Five Days to Midnight

Anyone watching this? I just found out about it in the TV guide. It's a new miniseries on the SciFi channel.

I wonder how it is...

Saw an ad for it online, but I doubt we get it up here.

Bloody backwards country if I ever knew one when it comes to television.

There's an ad on scifi.com, bt I have no idea what the story line is actually supposed to be. Any clues?

Here's a blurb from the site:

THE STORY

5ive Days to Midnight revolves around college professor J.T. Neumeyer, who stumbles upon a mysterious briefcase containing a police file filled with details of a gruesome murder — his own. The file, complete with photos of his bullet-strewn corpse and a list of suspects, indicates that the shooting will take place in five days.

J.T. is skeptical at first, but when events begin to mirror those in the report, he realizes that the file is genuine — and that his time is quickly running out. He has only days to solve the mystery of his own murder and, hopefully, change the course of the future.

It sounds interesting but I doubt I'll be able to catch it.

Wow that sounds quite intriguing. I like shows set over short timespans such as that, as they are generally incredibly intense. 24 is a prime example of that! If it is done nicely (i.e. has a well written plot and is nicely directed) that show could turn out to be something quite special. Hopefully BBC2 or one of Britains terrestrial channels will pick it up as I cancelled my Sky subscription shortly after becoming a student.

So is this supposed to be a time travel show, but they can only send back small items?

Was he the one to send it back or a practical joke?

Sounds a bit too contrived.

Ssh...! It sounds like it's supposed to be a sci-fi version of 24...
