Rules of the Game

This was a good show. In the reviews you will see comments like old clichés or same old thing. Because yes it is the same old thing still going on to this day of what happens to women. One even wanted to know what companies allow 16 year olds to work for them?? Many! It's called an internship! Duh. You can pretty much guess who left those kinds of reviews. Shows like this are still being made because it's STILL happening. To women. So take a wild guess where most of the negative reviews come from. Yes you pretty much knew who was in the wrong but it was the unfolding of the story that was good. Some people just can't understand that. This is made for people who want to know the story not just try to guess the killer in the first 5 minutes. Give it a shot if that sounds like something you are in to. You might like it.

The acting was superb! The twists were great. I really liked how it was set to keep the mystery going and there was no predictability. The character build was perfect building up to the reveal in the final episode.

I clearly do not understand the negative reviews. A lot of very clever work went into writing and development and complexity of each character.

Sam played by Mexine Peake was truly a well crafted character. Very talented acting for such a challenging role. I will be looking for her previous roles and will be watching just to see more of her incredible talent.

All actors we perfectly casted and brought so much. Bravo to everyone involved in creating this little series.

I very nearly didn't watch this because of the low score, but Maxine Peake is always in great things, so I decided to give it a go. It's very watchable, interesting even if not terribly likeable characters, and overall well done, with the exception of poor acting by the police detective.

I have worked for the last 25 years in a mixed environment but mostly male. I have seen some of the behaviours shown in this series so I can relate to some of it , what is missing though is the representative good people and particularly all the good men, the ones who are kind, thoughtful and supportive. I have worked with some difficult women but also many who have worked incredibly hard and remain wonderful. What I am trying to say is that this series lacks nuance, it like using a brick to open a window. It's a start but only that. Hopefully something similar can be produced which taps into the idea that we are not all good or all bad.

I enjoyed this series and can't understand why there are so many negative reviews. It used a common device of starting off with a death and using flashbacks to fill in the backstory. It was unusual in that the deceased wasn't revealed at first. There's a strong message about sexual harassment of women, which seems to have provoked some of the negative reviews, but I didn't find it detracted from the story. If you want a well acted, intriguing story that will keep you engaged then I can recommend Rules of the Game.
