I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Why wasn't she taken to the hospital first? Why was the chick cop so unprofessionally callous? I didn't like this show at all
The final three minutes in every episode are worthy of making the viewer want to watch the next. The previous episodic minutes were slow, boring, devoid of any kind of reasonable or interesting plot, depicted poor characterizations and with a continuous display of terrible acting, direction, poor use of camera and completely devoid of dramatic technique. This is drivel at its finest BUT with a great hook at the end of each episode. The policing is portrayed as inept and borders on pathetic. Just not credible. Soft. Morse would have had this case wrapped up in 90 minutes flat. I also found the incessant whispering and pregnant and extended pauses just served to annoy rather than create a dramatic motif or anything of any real substance or value. However, do they know how to create a hook. Brilliant stuff. I think if the final three minutes from each of the first four episodes could be edited together along with a 10 minute opening act exposition explaining what happened and a 5 minute piece from the beginning and end of episode five as a finale then this could have been 30 minutes of compelling TV drama. As it is, this is a mess, with consistently bad acting, writing, direction, production values. I was wanting it to end and preferably with all the actors losing out in some way. I was attached to none of it and the leads were all terrible. The family unit stunk. But those closing three minutes...that is why it gets a 3 as opposed to a nil.
Really enjoyed this mini series..... Ivy was very convincing as a 26yr old who'd been shut away for 13 years. Acting was great, all the characters were good. The very end scene was so disappointing though. Almost as if the writer just had to end the story in two minutes flat. Everything was plausible except that final scene with the explosion. A fire without the explosion would have been more convincing. More of an effort could have been made there.Being familiar with Bristol made it doubly enjoyable as i saw familiar places on screen.Other than that... it's good. well done.
I want to see the rest . these first 2 disc only left you hanging for more . I called my public library but they do not have any other ones. Please finish making these disc. This movie was wonderful . Kept you on the edge of your seat than wham it was over not telling you if the 10 year old 2 kidnapped girl is saved . I WANT MORE PLEASE ! :( My husband and I love god thrilling movies like this . We want to see if the 10 year old girl is saved by the 26 year old woman that was kidnapped by the same man for 13 years . If the 26 year old named Ivy goes to meet the man again to save the other 10 year old life we to know what happens. It is a mini series but I was told I might have to wait 1-2 years before I get to see the final part of it .That is a long time to wait to see the end of a movie !
