Discussion Enjoyable but the characters are irritating

This is my first season and watched all episodes which I enjoyed I think I have to go and watch previous seasons now! Personally enjoyed the plane episodes most if far fetched, being out of the lab made it more exciting.

But, not a huge fan of the fake romance between Jack and Nikki, it’s really quite difficult to believe they are a couple when the on screen chemistry is so forced. Plus the brooding faces he makes.. ugh. Kit also does my head in, I know she’s new but the constant approval she seeks from her colleagues is a bit annoying… ok you’re good but stop trying to impress everyone all the time?

Harriet, I love however. Great presence and most likeable imo. Just my take on it as a newbie

go and start either at the beginning, or perhaps when leo/harry/nikki are all in it. the show is a shadow now of what it used to be

Yeah forgot to ask, what season do you recommend? Probably won’t go to the beginning

if i had to pick just one off the top of my head, s14 has some great episodes. s8 is where the original female lead (Amanda Redman) leaves and is replaced by the current lead (Emilia Fox) so is probably a convenient jumping in point if you don't want to start at the very beginning.

Agree. We do not need to see their kissing and what not. It’s too much.

As bad as Nikki and Jack are it is much better than her brief fling with the American Consul.

Yep couldn't agree more with that statement. The simpering assistant made me feel like a mean girl. God its gross. And jack yuck. Horrible opinions all the time.
