Too Close

If you've never wondered why the streets aren't overrun with broken people, then this might not be for you. For the rest of us, though, this is an excellent perceptive, unsettling, thought-provoking psychological drama. Blinding performances from the two leads, with solid support from the rest of the cast.

Hard hitting drama showing how easy it could be to be pushed to breaking point with the right set of circumstances. Also how we can pre judge without knowing the full picture. It's a slow burn but outstanding from start to finish.

Doctor Emma Robinson is called in to assess patient Connie Mortensen, who claims to be suffering from amnesia following a horrific crime.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, I like the format of it being on over three consecutive nights, with so much on it makes it a lot easier to follow. Presumably made during Covid, so there is a somewhat smaller cast, but it had a very intimate feel.

Too Close, does that imply how close Doctor gets to their patient, or something else?

Two very strong lead actresses, I am a huge fan of Emily Watson, she never disappoints, you know it'll be good when you see her starring. Denise Gough also, terrific, her transformation is incredible, it takes some real talent to do that.

I really enjoyed it, 8/10.

This is a real problem, Psychiatric drugs are not only dangerous to take, they are also dangerous to withdraw from. A nice mini-series, superb acting. Emily Watson is such a talented actress.

This is intense. In my opinion, those who don't like it are just looking for big explosions and gun fights.

This shows the complexities of trauma and mental illness in various forms. I'm not a specialist but even I can see grief in its many forms. Very well done so far and I'm only on the second episode.
