Charlie Jade premiers in the UK tomorrow on FX

Awesome new show

...

It is a very promising show and I can't wait to see the next episode, cancelled after a season but still looking for a home to continue so there is hope.

Watch :thumbsup:

Did you watch the first episode on the DVD that came with this months SFX? I liked it, one of my housemates was not sure but she never likes anything anyway :lol:

Yes, thought it was a bit scapish and I could see bits of Bladerunner, incredible potential :thumbsup:

I've been waiting weeks to see to it I had no idea you could get free DVD oh well I'll watching tomorrow. If you are both saying I should watch it then that is good enough for me! :thumbsup:

I've been waiting a long time to watch this too and just in case anybody forgotten it's about to begin in about 10 minutes on FX+

What did you think? anyone else catch it too

I think it clashed with something, but I`ve got that DVD. :)

There`s a repeat...

I would have to agree with you Alex it did look a lot like Bladerunner to me as well. The use of colour was interesting lot of green but did job of unsettling me making I'm looking at very different world but at same time without going on board on sets etc.

As for the episode itself it didn't have me on the edge of my seat but that is me being slightly over critical as the plot is complex one so it needed the pilot to introduce us to Charlie's world etc. I really like it's themes and ideas so far looking forward to next week's episode! :)

There you go again with your TV listing's superpower's. :thumbsup:

Thank you TV Listing's Girl you've saved the day again. ;)

:lmao: :01:

Wasn`t sure about this one. :unsure:

I`m tuning in for the next few eps to see how it develops . :)

Liked the look of it, not sure where it`s going though. :ponder:

Kinda how I felt about it. :ponder:

I didn't like the voice over and some of the acting was pretty ropey but I still intrigued by the story and I wanted to know where it's going. Will give the 2nd episode a look. :)

I really liked the first episode and found it very intriguing. I can't wait to see how the story develops over the season because it seems like an extremely promising show. I loved the moody Blade runner-esque look to the show and the use of colour tints to easily define which alternate universe you are in. The only niggle I have so far and this is a tiny one, is sometimes I don't catch what the minor characters are saying because their South African accents are so thick.

It has got a really good feel to it hasn't it. I'm thinking it could be a hidden gem, can't wait to see the next episode :thumbsup:

You're right it does have a really good feel to it. I have also had the feeling that this could be a hidden gem for quite a while, since I started seeing the teaser trailers for this on FX over the last couple of months.

Not long now until the next episode ...oh & btw there's a behind the scenes programme about Charlie Jade right before tonight's episode at half past seven. :)

Thanks for the tip off. It was a nice little insight into the series.

Enjoyed last nights episode even though it was slower paced. :thumbsup:

No problem. I haven't seen the behind the scenes show yet but I have seen the episode, which I really enjoyed as well. I can't say I noticed the pacing was slow I was that wrapped up in it. :)

I've watched the first 2 episodes now and, I have to say, I'm undecided whether to watch the third :unsure: It's not unlike me to give up on a show but I was almost tempted in the first episode <_<

I just don't get it. And I can't follow it :shrug: I haven't got any idea who any of the characters are (apart from Charlie, but if if his name wasn't the title, I'm not sure I'd remember that either :shrug: ) Or what's going on :unsure:

Maybe it's because I'm not much of a sci-fi fan and this is a more sci-fi show so I don't get it as much but I don't think I'll be sticking with it :shrug:

I thought the second ep was a vast improvement on the first one. :ponder:

Thought there were a couple of touching moments, like the Charlie/Jasmine thing, so shall stick it out for a few more eps.

I do find the actor playing Charlie Jade a bit bland, though. :unsure:

I think you are right, it is very much a sci fi show and that is probably why Nick, Karen and I really like it :thumbsup: each to there own though, no reason why we should all like the same stuff :)

and why I like it too. :thumbsup:

Alot of Charlie Jade has been set up so far so I do still think LP & OS should stick with it and see how it develops it may suprise you as it grows on you. :)

1 x 03

Wow. I am now seriously addicted to this show, I don't think I can wait a week for the next episode :ph43r: :thumbsup:

I love the settings, it is really refreshing to see somewhere other than Canada or Canada trying to be America :lol: love the urban feel with little futuristic twists. The different tints really give it an interesting feel, I'm looking forward to seeing more of the other Verses.

Boxer is a great villain, insane evil playful, it could be Scorpy :lol: come to think of it Charlie could be Crichton although more of a season 4 than season 1 as he has already seen and done too much by the look of him. I like his new "partner" as it were as he gives the audience a different perspective.

