Full of angst, portent and gravitas.

Well, certainly full of angst.

The book was probably better but if it was, it didn't translate particularly well to the screen.

Lots of good story points and concise scenes in the beginning but it later started to drag and many things weren't explained, not that it particularly marred the movie - you're just glad it was over.

I haven't read the book so can't say if it was well adapted. Some books just don't translate well to the screen. This may have been one.

I loved series 1. This is the first time I've been prompted to comment on series 2 although it is unnecessarily dark. Ie. it adds NOTHING to the plot.

This episode, however is drivel.

The directors/producers should be ashamed at having let this through. As for the writers - look at their credits and you might wonder why they';re not writing parking tickets.

Give this one a miss, move on to Episode 8

What's left to say?

Bad script, bad directing, bad sets, bad actors, bad, er what's left? Catering? Who knows?

I've seen some bad movies but this is up - or down! - there with the worst of them.

Hey - IMDB ratings rarely get this low, they're always over-hyped so you know this a really bad movie, you don't have to take my word for it.

Go watch it. Then I can say "I told you so".
