It's more serious than Doctor Who, I grant you, but I don't have a problem with that. I actually like that it's not trying to be Doctor Who redux, you know? It's a darker take on the world the Doctor has moved through willy-nilly, actually watching the consequences of aliens impacting on humans, and I like that. But, then again, I rather liked The X-Files for all that it was about the normal people not knowing about aliens. Also, loved Men in Black, and if this is basically that with Captain Jack at the lead? You won't hear any complaints from me.
The female lead's teeth don't bother me so much any more. They did for the first episode, then when I realized she wasn't going anywhere, I just stopped noticing. Plus, I mean, the second episode was all about Jack and his (undisclosed) sexual preferences, so I stopped paying attention to a lot of stuff...
