I have been watching it, and I like it.
Lewis has been cool since Band of Brothers, ridiculously pretty girls and handsome men, and a fascinating storyline.
Anyone else been involved with it?
(UK are up to episode 7 so no spoilers please.)

Good to know because I was about to ask you what you thought of the... No, wait, that's not cool.
I will tell you that you have an extremely boring episode coming as either #9 or #10. It's mostly a flashback episode, so just be on the lookout.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I wasn't REALLY into it, but I kept watching so that was a plus. I liked the pilot and the last 2-3 episodes were quite good, overall. Claire Danes, I was kind of having trouble with her. Not because she was bad, but I don't think she fits the character they're trying to do.
The directing was typically better than the writing overall, but the writing wasn't bad. Sometimes uninspired.

Yeah I would agree with that. Very watchable and interesting, but nothing that strikes you or grips you to a great extent.
I agree with you about Danes; she was/is neither tough nor fragile, and I think that is what they were trying to show her as, or at least trying to show her oscillating between the two.
I think they should have kept the woman who played the mistress to the prince for a while longer. I think she has charisma and that part of the tale was intriguing.
Rare to see a man urinating on another on a tv show though, put me right off my wine.

What? You're telling me you don't get that on those oh-so clever sitcoms and the like? That's such a shame.
Carrie (although you haven't seen it yet) will get a chance to play... crazy/obsessed. It's probably the best her character was during season 1.

I don't really know about that, I am not a sitcom kinda girl!
I will watch out for some impressive action from her as we continue.
