Injustice

I enjoyed this series but it never quite became as gripping as i felt it should have been. A little slow and dull. Maybe fewer episodes might have helped to speed things up a little. Worth watching but no more than that.

I felt compelled to put pen to paper myself after watching this thoroughly enjoyable drama, I would say by far the best thing on ITV in 2011 Purefoy is at his best with a great support cast in Miles, Diveney, Parker and Dunning. Love to see more of this in the future, the writing is from Anthony Horowitz known for Foyles War, Murder in Mind, Midsommer Murders and The Gift. In the beginning you see only success from Travers lifestyle but it soon unravels into a web of intrigue, not everything is what it seems, flashbacks are used to build a powerful story of a man with a secret in his past, will it catch up with him?

Anthony Horowitz (Foyle's War, etc) is one of the best tv crime and mystery writers the UK has, and despite this not being one of his better programs, it's still very much worth watching. The problems are in the plotting: it could have been a full hour less and there's too much foreshadowing of the final scenes, which are far too predicable. But still, it's a solid show and while James Purefoy is, as always, terrific, it's Charlie Creed-Miles who steals the show in a highly unsympathetic role.

If I had given up because it was a tiny bit slower than the pace I was expecting up until about 3/4 of the way through the first episode, I'd have missed some fantastic entertainment. It was probably only slow to me because I'd just finished watching the movie about Cleveland mobster, Danny Greene, so my pulse was still pounding a bit. (I tend to really like biographical stories). This is a great story full of some really unexpected twists and very real and flawed characters who just pull you into the story even more. I loved it. The actors are not known to me --I'm in western Canada-- but that doesn't mean anything, because I usually forget the actors and only remember their characters if they've done a good job (plus I'm kind of ditzy with names). And they did an incredible job. If it were a regular TV show, I'd probably go and get cable again (I mostly rely on books and movies lately). Thank you to my friend, KJ, for insisting I watch it.

This show was pure entertainment from the start. Good story with a twist, good acting, a few surprises and well worth watching.
