Después de la fiesta

I see absolutely why some people find it slow moving, but really stick with it as the story/tension builds brilliantly to its quietly devasting climax. I binged watched as I just had to discover where the story would lead and, for me, that worked really well. I totally invested in Pennie's character and her dilemma. If it had been a 'film' that performance is Oscar-worthy. The direction is beautifully understated and the whole cast seems brilliantly chosen for the authenticity. If you feel uncomfortable watching this I suspect the writers, director and actors have achieved exactly what they intended.

An amazing series. Possibly the best I have watched in years.

Brilliantly acted and is and absolutely gripping throughout. The lead actress is outstanding (she seemed like a New Zealand version of Frances McDormand)

The series deals with the complex issue of sexual abuse in a sensitive manner, and provides insight into the devastating impact upon victims and all those affected. It is illustrates that reporting sexual abuse is never straightforward.

I can't believe some viewers found the series to be slow and boring (and I can't imagine what more they possibly could want out of a series like this).

Not a subject matter I feel at all comfortable with watching and I tend to shy away from productions that include excessive swearing but I found myself being drawn into Penny's world spiralling out of control. Is she being gaslighted or not?

The performances of the main actors Malcolm, Mullan & Canton are top notch. The way they move you through feelings of sympathy, suspicion, anguish & frustration. The supporting cast didn't let you down either.

The scenes of nudity were probably unneeded but perhaps it was a way of showing Penny's vulnerability.

I didn't feel the episodes went slowly at all. Would definitely recommend.

Ah I don't know how I missed this Show, this answered many questions, declared confusions, pointed and focused on very complex human behaviors, and the perspective of two sides of the story the community and the family meaning.

More of this please. The kiwi actress was so amazing and well known the struggle of the character within the story, the acceptance, the survival mood, and her personal life and truth how was hard to keep both and fight for the right thing.

NZ has to have more of this essential and successful storyline for drama television.

I loved this so much!! Well done well done production!

I watched this over the course of two days and it held my interest. The cast was great, the story compelling and the location shooting was a nice change of pace for me as a Brit.

The story is a bit one note... in a sense that it's largely six episodes of one person saying someone did something, then another person saying they didn't. That's mixed with various other family stories, the aftermath of said party and other tribulations.

So it's no surprise that nothing really changes until the end when they begin to wrap stuff up for a conclusion.

Special mention goes to Robin Malcolm who was amazing and makes me want to see more of her work. She just very felt real. I also identified somewhat with some of her struggles when you feel alone and no one will listen.

Worth a watch, for sure. But could have probably done it in half the time with no real loss to the story. I'm not sure it warrants it, but I wouldn't object to a second season to see what happens next.
