The Killing Kind

Beautiful series Intense plot, full of twists and turns Perfectly acted by the entire cast, primarily Emma Appletone ( Ingrid ) and Colin Morgan ( John Webster ) The two create a state of emotional tension that leads the viewer to want even more You fear for Ingrid and at the same time you would trust your own life to John The two have created fantastic chemistry Colin Morgan is truly special, you can't help but love him His talents are innate It's not just bravura, no, it's something beyond bravura.

His John manages to draw you in, to make you feel loved Would you trust him?

Certainly Colin Morgan once again demonstrated his immense talents.

First episode was promising and I had reasonably high hopes this would be a decent series but it deteriorated by the week and by the end I no longer cared about the lead character and in some ways hoped she'd come a cropper as she was irritating beyond belief. Given she was supposed to be an intelligent, clued-up barrister she made some ludicrous choices and behaved in a way that was quite simply farcical. The whole thing was messy, often confusing and peppered with a host of highly unlikely, not to mention unlikeable, characters. As it was only six episodes I stuck with it but any longer and I would have aborted mission after about three.

Gave this a try because of the very high score... quickly realised that the score was based on a handful of fake reviews, and because this is buried on a streaming service nobody has, there probably won't be any real ones any time soon. It seems like a case of a book (that I haven't read) translating very badly to the screen. There isn't much character development. I was constantly asking questions as so much felt unlikely out unbelievable. It's also very cheaply made, with overuse of a mainly green colour palette to try and make it look 'cinematic'. If you've watched this and thought it was guff too then please do review it honestly and help others get a more balanced score.

Story fairly gripping, almost too many twists and turns, some implausibility.

Emma Appleton acting breathless wide eyed stilted , not a fan.surely there are others who could play this role better?

Colin Morgan a great actor, versatile and very creepy in this!

Some of the twists and turns a bit silly really but I went along with it and watched it all.

I didn't guess the ending/ denouement which says good things about the series.

I wouldn't watch it again but I enjoyed it overall.

As is the way nowadays a lot of it set in the dark so you can hardly follow the story/ action/ characters.

Had to watch it with subtitles on in order to not miss any dialogue .

Are the people giving this 10 stars watching the same show?

I had high hopes for this because of the high ratings on here.

But the main character is so utterly idiotic it's impossible to sympathise and relate to her at all. I found myself not caring what happened to her as she made endless stupid decision after the next and took the few decent people in her life for granted.

It felt self absorbed, dull and repetitive and things some characters did towards the end of the series seemed out of character for them and more just in line with where the script needed to go.

Predictable dull end with a small cliff hanger we are supposed to be excited about, but are not in the slightest. This does not deserve a season 2.

If you are a fan of crime drama's do not waste your time on this!!
