Third-episode verdict: Eureka
By a piece of extraordinary timing, this third-episode verdict arrives just as episode one of Eureka arrives in the UK. Now re-titled A Town Called Eureka for British audiences, it’s airing at 9pm on Sky One. Is it worth adding your diary?
Probably not.
It’s amiable enough. The characters are amiable. The plots are neither too rubbish nor too interesting. As I mentioned in my review of the pilot, it’s basically just an acceptable hour-long filler.
If you’re a real hardcore sci-fi fan, you’ll probably tune in every episode. Otherwise, give it a miss unless you’ve nothing better to do.
Pussycat Dolls getting a reality show now

Interesting things afoot at AMC
US cable channel AMC, which co-produces Hustle with the Beeb, has some interesting projects in the works, according to Variety:
- a hybrid family-horror drama set in suburbia from exec producer Richard Kelley (Donnie Darko)
- an American adaptation of My Life in Film
- graphic novelist Warren Ellis’ half-hour Dead Channel, a sci-fi story about a fictional entertainment industry
There’s more on Warren Ellis’s own site about what he’s up to, and it sounds interesting. Looks like AMC is trying to carve out an adult cutting-edge niche for itself.
