Stay Close

I will be honest, with names like James Nesbitt, Sarah Parish, Eddie Izzard and Cush Jumbo in the cast this was always going to be a show that I would be watching from start to finish.

The first episodes were a bit messy, but after that it had me hooked and I binged it in one sitting.

Some would say it was convoluted and they would be right, it has lots of twists and a few red herrings, but you have to persevere with shows like this if you want to be entertained.

The one star reviewers who didn't even get through the first episode deserve to miss out, if you have the attention span of a gnat, you deserve to miss out. Go and watch a show with lots of explosions.

This is not what I would call a brilliant show, but it has a lot of twists and they keep coming right to the very end and I mean that literally.

If you think you should give up after the first episode or during the first episode, don't this is worth the 7+ hours required to watch it.

Not sure I would watch it a second time, but it is likely if given enough time between viewings.

Easy 7/10 for me.

After finishing this mini-series and reading many of the reviews, I'm convinced most were written by 14-year old boys with the attention span of sparrows. This is as well written, acted, directed, and produced as anything available to stream. Just stay with it, and you'll not be disappointed.

The whole idea of the series is based on such an absurd assumption that it's hard to accept anything else. Main character decides to disappear and change her life completely out of fear for her life. That's why she decides to stay in the same city. And lives there for decades without any issues. And cut.

If you can swallow that one - the rest is easy peasy. Even the dancing assassins that have accidentally crossed over from another movie.

It was rather enjoyable with all the twists & turns,which got better with each episode.

I do feel a few characters/actors,could of been differently cast.

However overall the storylines,acting,cinematography was decently done.

It is worth a watch! Find these foreign based shows,rather more intriguing than american.

What a terrible piece of drama. Nothing but cliche after cliche - totally unrealistic and unbelievable nonsense. Not even well acted. Complete waste of my time and Netflix money.
