Man in Room 301

I really liked this series. I can understand the people who felt lukewarm about it - it has its fair share of contrivances and slightly unbelievable plot twists. But what made it for me were the performances - mostly 10/10 imo - and the way it didn't overreach into the backgrounds of the families to try and explain why they were so dysfunctional. I thought the direction was good and the storyline just about plausible. And the ending was satisfying - obviously very contrived, but the key message that the sins of the fathers do not necessarily have to be visited on the generations that follow left me feeling a bit more upbeat about life, especially after being in Covid isolation for a few days :)

We've now got used to these thrillers dramas etc . I looked forward to this one , my biggest problem is the way they've put it together , jumping to different years so if you look away for a second suddenly you find it's leapt back or forward to a random year it seems !! Otherwise it's pretty enjoyable but it does need your full concentration

Wasted potential. Starts off strong and I was intrigued by the family secrets. But...This show was so frustrating to watch and the ending made no sense. Multiple creepy young men creep around, but no one ever seems to be creeped out until it's too late. I yelled "ASK WHY?!?!" at the screen many times. No one seems to want to know why anyone does inexplicable creepy things.

Even the title is a red herring.but forgivable as this is a well constructed thriller .perhaps it takes you down to many misleading avenues .but it is never less than absorbing.

The casting was all wrong. The audience were drawn into a "who is it" rather than a "who dunnit" plot and the production cheated. Leo (confusingly played by Elias Gould) - was an obvious choice to play the older Elias Leppo. He would have been very believable and had the right colour hair. In the end it proved that Elias Leppo was played by somebody who looked nothing like the younger version of himself and even had the wrong hair colouring. Ginger hair does not turn into black!!! Add in the holes in the plot and the end was all rather disappointing after a promising start. Even the title was misleading.
