I really need to watch it again, there's a few things I missed, and a few others I need to see again now that I know what to look for, so thanks for the hulutip.

Yes, the science is only C+, but so far ahead of most TV SciFi that it gets an A for effort as far as I'm concerned. And the whole idea of a drama based on the filming of a reality show is so twisted I couldn't help but fall in love with it.

There's a lot of levels of surreality here, and a lot of ways this could go, with some neat satirical digs at global warming (is it for real?), psychology, media, government, advertising, the quarreling gay guys in the kitchen, the nature of command and of reality...and of course, intelligent characters with good dialogue and a story with legs.

Highly recommended.
