helenkerr-18360 This series hit me in so many ways - it had intrigue, Machievellian plots and soul. I really don't think it was promoted enough so that it reached enough people. Perhaps show series one again and see how it goes down. Promote it effectively and see how it goes. The characters were utterly believable despite the whole 'are angels real, or not?' question. It also took in a beautiful location that will appeal to not only the Brits but any foreign visitors to the UK who have visited York. I particularly liked the segue between every day people that the 'lawyers' served and the angelic realm. The end notes of each program where you saw the angels on top of York minster in their true angelic forms, when they hashed over the last case always showed the angst experienced by the angels while dealing with the case. Please just try again with this and promote it professionally.

brian-monahan I liked the premise of this short series - but many of the episodes story lines simply "ran out of runway". They needed more time or perhaps more of an arc should have been developed so that episodes always left you wanting to see the next one (as in LoM/A2A). This is, of course, difficult to establish ...We need more high-concept, intelligent moral dramas like Eternal Law - but they really are hard to justify for a highly commercial, prime time slot like ITV1 which has to constantly bring home the bacon on a number of fronts.My guess is that a more sympathetic and sustainable audience could still be gained on rerun without the pressure of generating huge audiences - this is not LoM/A2A after all - it could easily establish a solid following if more sensitively positioned. (By the way, we all watched it here unfailingly - even my youngest teenage daughter!)I will certainly be buying the DVD ... there were some good if occasionally uneven performances and the ideas behind the writing were actually top class (with a number of stunning LOL throwaway lines) - just perhaps a bit rushed and a little too "implicit" in places.

Christine Carl I liked that it seems not too clever or complicated. I really like courtroom dramas and it's interesting to have angelic beings acting as lawyers. Reminded me a bit of that lovely old film with David Niven,- A matter of life and death. In Eternal Law the acting is wonderful, if it wasn't they would never have been able to pull this off at all. Because, I sit there all tense, even when the wings are out, until it's all over and I know that clock isn't ticking anymore. The cast are brilliant - isn't Sam West the best actor we have, what a voice:) I love the dry wit that his character has. I love that he is tortured with lustful feelings for Hannah. While I am 'rooting' (sorry) for him to give her one - partly I must admit to see if his ejac would really knock her head off.- I do understand that the struggle he has with these feelings are really what it's all about. The fall. If that old angel hadn't fallen for one of us. We would all still be dancing around with fig leaves on having fun in the garden of Eden. Mr Mountjoy is just so bureaucratic, but isn't that just so true of everything in our world. Our whole existence balances on the tip of his ball point pen. I really loved the latest episode. It was so touching. I love that Zac and Tom are caught in the middle as innocent tools of Mr Mountjoy. I like it that Mr Mountjoy has no compassion and would switch us off at the drop of a hat just because the paperwork was building up and anyway we irritate him. He made a mistake when he made us and he knows it. After all he made us in his own image. The imagery of the Great war hit home to me. After all wasn't that just a bureaucratic exercise devoid of any compassion towards flesh. I hope there will be further series in the future. I love the light and dark. The defence and love towards those who seem wrong and guilty and bad. If it isn't continued I hope the ending is that we all go out in a blaze of glory as Zak has his wicked way with Hannah, blows her head off and shoots his cream so hard and high that it blows a hole in the ceiling, arcs a rainbow, rips the sky into two and hits old Mr Mountjoy right in the eye.

eve_dolluk Its maybe too early to judge but so far so ......The premise for the show is that Angels come down from... wherever and become Lawyers. Mr Gist is the experience Angel/Lawyer who is blooding in young inexperienced Mr Greening as it is his first time on earth. That basically sets the dynamics of the show, there are Angel rules that are mentioned and these are quickly broken. There are Fallen Angels who play the bad guys also in this case Mr Pembroke. We then have Mrs Sheringham who appears to be the Angels boss on Earth and Mr M who appears to be the main man upstairs. All very basic stuff so far. Upon landing on earth they soon find themselves in the middle of a shooting and therefore ( for reasons unknown ) become directly involved as Lawyers for the case. There is also a mystery woman called Hannah English who for again reasons unknown gets involved in the shooting and there is some sort of past between her and Mr Gist. I don't want to give much more away than that and it all happens within the first 10 mins so I'm not giving to much away. Overall I found the show to be whimsical at best, the mystery surrounding the case is obvious within 10 minutes and the rest of the show is more about setting the foundations for the series. The problem for me is what is it supposed to be. There was little mystery or suspense that you normally find with a courtroom drama. There was little drama or humour ( did it even try ). The acting was average from the main characters and awful from some of the minor characters. The setting for the show seems to be a small town somewhere in the south of England out in the sticks. Everything in the show was unoriginal and nothing new and seemed like a mish mash of everything we have seen before relating to the subject of Angels. I understand its early days but as an opener it may have just lost half its potential audience, there was really not enough in this first episode to keep you interested. It may develop into a good series but I've already lost interest, I'll give the second episode a go to see if it improves but I can't see it. The entire dynamics would have to change a great deal to make this even remotely interesting. I am glad I Sky plussed it and watched Public Enemies instead on BBC1 which is a much better show.
