David Shore, along with Hugh Laurie's acting talents, has created an incredibly complex and interesting character. His different relationships with the other well-drawn characters are what makes this show work. He is mesmerising.. this show is so intelligent, witty, non-PC and completely addictive.

Life On Mars - Series 1

Refreshingly original. Has all the mystery and intrigue of Lost, but less complicated. Nostalgic for those of us who were around in the 70s. Brilliant characters. Balances humour and emotional drama well.

Lost - Season 3

Lost started regaining its appeal with great new characters such as Ben and Desmond. The mystery is ridiculously complicated and it gets frustrating sometimes that no answers are ever revealed, but it's still compulsive viewing.
