Seven Types of Ambiguity

Finished the series in one day. Originally attracted by Hugo Weaving's stunning performance then the organization of the series really gets me. Loved it a lot. I'd give 10/10 if the ending could be better. Theatrically it is surprising, yet not so bright for characters' intentions.

Seven ambiguities is a very good series. The storyline is excellent.

Casting is wonderful.

Filming locations around Melbourne are excellent.

The only downside is it's a bit slow.

Storyline is a tragedy viewed from the perspective of 6 quite different characters involved at different levels in the tragic incident.

The series delve deep into the personal struggles of each character to untimely give the viewers with an intimate knowledge.

It starts well as if there will be a tight thriller or intelligent story. That's episode one. It then devolves in to melodrama and implausibly interconnected story lines from a cheap paperback.

The acting is of a moderate level. Hugo is used as a hook and largely wasted.

At the end the story seems to go nowhere and leaves you wondering why you bothered.

It was a haphazard, erratic production. It started of very well & gave the pretense of being a classic show. However soon started to follow standard clichéd concepts and techniques of storytelling. Some episodes were disjointed, not linked with the story & seemed like fillers. The ending was pathetic, with most important questions not fully resolved. There were coincidents which seemed absolutely absurd. In conclusion its potential wasted. It could have been a much much better show. But it wasn't.

I thoroughly enjoyed this - binged it over two nights. The first episode is gripping. We travel through events told through a different character's eyes each episode and we're teased with some answers of the mystery through each character. Each episode progresses the timeline. Great acting and a very clever character driven script. The ending is superb, landing back with our initial characters and satisfyingly wraps up the complexity of marriage that has experienced trauma. I think anyone who has experienced the isolation that comes from trauma - even when surrounded by people - will find this ending powerful, and encouraging.
