BBC America’s The Eleventh Hour
If you haven’t had a chance to catch Patrick Stewart’s new series on BBC America, The Eleventh Hour, you’re missing out. Stewart plays Ian Hood, a physics professor who’s a modern day Sherlock Holmes working for Britain’s Ministry of Science (I think) with a young blonde bodyguard as his Watson, Rachel Young, played by Ashley Jensen.
The show’s first season only had four 90-minute episodes (including commercials) with their third episode having aired this past Monday (9pm EST), but I’m sure BBC America will be re-airing them.
The show itself hits some pretty modern themes such as human cloning, viral plague-like outbreaks, and global warming, not to mention illegal immigration, MIBs, saving the world, and global conspiracy theories. Plus, some age-old viewer-satisfaction proven themes like love, lust, greed, and good old-fashioned murder.
Definitely worth seeking out. And if you don’t get BBC America, well, it’s already on DVD.
