TV: Paradox

Just caught episode 1 of �Paradox� a new series on BBC1 starring Tamzin Outhwaite as cop Rebecca Flint. It�s only a short series � five episodes I think, but it looks promising (providing the plots don�t get too unbelievable).

The premise is that images are being downloaded from space to some sort of research laboratory in the UK. When they�re examined, they seem to indicate a disaster/crime that is yet to happen. Or do they? The episode then slowly pieces together the images and a race-against-time plot emerges.

Episode 1 was very watchable � good acting, UK locations and impressive special effects (but luckily, not too many!). Lucy Mangan, from the Guardian thinks otherwise (see the link to her review below)
