The Crow Girl

I truly do not want to give anything away here. Others have criticised The Crow Girl for having too many plot lines that don't all get wrapped up... but that is what season 2 is for? Weird thing to pick apart really, since this is not a standalone movie.

The first 2-3 episodes are a quite slow and challenging to watch, but it's all worth it for the plot twist towards the end. Usually I see things coming from a mile away but not this one. It's extraordinarily well done whilst at the same time you'll be kicking yourself for not figuring it out in the first place.

In other news: Eve Myles is bloody brilliant in this. Great actor.

The Crow Girl evidence great storytelling with a powerful cast. The lead actress Eve Myles ( my favorite Welsh actress. I will watch anything she appears in). The Crow Girl had me enthralled from the very beginning of episode one. It's methodical and sneaks upon you. It's a thinking person series. Now watching episode two. This series has a range of interesting storylines, murder, incest, and trauma i. E., mental illness. I'm excited to see the conclusion and the outcome of these three story lines and their interconnections.

Watching and enjoying. No disappointment here.

Thanks so much Slash for bringing this to the screen. Great cast, great swirling plot, superb blend of contemporary issues and man's inhumanity to man!

Love it when you suss some of the plot lines and get blindsided by others. Wife and I were so absorbed by the plot that we watched the lot over 2 nights. In fact it so drew us in that we almost didn't notice the soundtrack. Must have blended in so well. Will go back and listen out for it.

I'm sure some will criticise elements of the show but we loved the clever devices used.

There were elements of Silent Witness and Vera which is meant as praise indeed. If the next series builds on this wonderful beginning we will be in Paradise City!

What do you get if you take Eve Myles's Faith from Keeping Faith and Dougray Scott's DI Ray Lennox from Crime and send them to Bristol? You get The Crow Girl!

Maybe I am too cynical these days and Police shows have to have the smart talking main character detective who plays fast and loose, they put their work above all else including their family, then there needs to be the incompetent police sidekicks who have to be told to do everything, and the stern boss who berates the main character but relents when they see that the unconventional methods are working, so if you're into that then take a peek at this.

To be fair the wife liked it, I found it frustrating in the first episode but then it did get quite creepy in terms of the subject matter.

Ultimately it's OK in the grand scheme, you could do worse, like watching a Harlan Coban adaptation.

I don't really understand why people have to say it was predictable. Yes, of course some things are predictable; so much has been made over time. Try coming up with something new. I liked the lead actress, but I found her husband an annoying freeloader. Her team was okay, and I found the story very oppressive. But from my perspective, it was pretty good. I watched it in one sitting. And I was sad that it was over, I would have liked to see another season, with a new case.

(Can someone explain to me why I have to write a bunch of sentences when someone else can do it in 10? I'm sure you can't email me, but try it. Pip2020 Via DuckDuckGo email address.
