You would think that an event like this would make for a GREAT story. Especially when you have the means of AMAZON and MGM Studios.
I was excited to see this. I was hoping it would have some great writing and star-power - as they did in the 1972 classic "The Poseidon Adventure". Unfortunately - it had neither. It is a real shame. There were moments of brilliance in this series but they were few and far between. The camerawork and special effects were disappointing. The video quality was downgraded to better match with some of the actual footage from the disaster. I am sure it seemed like a good idea pre-production but not so much in the final cut. If you are not a PREMIUM customer of Prime - you have to wade through the commercials which seem to be every 15 minutes. Anytime you start engaging with the story - you are stuck with an Allstate Insurance commercial. This is just another reminder to me to READ the reviews before you invest the time in some of these programs. Sorry folks - this one does not make the grade.

It won't win any Oscars - but it will hold your attention. Certainly bingeworthy - and always a twist coming at you. Beautiful beachside town near Banger - and on my list to see next time I am in Northern Ireland.
Though a series about policing - there always seems to be a happy ending. Most important are the dynamics of family and small towns.
I was happy to see it delve into the subject of gay marriage. Where it was long taboo to be OUT. It is obvious they got good feedback after taking a chance on the subject matter. It seems by season 3 there were 3-4 occasions that they brought gay couples into the storyline. Kudos - but too much becomes cringy.
I'll watch season four when it is out. As the Irish may say - Good Craic - but light reading. Cheers!