Poor Charlie, now his parallel girlfriend is showing an interest? how confusing, he couldn't really start another relationship - although it depends on whether or not he can get back.

Absolutely loving it :thumbsup:

Oh, damn you all :lol:

I'm getting so much stuff stored up on my Sky+ plus trying to watch dvds as well that I made the decision to delete the 3rd episode and give up on it. Now, I'm having second thoughts :rolleyes:

:blush: sorry but I think you should record it again :lol: :lol:

I'm really loving this show and I'm finding it refreshing how unpredictable each episode is. Charlie Jade himself is unlike any sci-fi series character I can think of.

I love how Charlie takes everything in his stride knowing so much while his partner, if we can call him that, is constantly being amazed by how deep the conspiracy goes and how much prove he's a obtaining. btw how cool was it when he jumps out of the army truck to escape! :thumbsup:

I really liked the paranoid isolation that is going on when we follow the girl from the Gammaverse just trying to survive in this harsh world unlike her own. She's pretty damn tough and it's surprising she's managed to last this long without getting caught. I suppose she got captured by Vex corp just before the police arrived. I wonder what they'll do with her?

They are really laying out lots of story threads, still following things in the Alphaverse with Charlie's girlfriend. All the while her Betaverse self is getting closer with Charlie. This is going to get messy. Do you get the impression that guy in the Alphaverse was her pimp before she met Charlie?

Anyway lots to like and lots to more to look forward to. It's a pity they don't show Charlie Jade in feature-length episodes letting us see two episodes a week. I think this is a show that's going to have a lot of re watch value as you pickup on things you missed first time round.

btw cool CJ avatar :)

Maybe, I'll give it another try :unsure: As I said, it's not like me to give up on a show .

I can't be bothered to look it up (takes too much time on my home pc :rolleyes: ) so does anyone know how it's doing in the states and whether it's gone to a second season? :unsure:

Looking at the IMDB board for it, it doesn`t look as if a second season is forthcoming. :unsure:

It has never aired in the states although it has aired in the rest of the world :rolleyes: they are currently trying to get it on air there and the producers are hoping that if they do they will have a good chance at Season 2, so fingers crossed :)

From what I read it did exceptionally well on the Canadian channel called Space and was expected to be picked up for a second-season. I think the only reason it didn't was because it didn't get picked up in the US and quite possibly over here in the UK. I have to agree that we can only hope it's successful over here and in the States, which judging on the quality so far it should do well once it finds a home.

Second season or not I think this is going to be one of those wonderful short-lived shows. That while you wish there were more, you're just glad they (at least) made as many as they did.

At least there's going to be a DVD release coming at the end of the year!

laugh it up, where did you find your avatar?

Here Link

if that doesn't work let me know and I'll give you another link to the site - well worth it :thumbsup:

I would love it if it remains 1 season but I have read a few comments saying some story threads were left unresolved :( it's a frelling gem though :yahoo:

I didn't realise it was Canadian, I assumed it was US made :rolleyes:

Maybe what I'll do is wait for the dvd and maybe I'll find it easier to follow when I can watch the episodes consecutively rather than weekly :unsure:

:ph43r: you could always use the site above :whistling: :innocent:

My pc's too slow to access the site :rolleyes: but I assume you can download episodes from it :unsure: Again, though, too slow and would take hours just to download one episode probably <_<

Xmas is coming up though, ( I know :blink: ) so those Amazon vouchers will be forthcoming :shifty:

:thumbsup: sounds like a plan, if it's got extras I'll be getting the boxset too :) You can stream too but you may have problems with a slow connection :( never mind, not long to wait for the dvds :D

So worth it btw :thumbsup:

:ponder: a good first episode but i think the all parallels world is going to be a lot more complicated than the first episode seem to show, i still like that charlie jade is not the typical heroe (he is a distant guy with his own problem)

the first episode seems to be making way for some interesting worlds and questions that will be answered only by going through the parallel worlds and learning about who exploit who :unsure:

I read in SFX that a second season of Charlie Jade has been written and they are waiting on a green light - it may just stand more of a chance at the moment :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:o

A show Alex likes that doesn't get cancelled :ponder:

I suppose Christmas is the time for miracles :ph43r: ;)

for those wanting the complete series of Charlie Jade Amazon UK have an exclusive DVD set available and is priced £34.99

:wub: That would be me :yahoo:

And me!! :lol: :lol:
