I'm so glad you like it! It blew me away, too, although I nearly didn't watch it, because the only whole episode I caught, other than the last was ep 7, which is written by that Man of Evil, Chris Chibnall and I thought, "Hmm, and it looked so much better in the last five mins of ep 1." Luckily, I caught the last episode after all, and was hooked. I had to get the DVDs to see the other eps eventually, but was glue to S2 and A2A when it was on.
I can see how watching it after Simm was the Master rather than before, as those of us over here, did, could be very disturbing. Poor Sam. Heh.
But, I'm bouncing about happily here to think you like it; it just isn't like anything else that I can think of. Might well be the UK's TV show of the decade in my book. (Although that does include Spooks, and that was also Kudos and also ground-breaking when it started - it's just easier to forget that, since 2002. Obviously, DW returned, but, no - Spooks or LoM, definitely!)
