Witness Number 3

Lots of weak characters in this, especially the police. I felt the drama concentrated too much on the main actor who wasn't very good. The supporting cast, the mother, son and drug dealer saved it from totally bombing. This was a good idea but didn't quite gel for me. I watched all of the episodes but the ending was very predictable. There was just something missing from the start.

The first episode was tense especially the ending.

The remaining 3 episodes just plod on with some good scenes. It's the lead character that completely ruins the show, she's not convincing at all and there's just nothing about her.

A rarity for these series is that there's a satisfactory ending.

The wooden police cast were terrible and i couldn't have cared less about their role in the story towards the end. So what?

No shocks or twists here, it's just watchable for the tense scenes when this woman is up against the gang.

I gave it a 6 but it's more a 5.7. Too many moments where actions go against good or rational judgement. Overall the director was asleep at the wheel. Also... there are more "pie in the sky" situations than necessary. All this said... it is watchable.

The premise is strong and Jodie's a character we can definitely root for but she was given too much to do on her own in the opener. The cop assigned to her wasn't convincing though.

I liked it for the most part and its good to see credible stories about life on the estate, so congrats for that. Production values were generally OK but soundtrack was a bit OTT.

It did enough to keep me watching all the way through, four episodes was just the right length and it had a satisfying ending. Better than most recent Channel 5 dramas.

The storyline is ok, but surely the police wouldn't leave their only witness (a single mother living on her own in the middle of the estate) without putting her into witness protection? She's still walking around as if everything is normal? Wide open to a drive by shooting or random stabbing maybe? Laughable 😂 I stopped watching at the beginning of episode 2 when they started the DIY on her flat! 🙄
