Is anybody else watching this series on WGN?

Thoughts?

I'm watching it and enjoying it.

Some of the science is a bit hokey and the timeline is out a little.

But it's a pretty good drama, got this weeks episode to watch yet.

I really like the focus on the moral questions of the project, and the acting is very good.

Glad I stumbled on it on Hulu. :ok

for Gob: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_(TV_series) If it's available in Oz, you might want to check it out.

I bet LJ would like it, too.

It's definitely on my short list to check out soon BSG, (we just finished spending alot of our television time over the past couple of weeks binge watching the three seasons of Deadwood, a fantastic HBO series from 2004-2006 that we hadn't seen)

I've read a fair bit about that surreal town that was created to pursue The Bomb...

There's also a not too bad movie that was made a while back with Paul Newman about it (but that focused more on the major players than the dynamics of the place)
