The acting is spot on BUT...

Great performances. But I definitely agree that if you're going to compare Joshua/Lizzy to Michael/Glenn you're going to be disappointed. The new leads don't have an ounce of the sexual chemistry that the original actors did BUT...And this is a big but...it doesn't actually matter. The point of this is that Alex becomes obsessed with Dan spurning her. The lack of real chemistry actually makes it more believable because it's easy to see that it's all in her head...Alex loves the idea of Dan, not who he is because she doesn't know him.

She was weak but he doesn't make her promises and she knows he is married from the start. But she doesn't care.

The chemistry between Dan & Beth on the other hand is spot on. He clearly loves his wife & they have a beautiful relationship. But he is weak and makes the biggest mistake of his life.

There aren't any particular surprises so far. Episode 3 showing what happened so far from Alex's point of view didn't hold any twists. Think we all worked out what happened with the sprinklers in the restaurant etc I am looking forward to episode 4. Though it is freaking me out to see how much Joshua Jackson is a full grown man and not Pacey anymore!!
