Do you think its ok for kids? There's no sex (yet) and no CSI style gore either.

It's a fun watch. My 12 year old is really intrigued by it as well. Love it!

Me, too! Once at a job interview I was asked if I could pick a superpower, what it would be. I answered time travel. So intriguing, but I can't imagine it will happen in our lifetimes in any meaningful way.

Yes, perfectly fine for most kids at this point.

Agreed. I like this show a lot. I even commented to DH that there's finally a show that I am not embarrassed watching with my kids around. Unlike that wonderful, filthy show Shameless. I have to watch that one in my bedroom with the door locked and headphones on! But such a great show!

Last episode the main character was talking about how Catholicism was outlawed in that part of Germany during the middle ages so they escape by the priest hole. I don't think Catholicism was ever outlawed in Germany until the Nazis in any case. Priest holes were common in British castles not German ones.

I don't think this show is going to last one season.

Germany was riven by the Catholic-Protestant religious wars of the 1500s as well, and you can just Google to find pictures of so-called priest holes in Germany.

I'm sure they exist in Germany; just that they were much more common in England b/c Catholicism was actually outlawed there at one time and it wasn't in Germany. Conflicts existed, but not actually outlawed.

find one b/c they all show up in the UK...

My bad. I retract my former statement about Google.

It has the curse of that actor in it, Matt Lanter, he was in my DD's favorite movie, about figure skating.... All of his shows die before the first season is over... He is also the voice of Anakin Skywalker in Clone Wars, that was his longest gig.

This is what I hate about bad writing. Obviously one of the show's writer had watched Skyfall and remembered the priest hole. Except the castle in Skyfall was in Scotland not in Germany...Sloppy writers deserve a wrap on the knuckles.

He was in the 90210 reboot. That lasted for five seasons.

Seriously? You are expecting historical accuracy??

Besides, The whole reason of mentioning the priest hole in this episode was (in addition to being able to escape the nazis) was a long way to get in yet another James Bond joke.

Yeah no one is basing their historical thesis for PhD on the show, lighten up!

He's kind of a B actor. Not terrible, but kinda stiff and cardboard cut-out man.

Even more lame. Ian Fleming was dead way b/f Skyfall came out.

Also, a quick google search would yield that there are actual castles in Germany with secret passage ways, e.g.,:
http://www.atravelbroad.com/the-mad-king-ludwig-and-his-castle/

So yes, if they can fact check things easily, then they should. They could use a real castle, real secret passages, and yeah, drawn closer from missions that Ian Fleming actually participated in. The whole priest hole/Ian Fleming connection was lame and just showed a lack of imagination.

Fleming did write Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, so maybe that's how they should have escaped the Nazis.



(Also, Fleming was butt ugly and it was well known that he had a ton of STDs IRL. The fact that they're trying to make his personality a suave Bond-type hitting on Lucy and she likes it is laughable.)

no one would watch an ugly STD guy flirting with Lucy. You know that, right? You sound so joyless and should probably not watch tv.
