I honestly enjoyed the pilot a lot, but I think all of the performances except Rose need some tweaking. More irony poisoning from Dave, Jade chilled-out rather than manic, and John a bit less beaten down and world-weary. OK, maybe Rose could do with a touch less gravel too - some of her lines sounded like a louche 60-year-old ogling the waiters on a cruise liner.
