Not your average drama thriller. Great cast and acting from everyone specially from Richard Gere who was ruthless. Good story and the suspense building up by each episode, but the ending was not great, actually the ending did unjust; with all the drama and suspense I was expecting more action.
I spent 95% of the movie adjusting the volume. Had to increase the volume to hear the conversations and then it would blare out loudly during other scenes. The movie is very dark and slow paced at times. Richard Gere does a good job portraying his part but seems out of character for him. Of course the most annoyance was the constant adjusting of the volume. I suppose the story line is proving how much power one has if he has enough money. I was a bit lost at what Maggie and the young reporters were suppose to be doing. Also what was the murder of the young have tto do with this family. Guess I missed something...
Looks set to plumb the depths of conplex family relationships and the corrupting influences of power.
I don't understand the bad reviews I was really hooked. I think the acting is superb and a good set up episode.
Let's hope the rest of the series lives up to the good start!
On an impulse i downloaded all 8 episodes, not knowing what to expect.
I was captivated from the start. Every episode making me want to watch more!
This is not for people who have a low attention span, it requires a thirst for story-telling and a heart that knows what it is to be human. We are all fragile.
For everyone who posseses these qualities, the reward is immense.
Good scripting, ruthless characters, fragile characters, parallels with current political shenanigans, joy, pain, excitement etc.
Most of all, we have gold standard acting from the whole cast.
This is drama at its best.
Billy Howle is fantastic - you'll be heartbroken one moment, terrified the next!
Everyone else is also brilliant - no-one let's you down.
Like others, I am at a loss to understand why some reviews gave this a hard time. Like I said - low attention span.
If you miss it - its your misfortune.
I wish all TV drama was this good.
