| BSG Review: |
Nightingales was an interesting show, and perhaps hard to describe fairly. As noted elsewhere, it added a certain surreal, fantasy element to the genre, an experiment which worked in part, but was largely neither here-nor-there.

A pilot episode for the US market, starring Trevor Eve, was filmed, but never picked up.
