Spides

Truly this was idiotic in every way. Awful script, awful acting, awful plot.

I think it is always a matter of taste. Spides is different. I like the story. I like the style. I like the settings. The story isn't crazy new, but its a well made serie. Rosabell Laurenti makes a great job, which keeps me to watch on. For me it works out. Love it or leave it.

Considering SYFY's usual media content the first episode of this series isn't as bad as the previous reviewers are commenting. The first episode is promising.. I will most definitely watch again.

Sci-fi, aliens, corruption, crime, detective work, European feel, great mix of things. Great characters, surprises, keeps you wondering exactly who or what is behind it all and what their motives are. Really like the two main characters that are the detectives, really work well together ("usual" mix of quite different people). The aliens are something different keeping sort of in the background and you do winder who is who and what's going to happen. Love the German setting, makes it better than if set in the good old USA that you might expect of such a thing. All in all a great take on aliens taking over people (or are they?). So pleased I came across this.

I've watched the first episode and in fairness there was a pleasantly surreal storyline, a few unpleasant surprises and a few good twists and turns, all good romping fun.

The acting was a fairly level playing field, no-one stood out but no-one was less than professional.

I enjoyed the visuals, actors and story enough to keep me engaged all the way through the episode.

I only watched this programme due to the extreme opposites in terms of reviews and what I feel is an unwarranted rating of 5. thoroughly enjoyed first ep. and cant wait for episode 2 :D
