Miss Lady Hawk Herself

After watching the first episode I was left with a feeling, that I didn't really believe the environment, I didn't really believe the characters. It is as if they try too much. Oh, it is ever so gritty and depressing, and oh, our characters are so real. No, not really. Unlike many comparable British shows, where you forget you are watching actors, forget you are watching a constructed story, this one just doesn't seem quite right. And I may still be surprised (I hope I will) by the plot, but so far it seems rather generic and predictable. A plot point revealed in episode 2, I already pointed out in this episode. Hope I am wrong. Will keep watching though, as it seems like it consists of 7 episodes and no more. Networks should try more of those.

It has a slower pace, but I think the character introductions were great and it has more of a realistic vibe to it than most dark and ominous mysterious. I am looking forward to the next episode.

A slow-paced pilot, too slow-paced, with some good development and acting going to dust. 58 minutes of near nothingness.

I do hope that the next 6 episodes are not similar, cause then we would have an average rating of 5.5-6.

Who are the writers?!

This was a brilliantly opening episodes. One of the best opening episodes of any show imo. It's extremely well written, acted and directed. The last thing I watched Kate Winslet in was the movie Contagion. She's such an amazing actor and this show is no exception. It's such a delight to watch her act. This episode is brilliantly paced. There's so many things that the writers have managed to fit in this one hour and you never feel bored. I didn't come to know how time went by watching this.

10/10 opening. Looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes.

For the first half hour, this was slow and a bit boring, with unlikeable characters. The only person I warmed to was little Erin.

However, the story moved up a notch in the second half and I look forward to seeing the next instalment, which we unfortunately have to wait until next week to see. Fingers crossed...
