The Control Room

When Gabe was taking the rear number plate off the van, there was a car behind it, but when there was a camera shot from behind, it was gone. Then it was back.

He was in the locker room and received a text saying there was a bloke there to see him and wasn't going to leave until he does. Then Gabe drives the van in the next scene with the bag of money.

Promising cast , good cinematography and an interesting hook to start the drama got it off to a good start, but the endless twists and turns just made it a confusing mess of a storyline with plot and continuity holes all over the place. It should have been another top BBC drama but I've ended up generously giving it a 5. Wasted potential.

Glasgow based thriller. An emergency call handler takes a call confessing to a murder, from a girl who then recognises his voice. So begins a frantic journey as the story unfolds, mingled with his backstory.

It started well but it's a bit far-fetched and implausible. It has some good tense moments.

This is better than some whilst not brilliant. Would I recommend? Maybe, but I wouldn't want to watch it again.

Have to agree with the majority of the previous reviews.

Wanted to switch off after first episode and wasn't bothered to find out the ending. Why?, because after Gabe makes the most obvious of "no, you didn't just agree to that" moments, it goes from bad to worse. Every twist and turn in the first 2 episodes have me screaming at the TV "nooooooo".

But as a dutiful husband, having had my wife watch some of the stuff I like, I repaid the debt a million times over to watch this to its conclusion.

There were a few more twists in the final episode that we didn't see coming which kinda redeemed it a bit, but not enough for me to recommend it.

IDC was ok in Marvel agents of Shield but he almost felt the same in this, with his nervous affectations.

So glad it's over and hopefully no sequel..... Sounded good on the radio adverts but in reality a MISS rather that a HIT.

Would give it a 2.5 for the little twists in the last episode.

I was enjoying this for the first episode, but it just all fell apart.

The plot was ridiculous and totally implausible.

The actions of the central character were totally illogical and the scenarios involving the police a complete nonsense.

What I don't understand is how these dramas make it to production.

There are so many inconstancies and plot holes, or do they think the viewers are just too stupid to notice?
