Apple Tree Yard

Brilliant. Absolutely one of the best series l have seen in ages. Trouble with watching these high caliber shows is that other shows l watch after doesn't compare. Very few far and between. I just loved it. Excellent writing, extremely talented cast. Highly recommend.

Though, I was in fact hoping to find a 'secret Sherlock' episode, I was happy with Apple Tree Yard as a whole.

I see some complaints it was TOO SLOW. It only has 4 episodes, give it a chance, lol. Have a bit of patience.

It had intrigue, lust, complicated family and marital relations. Humans that make poor choices and a question as to who is the villain.

I loved the sets from just the Apple Tree Yard SW1 Alley to the chapel of the Commons.

If people wanted Sherlock and didn't get it, they got a good mystery at least. On top of being a thriller and a damn good drama.

You get an insanely intense and mind blowing finale.

Emily Watson was great and the rest of the cast were certainly very good. Creepy ending...I hope for another series of this! 8/10

So yes it's a slow slow burn , but very deliberate Why do people think everything has to be all out action & fast paced drama. This is not meant to be Line of Duty. Overall a strong powerful storyline and Superb performances from the lead actors. Also thought the courtroom scenes were excellent. Maybe a few holes throughout the plot but nothing that took too much away from the end result. Has you riveted from start to finish even if the pace is somewhat pedestrian at times.

This is not your usual thriller. This is a deliberate psychological drama about how easily one can go down the wrong path. Main character falls into what is a pile of crap and doesn't know it until too late. She is homely and vulnerable. Bad things can happen to good people and one mistake could be too many. The very end is a social study in the human id.

I was just looking for something to kill some time. This was much more engrossing than I expected. Well acted with enough twists to keep it interesting. Have a whole new appreciation for Emily Watson. She is good.
