Mental

http://i.imgur.com/ISbnv.jpg

Just watched half of it, not sure about it... not liking it much although the whole mental health setting is different and could lead to interesting storylines.

the lead guy really bugs me though, he has the weirdest british accent even though he's from london.

anyone else seen it? thoughts?

Re: Mental

i would imagine so since i was born in and lived in london all my life.

and no, it wasn't cockney, it was more like an american trying to put on a british accent

'I hear ya'
Those are almost never any good, and you sit almost the entire episode just getting annoyed over it smile
I will check out the series tomorrow and return with better background....!

Re: Mental

Watched half - boring
Watched again the whole thing - not bad, but it's nothing I've not seen before.

Re: Mental

After watching the first episode it is difficult to say but I think this show is not for me, sorry.

Re: Mental

Yeah, I visit n-e quite often however I don't write too much because I'm so shy tongue
and there isn't anything interesting on TV anyway...

Poland is OK I guess, I just came here last week for my long awaited holiday. As soon as I arrived the weather got worse and I'm kinda depressed because I'm going to Zakopane (in Polish mountains) on Wednesday and I was hoping for better weather. Ironically, I heard that the weather in London improved, my fraking luck!

Back to the subject:
There was nothing in Mental that would keep me watching, there was no spark and no chemistry between anyone even though the main character is quite good (bit too idealistic for my taste, lacks credibility). I'm not going to watch it but if the show improves I might pick it up again.

Re: Mental

I quite liked it. But then again - there's almost nothing on now, so my standards may be low. Will definitely be a good show for the hiatus.

Re: Mental

I just wait for True Blood and Burn Notice... I really like TB (I know you aren't impressed with it paisley1) and BN just gives me enough entertainment to keep watching. Something in BN keeps reminding me of some good old classic tv shows like Remington Steele...
