---

Meant to watch this, but completely missed it. Let's see if the article convinces me to go get it.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   There's a few sentences that could be re-worked but the prose is clear. I'd like it to be better, though, as we're looking for more than 'legible'. For example, from the episode one summary: "As the group argue during the evening, they find a man wearing a Tony Blair mask (Pozzi), nicknamed "Tiny Blair" due to his height, breaking into the villa and shoots Alvo in head for stealing the boat." The last clause mixes tenses, should be "and shooting". Not a huge hold-up, but a copy-edit would be nice.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   MOS seems fine to me, no problems with it.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   References are used appropriately, that's fine.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Citations seem reliable and accurate.

   C. No original research:

   No original research, everything is supported.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Covers what it needs to: reception, overarching summary and episode list are all appropriate.

   B. Focused:

   Doesn't drift off too much, stays on the series as a whole without focussing on episodes specifically or anything else.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Article is neutral and bias-free.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   History is stable, changes are all good-faith and constructive.

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   Images check out, two creative commons and one fair use.

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Images are used well, not too many or too few; and all are suitably captioned.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Overall, I'm going to pass this as a Good Article. I see no reason why a few awkward phrasings should stop it, so I'll pass it now rather than put it on hold.
