Watched it for the first time and thought.......

it was just alright... mates told me it would get more interesting in the later episodes. Is that true? Is it worth buying the DVD? BBC is showing it too late....

As a bunch of lawyers, they don't look convincing/ professional. How could Anna accused Mill's gf as a thief whithout having any proofs? Is she a lawyer? If she is, that should not be coming out from her mouth, right?

I did enjoy when Warren scremed:

'If you think Anna is harsh, you have not seen me in action yet'

Nice line, I enjoy that :)

So, should I continue watching it? I sort of yawning watching it for the past 2 nights....

when it came out didnt catch on, seemed run of the mill, but each of the characters go through a lot of "growing up" and it builds up alot and is well worth sticking with

Been watching the repeats on BBC 2 and is still average to good. It was excellent at the time though I put this down to the fact that is was quite different when it came out and has since gone on to "inspire" countless other series, which in turn dilutes the original. Plus, I'm not wearing any pants.

I guess you are right..... and that's the reason I prefer 'Sex and the city' than 'This life'. I know they are totally different, but well, for me, I just prefer 'Sex and the city'.

Let's wait for another ten years, may be by then, 'Sex and the city' would be average too.

Still yawning watching it last night. You might ask me not to watch it, seeing me reacting like this. But well, I just do not want to miss the chance of watching it since my mates said it was good.

I love dramas, so, I would just give it a go and contine watching it. Who knows, I might change my views in the later stage ;)
