Psych on BBC2

Postby Tomo » Feb 7th, '09, 12:21



From the Radio Times web site:

Psych

Saturday 07 February
3:15pm - 4:30pm
BBC2 North West
Pilot
    Feature-length pilot of a comic detective drama series in which a frustrated novice sleuth convinces the police to let him help on baffling cases by pretending he is psychic. When Shawn Spencer spots a vital clue in a crime case, he becomes the prime suspect, so he attempts to clear his name by claiming he has paranormal powers.

I've seen the pilot before. It's okay, but not exactly "Monk". The Radio Times gave it 2 stars, but your mileage may vary.

I really like this show. After a few episodes I found myself 'getting it' and now think it's really funny. Might not be everyone's cup of tea (what is?) but I like the fact that it doesn't take anything seriously - the 'psych' element is just an excuse to hang another wise crack onto. Good natured fluff with plenty of comic moments.

I'm listening to it as I work, and it sounds good. But the lead character is REALLY smug.

The next mention is the double episode next Saturday at 3pm onwards. I rather enjoyed the programme, full of stereotype characters but that's not a bad thing, have the VCR set to record next week's offerings......

Watching the second of the double bill as I type. It's definitely growing on me. Either that, or I'm high on flux fumes!
