Dead and Buried

I have said it before and I will say it again: what is wrong with those reviewers who like to find fault in everything and then give scathing and unjustifiable reviews??

And for those who genuinely don't get the intricate but yet subtle plot twists throughout- which DID pass the test of believability - perhaps watch at a different time when you gain more life experience and an increase in emotional intelligence...

For those who do 'get it', you will be delighted at very consumate and polished acting performances throughout supplemented by highly creative storytelling that easily passes the test of believability.

And if that weren't enough, copperfastened by superb direction that kept the viewer guessing right until the end; an ending that had multiple and shocking twists that compels the viewer to be on the edge of their seat - terrific stuff.

A drama series that highlights the potentially devastating consequences of stalking that gets completely out of hand, and to which should make us all sit up and take notice.

I highly recommend - a riveting watch!

I was enjoying this and genuinely thought I'd be giving it a seven or an eight by the end, but it just went a bit too awry.

I can honestly say that I'm not too sure who did what, to whom, and when, or why.

I don't expect full closure, but I would like at least one bit to be clear.

And this is after the utter nonsense that no one would recognise they are being messed with, even if they were drunk or off their meds all the time.

I did like the story, the actors did a fab job, It's worth watching. It's just a shame it got a bit too clever with itself.

All the secondary characters were way more interesting. Which thinking about it is maybe the point.

Hmmm. I'm confused!

Started of brilliantly had me completely hooked. But as episodes went on it became increasingly improbable especially the final episode. A pity because it showed great promise. Too many plot twists with no explanation. Lead female character had no likeable traits whatsoever so it was hard to feel any sympathy for her. The male lead was better and definitely easy on the eye but you never really find out why he did what he did. All of the main characters were all linked in one way or another but there back stories, connections and various problems were never explained properly. A 2nd series maybe.

Another one of those series that doesn't know how to finish, and leaves you wishing you never invested time in it in the beginning. The first episode gets you hooked with an intriguing plot, good filming and score and characters.

But it just goes downhill dramatically and the last episode is a 2/10 at best. So many more intelligent ways to have concluded the series, but they went for a silly option. Not really sure how they could have messed up the end so badly give there was obviously some talent involved in the production overall. Some reviews criticise the acting but I don't fault the actors.

Another one of those UK dramas that starts with a bang and completely messes the non-ending (remember that show with the flood and its dumb murder mystery?). The concept is engrossing: a grieving woman doesn't accept that her brother's killer is building a new happy life after a long time in jail.

The idea that each character is multiple shades of grey is entertaining but problems starts when your plot has just so many coincidences and stupid twists and turns. It's fun until it's not especially when your lead character is psychotic and becomes the most unlikable character of the show.

People always show up at doors at the same time, go to the same location on the same crime night or hear conversations at the perfect time. Our lead lady has a unique talent to befriend anyone despite being a weirdo from day one. It's just bad writing and there are good ideas -like the religious redemption group- that are wasted. Too many plot lines are saved for the second season which is infuriating and somehow lazy. I absolutely hated the final episode that didn't make any sense and tried to fit all the reveals in the most illogical way. I also think a proper flashback about the characters past would have helped creating an emotional link with the present story. Another waste of a good premise.
