Too Close

Forget the poor reviews. Watch this utterly compelling performance of two people colliding together and finding redemption in self forgiveness and the forgiveness of each other.

I thought this was great since the psychologist was always listening to the questions that the patient/client asked her, and used that information to eventually understand what happened.

Without giving anything away then this is what good psychologists do, and they will reflect on their own experiences (whether personal or from previous cases) to come to a conclusion about what caused certain actions and the state of mind of their patient/client preceding that and after that.

I loved Cracker (10/10, showing my age here) and thought that this was along the same lines of a vulnerable psychologist confronting a very difficult case.

So, 8/10.

Hard hitting drama showing how easy it could be to be pushed to breaking point with the right set of circumstances. Also how we can pre judge without knowing the full picture. It's a slow burn but outstanding from start to finish.

This is intense. In my opinion, those who don't like it are just looking for big explosions and gun fights.

This shows the complexities of trauma and mental illness in various forms. I'm not a specialist but even I can see grief in its many forms. Very well done so far and I'm only on the second episode.

This is a real problem, Psychiatric drugs are not only dangerous to take, they are also dangerous to withdraw from. A nice mini-series, superb acting. Emily Watson is such a talented actress.
