't be airing it until "early 2013" and, as they have "no drama scheduled in January and February," that pretty much leaves March 2013 as the earliest airdate.

I hope you're right and all the other quotes are wrong as this looks like a sumptuous series for the eye and brain, and sooner is always better than later for indulging in quality.

I thought this week was a major improvement over week 1, as all the characters seemed to fit in well together (even Rebecca Hall's character was written better). Still the relationship between Cumberbatch and Clemens is my favourite thing because it's written so well by Oscar winner and soon emmy winner Tim Stoppard. Janet McTeer is also my favourite supporting player as McTeer always the most of the parts she is given. Cumberbatch wow can you say anything other then just his name. The costumes are so beautiful, sets are stunning but the best part as I've said is the writing by Stoppard (One of the best writers working out there).

Episode Grade: Episode #2: A- (MVP: Adelaide Clemens)
