Well ... it's not complete crap. It's got potential. And Captain Jack is teh hawt. And some of the one-liners are v. good. But for a darker, more adult sci-fi show, it seems to equate "adult" with "lots of nookie and double entendres" rather than mature themes like dealing with the consequences of your actions. Also, you can see the flesh coloured knickers during one of the sex scenes, which made me snigger for all the wrong reasons.
I also think that Gwen is basically a Rose-who-actually-does-love-Mickey-substitute and apart from Jack, the only other character I was drawn to is Iando (who I suspect will be the firm fan favourite because he's geeky cute and seems to have a dry sense of humour). You'll see the 'twist' in Episode 1 within the first 5 minutes and Episode 2 had a cop out ending (in my ever so humble opinion).
You're better off working on Knife and ignoring the favourable reviews. Go - edit. Edit now!
