Reviews

Alfonso Rodriguez I began to watch this mini-series when offered on Netflix, and I saw it was rated 5 stars. Although you don't know how many people have voted there, it surely is a good start. Then, there I went, having read the mini description Netflix offers, and seeing all too soon that it was like that, in the first 5 minutes everything happens and although it doesn't seem logical, or well acted, it's there. Then, from this premise the mini series continues, trying to surf the waters of being a drama crime series, not arriving until the very end of the fourth chapter, to explain and develop the various anomalies that you can see. It is not well acted at all, and If you look carefully at the end, it seems like an 80's soap opera acted by amateurs. Did not have anything else worst to see, if not surely I would. Luckily we can skip forward some passages.

Brigid O Sullivan (wisewebwoman) Here be the list:Far too many characters Uneven Script Melodramatic in the extreme Ham-fisted John Lynch clawing the scenery and gulping it down. Totally unlikeable characters. All of them.There were more plot twists and turns and sidebars to keep track of than was reasonable in a 4 parter.Everyone in the cast, including the investigating police had a problem/secrets/liesAnd I never bought into the angst ridden resolution, puh-leese. Too bad. Most of the cast did their best with some dismal material.But the whole thing needed more flesh on its bones.It was really hard to care.4/10 Brilliant Scottish scenery.

dale-51649 The story is about a pair of newlyweds who get murdered, and their grief stricken families confusingly end up with what they think is the killer in their midst. The acting is fair and the cinematography is fairly good, however, the writing is sadly off the mark. As a baby boomer I can claim a phd in street pharmacology , and there is a cringe inducing scene in this piece that it can't recover from.. A character is a low level drug dealer, and a quantity of 25 acid hits ends up floating around. When a young teen steals a hit and drops it, she thinks she hallucinates that she can safely jump from a 15th floor or so balcony. Really? They are going to reprieve the old "thought they could fly" acid tripping thing? That went around the first time in the 60s, we didn't buy it then , and I don't think many buy it now. Oh I am not saying it NEVER happened, I'm just saying a few million boomers will tell you they saw a lot, and never saw anything like that happen, EVER. No flashbacks either, yea those are fake too. Were the writers too young to know any of this? Coudln't they ask?In real life there was a surgeon who was convicted of killing his family after claiming a band of hippies did it, and they think he also was the one who wrote "kill the pigs, acid is groovy" on the mirror. The DA knew nobody who dropped acid would ever say that, maybe he thought they could fly too.

morrison-dylan-fan After being intrigued by the BBC trailers that made the mini-series look like an Agatha Christie-inspired Noir family Drama,I decided to start uncovering the episodes,one by one.The plot:A man drives to the Scottish highlands and crashes his car.Seeing the car crashed,two families who have known each other for decades,come out on the stormy night to help him out.Never having seen the guy before,the families are taken aback,when one of their addresses is found in his coat pocket.Feeling that he might be dangerous, (and with the police unable to answer calls due to the storm) the families decide to lock him in the barn yard for the night.Coming out the next morning to get info out of the night,the families discover that during the night,one of them killed him.View on the show:Taking place against a beautiful Scottish backdrop,the Williams steam a dour Noir family drama with a brittle Agatha Christie-style Murder Mystery in eps 1 and 4,with stylishly tinted flashbacks from director William McGregor bringing the fractured nature of the relationships out of the loyal families.Whilst the cast (which includes a great John Lynch) give gravitas to the murky revelations,the Williams clip the Noir mystery tension in eps 2 and 3 by focusing on the troubled relationships between the families running dry with forced family unease that tries to cast harsh Film Noir isolation on the families,but fails to match the burning Noir anxiety cut deep into the first and final episodes.
