For me Season 1 was perfection, Season 2 was close to perfection but a little rushed towards the end, and then I wished that they have developed a Season 3 (with a red/blue schema)

Don't you wish you found out what happened with W.W?

The characters were terrific, especially J.H.

The storyline was the very best. There was so much world left to explore and and I wish we'd seen a Utopia derivative/side story from David Fincher's version of it. I think it would have been a perfect fit for the director of Fight Club and still a tall ask for him to live up to.

Like the author of that imdb review I felt it was very real for some reason despite the decor.

There's enough unexplored for a season 3 story-wise.

I heard they will make a US version. If it's like Shameless US, I'm all for it, but usually US remakes tend to make a bad copy that also stretches out for no reason. I really like the British and Australian format of a few dense episodes rather than 12 or 22 US episodes where it's 60% filler material. However, if it isn't story driven, then making 22 episodes is ok.

After the bad US copy of Rake tanked, the Australian original got a 3rd season, and it's likely to get a 4th one, so sometimes studio heads make sound decisions.

Agreed. I bought both seasons on DVD and the original soundtrack for both seasons, then sent all my friends a copy of the DVD/Bluray for Christmas. I wish there was a better way to support projects you like though. In particular microtransactions on the Net are total fucking shit, it needs to be built-in to OS or Browser as a universal standard and simple.

I'm afraid not. That was David Fincher/HBO and it's not going ahead.

I'm glad they won't, because the risk of ruining it is too high as proven time and again.
