The Killing Kind

Ingrid Lewis, a barrister is horrified when her friend and colleague Belinda's is killed one night, carrying Ingrid's distinctive red umbrella. Ingrid receives a call from former client John Webster, who begins stalking her.

One of those dramas that could easily pass you by, luckily it came up as a recommendation on Britbox, I'm staggered as to why this hasn't been more prominent, it definitely didn't go out on ITV.

If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to check it out, you won't be disappointed. It's full of twists and turns, suspense and intrigue, a real whodunnit in the old fashioned sense, you'll have to watch right through to learn all.

A thought provoking story, but easy to follow, I didn't feel confused at any time, I was never left muddled or bemused.

I didn't instantly get into it, it does take a little time to get going, but when it does, it delivers. Episode five in particular was excellent.

A fine cast, including Emma Appleton and Sara Powell, however it's Colin Morgan who stood out for me, he has done several times, cracking actor.

Watch it.

7/10.

Great acting performances Tense, intense, destabilising story An excellent book made for an almost perfect series, I say almost because they should have worked a bit more on the ending but this does not detract from a tense thriller where truth and lies chase each other Where love borders on obsession Emma Appletone and Colin Morgan brought to life two characters who, at a certain point, take you into their fears and delusions.

Episodes follow one another and you can't stop watching: YOU HAVE TO KNOW The need to understand whether to trust or not The need to believe those eyes that speak in silence Thank you Thank you for everything Thank you Emma and thank you Colin.

Beautiful series Intense plot, full of twists and turns Perfectly acted by the entire cast, primarily Emma Appletone ( Ingrid ) and Colin Morgan ( John Webster ) The two create a state of emotional tension that leads the viewer to want even more You fear for Ingrid and at the same time you would trust your own life to John The two have created fantastic chemistry Colin Morgan is truly special, you can't help but love him His talents are innate It's not just bravura, no, it's something beyond bravura.

His John manages to draw you in, to make you feel loved Would you trust him?

Certainly Colin Morgan once again demonstrated his immense talents.

I watched it as it had great reviews, but for sure not real reviews as this series is very childish, with weak character development. Unbelievable and very tiring with constant going back and forth with the action.

Constant flashing of her remembering things that happen two minutes ago. Is a challenging to resist through 6 episode, a lot of unnecessary long scenes of her walking or being sad and remembering traumatic events not enough explained in reality. All I can say I was very dissapointed by this series. Not a fan of the main actress before, not a fan now. She is very annoying in all the series I saw her, playing the same character that seems a good girl but in reality it is not.

Let's start by saying that I had already read Jane Casey's book and devoured it in two days.

Hence the high expectations for the TV series of the same name, The Killing Kind, starring two talents of the calibre of Emma Appletone and Colin Morgan.

The series diverges from the book on a few points and has a completely different ending, an ending that at first left me a little bewildered but then, reasoning with a cool head, I realised that it is absolutely consistent with the manipulative charm of John Webster (Colin Morgan)

I finished the six episodes all in one go and often found myself gasping for breath, almost moments of apnoea so much was the tension.

The two protagonists brought to the screen a set of feelings that make you not want to take your eyes off the screen even for a moment.

The anxiety and insecurities conveyed by Ingrid (Emma) envelop you and you feel her fear The charismatic charm of John ( Colin ) attracts you like a bee to honey, you can't help but love, you can't help but desire, you can't help but trust him And that says a lot about Mr Morgan's acting qualities But can John Webster be trusted?

His charisma says: yes I love you, you can trust me Who knows if he'll be the right choice?
