maybe not today, maybe not tommorow

Yes, ok, this show is all that and a packet of crisps. It's fast, it's clever, it looks good, the dialogue flows, I watched two episodes without noticing time passing and it's not offensive on any of the nineteen thousand ways television usually managed to offend in within four and a half minutes...but I have to admit nothing has really hooked me either. Who are these people, and what is there to them that I should care about? Bizarrely, I'm currently most curious about how Paul is doing.
