Dead Line

If you read back through my reviews you will see nothing but huge love for the series, Inside no.9 has been the blackest of black comedies, delivering tantalising episodes. I take my hat off to Shearsmith and Pemberton, as well as Stephanie Cole, for having the bottle to do a live episode. They delivered it very well, with no muck ups, as is the norm.

I hate being critical, I didn't really like this one, I found it very disjointed, with the jumping about making it almost impossible to follow, the cutaways were just too obscure to fit in. Even horrors need a trace of plot, I didn't really see one. I will rewatch in the future, and if I seen it differently I will change this review.

I did love the bit with the continuity announcer, that was great. The whole ghosthunter vibe was there, but it needed a longer format to truly work.

Pemberton and Shearsmith, I simply adore you both even more for doing a live episode.

I'll admit it did copy Rec with the night vision at the end but apart from that it was utterly horrific. So creepy ! How Emily in Paris gets nominated for golden globes but this doesn't I'll never understand.

Technical issues aside this was a great episode of Inside No 9.

I love inside No 9 however this episode was awful. Completely disjointed, and confusing but not funny or scary.

This episode made as a live episode was certainly ambitious. The disjointed nature of it which is purposeful adds to the feel of the piece. It takes a bit of thought to unravel the true meaning of the presentation.
