    Taken

    What did everyone think of Spielburgs 'Taken'? It was a mini-series shown on BBC a while ago that is about alien abducties going from the 1950s to the present day. I only ever managed to watch a few episodes of it because of work but i liked what i saw, too bad it never gets any re-runs. If you dont know what 'Taken' was, then read about it on this website, http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/taken/

    Doctor: " *Brainfart* ".

    I enjoyed it. It aired on the scifi channel a while back and I missed it so I felt compelled to rent it and given my general laziness about such things, that's saying a lot. It's a really good series.

      in general....i thought it was pretty good.

      i think it was a bout 1 ep too long though. i think there was a lot that could have been removed without losing much....mainly the history of the main guy.

      was a fun watch though.
      Thanks!

        I enjoyed 'Taken.' I also thought it was a bit overlong, but still very entertaining. There were some episodes that dragged on a bit. I especially enjoyed the episodes which took place in the 50's and 60's. There were also a few parts that genuinely creeped me out.

        I'm not much of a Dakota Fanning fan though. She was good, but grated on my nerves in a few places.

        Still, it was one of the better mini-series I've seen.

            I'll take anything else she does over the horror of her screeching "Is it dead; Is it dead?"

                Taken started out ok but became boring quickly IMO.

                Seriously, was there even one alien abduction cliché that they didn´t use? Total lack of creativity was the series main problem.
