Wolf

I thought this series was brilliant. Honestly don't know why people ain't talking more about this one because its very dark, quite gory in some parts and well acted. Every episode keeps you guessing and making you want to watch more. Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon as Honey and Molina were such a blast in this they were fantastic, their acting talents are really being wasted on british television they are Emmy worthy in this. Ukweli Roach as DI Jack Cafferty was great he was perfectly casted in the role. As well as some of the supporting roles were excellent such as Owen Teale surprisingly not playing a villain here, Juliet Stevenson, Sian Reese Williams and Annes Elwy were all fantastic.

Every episode makes the mystery more juicy and the pay-off was fantastic. The only downside about this is that there does seem like too many questions to answer by the final episode but surprisingly the finale didn't feel rushed. Its an excellent series highly recommend.

I more often than not abandon many a series because they simply fail to hold my attention. This one kept me watching! The characters are interesting and quirky and the story moves along at a fast pace with no time for boredom to take hold. I've watched the first two episodes and at this point I'm eagerly awaiting the next .

I'm not overly keen on Ukweli Roache's portrayal of Caffrey which is quite flat and weak but other than him the cast are very engaging. The Anchor -Ferrers' and the home invaders are played superbly with a darkly comic slant and horrible as the baddies are you can't look away. I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews ~ In my view this is very watchable.

Wolf: Yet another troubled detective. DI Jack Caffery becomes is obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his 10 year-old brother 25 years ago. He sits and sleeps in an attic bedroom watching the neighbour's house, his GF is getting tired of this. He even moved back from Monmouthshire after the neighbour was released from prison (he was in for other crimes). Meanwhile back in Monmouthshire a family are put through an odd ordeal. It seems to be related to a double murder which took place 5 years before. After a run in with the neighbour Jack is put on leave and ends up back in Monmouthshire where he helped in investigate the killings, naturally his personal life is complicated there as well. Dark, compelling, after two episodes I;m hooked. Based on a Mo Hayder novel. Six episodes on BBC1/iPlayer. Directed by Lee Haven Jones & Kristoffer Nyholm, screenplay by Megan Gallagher. 8/10.

Wild! There is one particular twist/turn - in the first episode - that is worth the price of admission. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about it. But then I haven't read the book. There are certainly things to object to - maybe some bits are OTT and sometimes the dialog is formulaic - but I will keep watching to see how the plot and direction develop. Also, the actors who play the "police" baddies - Iwon Rheon Sacha Dhawan - are superb. I don't quite understand why viewers are being so critical of the series; it's not as if I was expecting Tolstoy. I encourage people to give this series a chance.

Tired of watching the never ending stream of mediocre crime dramas? Yearning for something unlike anything you've ever seen before? Well you are in luck because Wolf is different in so many ways, some of them good, some of them not so good. Stick with it because some of the things that don't seem to work at the start aren't what they seem. In particular the two supposedly intelligent, sadistic psychopaths behaving like they are a comedy double act at Butlins. Is it realistic? No, of course not! None of them are, I watched Endeavour, which is a well liked series, one week the solution was carnival twins the next week it was a tiger! Wolf is no more or less believable than that. I've seen the first four episodes and will definitely be watching the other two.
