TV-Show Seasons i Have Watched in 2011 (28 tv items)

"Season 1 (12.02.2011 - 13.02.2011) "I'm arresting you for the theft of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest... and driving like a div." I had heard a lot of great things about this show, so when i saw a cheap copy of season 1 at the store i work at i decided to buy it. It was a really cool show. The concept is awesome. A man in a coma that has also gone back in time. I have alredy ordered season 2 and the american remake too. Best episode: Episode #1.5 Overall score for the season: 8/10"
