I sense a serious fan here! Thanks for the links. I just finished the first two episodes and am looking forward to next week!

@bexn

I sense a serious fan here!

Haha, what gave you that impression? grin

I was a big fan of TGW (except for season 6) and this spin off looks really interesting. But I think I got a bit carried away in the last days with those (p)reviews ...

Thanks for the links.

You're welcome!

I just finished the first two episodes and am looking forward to next week!

That sounds you liked it! I didn't watch it, yet; I just skipped through the first episode and will enjoy watching both of them tonight.

Best wishes,

@janar72

Yes! I enjoyed them very much. If the series continues in this vein, I may come to like it more than TGW. BTW, I'm like you — was a big fan of TWG except for season 6.

Yes! I enjoyed them very much. If the series continues in this vein, I may come to like it more than TGW.

I wrote more in the other thread about me being a bit disappointed about the first 2 episodes and I don't want to repeat myself here in this thread. I just hope it will continue in this way and you'll enjoy all the other episodes!

BTW, I'm like you — was a big fan of TWG except for season 6.

What's your favourite season, or your favourite seasons? I think mine are number 1&2, maybe the second a bit better. There were such exciting story lines, cases and explosive scenes near the end of season 2. I loved watching it very very much ... slight_smile
