Okay, it’s for the second season so a bit old now and Battlestar Galactica got there first, but it’s still pretty nifty (click on it to make it bigger). The first season is being repeated on the UK’s SyFy channel from next Tuesday, so give it a try if you haven’t seen it already – Norse gods reincarnated in New Zealand so what’s not to like? – but you’ll need to wait about four or five episodes before it gets really good. No word on a third season yet, I’m afraid.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
