Platform 7

Lisa watches in horror as a mature man named Edward jumps in front of a train, taking his own life, Lisa is a ghost, one seeking answers as to how she too, died on Platform Seven.

This definitely gets additional points for being something a little bit different, it's definitely not your average, run of the mill crime drama, there's more than a hint of aci fi here, which really does make a refreshing change.

Episodes one and two are quirky enough, luring you into a world of fantasy and ghosts, the twist definitely comes in episode three, where it feels like a whole new show.

Jasmine Jobson delivers a quality performance, so good, credit too to Toby Regbo, very good as the controlling, but charming Matthew.

My only real gripe, the poor use of Phil Davies, who's character just didn't go anywhere, surely we had more to learn about Edward.

Stick with it.

8/10.

This started off quite well. It was intriguing and I thought it had the potential to go somewhere, Sadly, it did not. There were so many shots of the lead character standing and staring in between the so called action.

The old man added nothing to the story. Apparently this is based on a book, but this series didn't know if it was a thriller, drama or comedy. I have no idea if the book is any good or not, so can't make any observations on that.

Anyway, this had potential, but then was just silly. It could have been a good ghost story, even if we all knew exactly what was going to happen. 12345.

The drama tackles the sensitive yet crucial topic of coercive relationships and the complexities of fleeing domestic violence. The portrayal of the outcomes, especially when abusers take their own lives, shedding light on the aftermath of such situations.

It's commendable that the drama features actors from classic dramas/films, bringing their experience and depth to these sensitive scenes. This blend of seasoned talent in such serious roles likely adds authenticity to the portrayal of these critical issues.

I would say the show caters to both young adults and older audiences speaks to its universal relevance, as these serious cases can indeed affect individuals at any stage of life. Overall, "Platform 7" is well put together series that effectively addresses an important societal issue while providing valuable insights and awareness.

What I don't understand is why we didn't see the Constable visit Shale or the Ex-Girlfriend and hear that conversation about his behavior? That was one of the best discoveries in the series.

That was one of the first request from his supervisor; speak to the Ex Girlfriend who's a nurse.

Also why didn't the other Constable tell his friend about the message he received from Dr. Shale?

Why No consequence for him?

That was a missed conversation.

I don't understand why the old man storyline was added; it did Nothing to increase the main storyline.

Overall I did enjoy the show.

I I recommend to several friends to enjoy.

Kept me gripped, those who said they gave up after episode 1 missed a good storyline.

Disturbing and great final episode. Highlights coercive behaviour and stalking. Could have looked into the doctor's past and what made him the way he was but then it may have dragged the series out and 4 episodes is just right.

Could have expanded a bit on the final episode but I suppose that would have dragged it out too long.

I feel there could be a 2nd series, expanding on some of the side stories, I feel they were a bit unfinished especially the autistic doctor and the young transport officer.

Great acting by a young fresh cast.
