Too Close

Forget the poor reviews. Watch this utterly compelling performance of two people colliding together and finding redemption in self forgiveness and the forgiveness of each other.

Doctor Emma Robinson is called in to assess patient Connie Mortensen, who claims to be suffering from amnesia following a horrific crime.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, I like the format of it being on over three consecutive nights, with so much on it makes it a lot easier to follow. Presumably made during Covid, so there is a somewhat smaller cast, but it had a very intimate feel.

Too Close, does that imply how close Doctor gets to their patient, or something else?

Two very strong lead actresses, I am a huge fan of Emily Watson, she never disappoints, you know it'll be good when you see her starring. Denise Gough also, terrific, her transformation is incredible, it takes some real talent to do that.

I really enjoyed it, 8/10.

Hard hitting drama showing how easy it could be to be pushed to breaking point with the right set of circumstances. Also how we can pre judge without knowing the full picture. It's a slow burn but outstanding from start to finish.

Plenty of high scores and low scores on here with nothing in between. It's a slow burner of a series with two obviously traumatised women and a lot of mystery of what's happened to them. But you have to be patient and wait for the slow but sure character development.

Don't tune in if expecting an exciting and fast paced programme. Do if enjoying a good psychological drama with plenty of questions to be answered.

This is intense. In my opinion, those who don't like it are just looking for big explosions and gun fights.

This shows the complexities of trauma and mental illness in various forms. I'm not a specialist but even I can see grief in its many forms. Very well done so far and I'm only on the second episode.
