Just saw the first part of the BBC's new sci-fi show Outcasts.

I know first episodes are often problematic but it was dull, really dull, imagine five largely uneventful minutes of the Galactica crew on the Algae Planet stretched over an hour with less laughs.

It was really badly directed too.

For example, dialogue where one person interrupts another is so massively telegraphed the actors might as well speak the ellipsis'.

The cast should work, there are some good actors in there, hopefully it will pick up a bit so I give at least another episode but there are only six parts so the production should have gone for a stronger beginning.
