    Great drama but leaves too much unresolved

    Ten masterfully interwoven human stories that come together and are teased apart in a multi-car highway accident. If they had only given us closure on all the stories involved, I would have rated it a 10. I won't spoil it by getting more specific because this is really worth watching. Douglas Henshall who later played a similar lead role in Shetland is incredible and alone worth the cost of admission.

    This is a Fantastic Story with Fantastic Acting

    I'm not going to describe what's going on in the film because others have but I must say this is a keeper.

    I bought the DVD and have seen it 5 times now.

    Of course it's easy to watch Douglas Henshall... any time especially his voice.. whew...

    Story line is believable and the writing is top notch. Incredible film.

    I have a friend who has trouble hearing things, so I turned on the closed captions . . makes it easier to understand words not familiar to us folks over across the pond from the UK.

    Top marks, y'all. It's really a great show. Thank you

    Great realism, great acting, nice tight script w/no filler

    Excellent TV mini-series that doesn't suffer from the "Netflix effect" - making things long just because you can.

    Each of the 5 (yes, only 5) episodes it tight & moves the plot along nicely, without a lot of the fluff or filler you often see in series 8 or 10 episodes long.

    The acting is superb, and the casting for each part was impeccable. All the actors look as well as act the part. And it all looked & felt real - none of the "oh come on, no one would do that" I often yell at the TV.

    Does show how random parts of life can be.

    Highly recommended.

    Highly complicated yet satisfying British drama

    After a slightly slow beginning and maybe an episode to get used to the several lines of converging storytelling, as well as the numerous flashback back stories, this high quality drama starts to become somewhat riveting. The highly proficient cast do superb justice to the fantastic script, and the viewer will see many faces here that went on to successful careers. It's nearly a decade old but that doesn't seem to distract from the quality or watchability. It's terrific, a many layered jigsaw puzzle that delights. The opening credit sequence is bland, but mercifully short. Everything is working well here. Highly recommended.

    A GEM DISCOVERED

    What an absolute gem of a find. A brilliant cast and a very clever story with a sting in its tail. Absolute quality drama that truly should get another airing during the Covid drought. Hard to locate unless you pick a prime site but still worth shelling out for. Doug Henshall as always gives his classic brilliant understated shine.
