This episode continues to demonstrate the biggest flaw in this series.It's taken a series of teen drama novels and a previous adaptation, made the characters adults and yet written them exactly the same.Result:They look and sound ridiculous.But they have more sex, because it's darker and edgier, y'know?
It's hard to tell whether the show's being deliberately ambiguous or they just don't know where they're going.They're not sure if the military are evil or if they're indulging in flag waving.It's not clear if we're meant to sympathise with the aliens or see them as weapons of mass destruction.It's increasingly feeling like Kyle is our viewpoint character and Liz needs to get a life.
And the big reveal is...Max left Rosa alone the night she died?That was the big secret that Liz must never know and which had Michael and Isobel panicking about Max spending time with her?Unless there's more to come, that's the definition of anti-climax.
