Ultraviolet

We just finished watching Ultraviolet. As I rememberd it is absolutely brilliant. 'Tis a crying shame that they only made six episodes :-(

Oh I KNOW - I hate that they didn't make more or that the blatant love of it will not revive it (it worked for Roswell, damnit!). I loved Ultraviolet so much.

Small but perfectly formed.

They would have probably ruined it if they tried to make another series.

Excellent DVD got a copy in the last HMV sale.

The plot and mood were inb keeping with the entire genre.

The problem is that this series was based largely in scientific fact. The researchers asked people in the police and intelligence communities waht could be a response to this knid of thing. This together with some of the best script writing channel 4 has ever made produced a very dark and absorbing tale. They never romanced or popified the story (compared to Buffy, Interview with a Vampire etc), so the public never caught on.
