>>Just really enjoyed the 1st series of this. What I want to know is:
>>
>>1) is this another prison break or 24, where, like mountain climbing, you keep seeing a false summit and never get to the final denouement?
>>2) as a corollary to the above, is it worth sticking out the full run?
>>3) did it run the course, or run its course, in the US (or is it still keeping you guys gnawing at your butts to know what happens next.
>>
>>In short, is it worth my bothering with the commitment to follow it next season?

>The first season hasn't aired fully here yet, unless you're talking about the 1996 version. They announced a hiatus for the Vancouver Olympics, after which they'll air the remaining episodes.

>The show is based on a novel so there's an ending somewhere, although a TV series will keep going so long as viewer interest remains (and all too often long after). I just watched an episode this evening. During previews for the next episode we heard "there's going to be another blackout". I guess that answers your question. ;-)

Fancy that! Our getting a series at the same time as you guys!
We're to get series 2 in Jan.

Aye, blackout 2 smacks of Prison Break where they broke out of one only to end up in another, in S America.
