I quite enjoyed this, although my broadcaster didn't seem to be consistent in showing it!

I like the modern setting, and there were some solid episodes. Was it the greatest show ever? No. Is it a cult series? Not sure. Would it make a Top 10 list of the best sci-fi shows of any era? I doubt it. But there have been shows which get credit - and I don't think they were necessarily as solid as this one.

I'd probably revisit it to see how it holds up.

When I was growing up I would watch anything on television that was even vaguely Science Fiction - appallingly bad series like Beyond Westworld or duff TV movies like The Love War. This take on War of the Worlds was the series that helped me to break out of that 'must watch it' mentality. It was so bad that after two episodes I never tuned in again. I'm sincerely baffled by anyone feeling the need to celebrate the anniversary of this one... the anniversary of its cancellation, maybe, but...

PS I am, however, greatly looking forward to the BBC's take on Wells' novel coming later this year.

So you won't be buying the Blu-ray, then? ;-)

Yes the film happened.

Nope, no one remembers it.

Why?

Y-e-a-h, we’ll figure that out some other time.

But it did happen.

I'm in the camp who liked Season 1 and the characters a lot, but thought the attempt to "save" the show by rebooting it in Season 2 was a miserable failure.

Killing off Ironhorse was the biggest mistake they made.
