Okay definitely more range from Chris in episode 2 (please ref back to last post on this). In fact some absolutely beautiful and highly emotive close-ups - stunning emotional expression. BUT, but,I find the dialogue cringe-inducing. What a massive shame. I think alcoholics and their therapists will have gasped in horror at the therapy session! It has an exciting plot now - not sure what is going on any longer - and some very good performances, but sadly the writer has let them down IMO. Maybe all will be much improved for the final episode next week.

‘Blackout’ - BBC1 - Monday 2nd July 2012
(Rated 3ish/5)
I wish Chris Eccleston would be in something properly 'good' again that shows his full talent... something like... Dr Who!! Blackout I found disappointing and predictable, formulaic in plot, dialogue and, sadly, I felt bored. Chris was good as he is at the intense looks... but I so want to see more range!
However, it's only the first episode and may well develop into something great...
More on this here as it develops...
