Defying Gravity

Watching this sci-fi pilot "Defying Gravity" on BBC 2. First thing thats hitting me is the way it looks. It just looks naff. Maybe im being too hard on it but the way it looks is really putting me off. Yes, the style they are going for is futuristic and space-age but that doesn't mean they have to bathe everything in bright, sterile white. Its just not interesting to look at. It's also supposed to look realistic but all the white lights and flashing blue gizmos make it look like an episode of Stargate. This is, for me, taking away any feeling of realism. Television is a visual media and it doesnt matter if you have the greatest story ever the audiences first reaction is going to come
from the way it looks.

lets watch the chelsea game instead
