just watch it!

Just so...so bad

Am I Missing Something?

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

One of the worse programs ever produced. Two gay boys see a murder and so decide not to tell. Duh, they could say they were there drinking not having sex. But then the whole rest of the series would fall apart. Then having the killer be the FBI agent in charge. What a weak plot. But you could always tell what mode he was in because like Jekyll and Hyde he was either smiling or scowling. And the script-- OMG was this written by high school kids? And the female sheriffs husband--he had one expression whether he was mad, or sad it said confusion. Like the whole series.And, to make the series "moody" they decided to take all the saturation out of the picture so it looked kind of like black and white. All that did was make the file muddy not moody. And, to top it off, feeling they didn't have enough action shots to warrant the number of episodes each one was filled by a long irrelevant conversation between two people about feelings or understanding. OK, and here's the real spoiler they wanted to show that the female sheriff was conflicted and in this small town running away from something. So some kid dreamed up--Hey lets have her have killed a baby in Buffalo. How lame can you get.

Such a fantastic show, full of suspense and has a very good and accurate representation of a gay relationship. Love Helen and Gabe's relationship, as well, they're not just two older people who live for the young protagonists, they have lives and personalities of their own. Every character has a very unique and rich personality/past, and very interesting. The plot is so fantastic as well, I'm immersed in every episode and every character arc. NO criticisms here, one of my favorite shows I've ever seen. Definitely one of the best shows on television right now, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good suspenseful drama.

What's amazing about this show, is that you can hardly name the topic. It's a thriller, obviously, but it focuses on the investigation as much as on the characters lives, their relationships and their development. The "drama- part" of the show is mainly about Philip and Lukas, two boys, who happen to be eyewitnesses to a triple-homicide, but don't tell anybody, because they don't want them to know they were together that night. In fact it's a heartbreaking love relationship, and the topic of gay love, coming-out, and (the fear of) homophobia is treated in a very sensitive and honest way. Then there's Helen, the cop investigating in the murder-case. She is Philips foster-mother and appears to have a troubled past herself. She is struggling with creating a family bond, and keeping Philip and her husband close to her, while being totally obsessed with the case. The "crime-part" of Eyewitness is very interesting, since we get to see the point of view from the witnesses (who later possibly become victims), keeping what they saw a secret, the police, trying to solve the case, and the murderer, covering up his tracks. We know who the murderer is, right from the beginning, but it does not ever get boring. On the contrary, it creates a certain tension and makes you wanna shout at the television. So all in all, Eyewitness is a very extraordinary show, with deep characters, an excellent soundtrack, and a new twist every episode. Very recommendable!

Eyewitness is another one of your typical murder mysteries. It's nothing groundbreaking, but keeps up a consistently entertaining (if sometimes confusing) story line. A lot of the focus is on the characters. The relationships between them are developed realistically and shy away from many of the stereotypes you will see nowadays.Eyewitness does a good job of representing women and minority groups, which is something to be appreciated. Julianne Nicholson's character in particular, Helen Torrance, is one of the more well written female characters I've seen.My only problem with the show is the color tone: it's way too monochrome and gives off an awfully dreary atmosphere at times.Overall, the show is a fun, light watch, if not entirely memorable.
