Apple Tree Yard

I really enjoyed this. It tugged on my heart strings at times. It had some good twists and turns. Didn't go too long with only four episodes. There was some really good acting, and nothing was far-fetched. Recommend if you're in the mood for a good drama/thriller.

Scientist Yvonne falls for a mystery man whilst answering questions at a Commons Select committee, the stranger would have a big impact on Yvonne's life.

It's starts off very well, and gets better and better, the fourth episode is brilliant, the best of the four.

It's an interesting story, that goes in the most unusual and unexpected directions, you are taken on Yvonne's rollercoaster ride. You will be curious about Yvonne until the last.

The acting is the show's primary strength, Bonnar and Chaplin are brilliant, however Emily Watson deserved awards for her portrayal of Yvonne, she is one of the best, and this highlights how awesome she is.

I would highly recommend this drama. 8/10.

So yes it's a slow slow burn , but very deliberate Why do people think everything has to be all out action & fast paced drama. This is not meant to be Line of Duty. Overall a strong powerful storyline and Superb performances from the lead actors. Also thought the courtroom scenes were excellent. Maybe a few holes throughout the plot but nothing that took too much away from the end result. Has you riveted from start to finish even if the pace is somewhat pedestrian at times.

Though, I was in fact hoping to find a 'secret Sherlock' episode, I was happy with Apple Tree Yard as a whole.

I see some complaints it was TOO SLOW. It only has 4 episodes, give it a chance, lol. Have a bit of patience.

It had intrigue, lust, complicated family and marital relations. Humans that make poor choices and a question as to who is the villain.

I loved the sets from just the Apple Tree Yard SW1 Alley to the chapel of the Commons.

If people wanted Sherlock and didn't get it, they got a good mystery at least. On top of being a thriller and a damn good drama.

You get an insanely intense and mind blowing finale.

Emily Watson was great and the rest of the cast were certainly very good. Creepy ending...I hope for another series of this! 8/10

Ms. Emily Watson gives the performance of a lifetime in this raw, jagged story of a middle-aged woman who discovers her fiery sexuality with a stranger and suffers a trauma of incredible profundity. Watson sets the screen on fire with her presence and her smoldering sexual power. Her beauty is mesmerizing and her eyes speak more than a thousand pages of intricate dialog. This a showcase for a truly great actress and all that she brings to the part she plays with such passion. Watson is a treasure and one of the finest actors Britain has ever produced. Apple Tree Yard is a fine piece and what Emily Watson achieves in it will leave you gasping for breath and stunned with wonder.
