That was an excellent one.

Simply Perfect

Great Film overall

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This show pulled me in with great acting and the credibility of the relationship which develops and deepens between the two main characters. I'm tough on shows, and feel that most of them don't deserve more than two seasons (a series should not just "go on forever", although that's what happens with too many of them - they get milked for more advertising revenue, the stars want more money, and the story line is stretched thin or extended, when really it was just one great story that should have only lasted one or two seasons to begin with). This one, I think, deserves a third season, if only to follow the ongoing challenges of Alison Mundy (Lesley Sharp) after the demise of her antagonist. The show carries two story levels really well - each episode covers a "ghost" story and background, while we continue the flow of Alison's personal life, made difficult by her psychic gift of being able to see and communicate with people who have "passed over" from life to a form of purgatory. As a highly-intellectual sceptic, Robert Bridge (Andrew Lincoln) is a wonderful foil for her drama, and a brilliant way to showcase the eternal battle between science and esoteric mysticism. Lesley Sharp can go from calm and angelic to screaming and hysterical within seconds; her acting is award-worthy in my humble opinion. I thought she very accurately portrayed someone who has been doubted, bullied, scorned and made fun of her entire life. Would have loved to have found out more about the wedding ring she's shown wearing when she has her tragic train accident! There's never any mention of an engagement or a husband in her life. I highly recommend this show for those of us who want to believe in ghosts, but can't quite wrap our heads around it.

I have been catching up on old British shows this year and for the most part are extremely well written and acted, such as The Unit, Hustle, Merlin and spooks just to name a few. What they have in common is that they all have been canceled but for Merlin but it's in it's first season plenty of time to disappoint TV viewers.No offense to the British and their taste to TV shows but why this got canceled after 2 seasons 11 episodes in all I just can't fathom because this is a gem that sparked brightly. The only rational conclusion I can come up with is this was way too much show for the British mind . I say that because ghost whisperer which is yet to hit the UK stands a better chance than Afterlife only because it's basically the Disney version of Afterlife.This show need your full attention span where as Ghost whisperer you can talk and still get what it about Afterlife you miss a second and your lost. This is why I say its to much show for the attention span of the English, their used to soaps and comedies, sure so shows do well but they surely are as deep thinking as afterlife. To me this show is a 15 out of 10 and not 10 out of 10 as it is extremely well written. If people don't like this show it's only because they don't understand it and should stick to shows like Paris Hilton my new BFF

afterlife is simply the best TV series to ever have been shown on itv. lesley sharp and andrew lincolin star in a horror drama that has spanned for two series and constantly produced the goods.alison (sharp) is a medium who helps spirits complete there unfinished business who befriends psychologist robert (lincolin) who in turn begins to write a book about alisons experiences this leads us to episode after episode of fantastic British scares, dialogue and acting.each episode has its own spirit from aborted children to perverted murderers each having a story to tell along the way making you grip to the arm of the person sitting next to you. and if scary spirits isn't your thing there's plenty of drama and brilliant acting to keep you watching. its clever quirky and the vision of the directing is amazing, a must watch British drama. fantastic

This really oozes creepiness. The trouble is the plot consists of: Child is murdered. Child identifies murderer via medium. Medium is not believed. Child appears in murderers home and he falls over a banister to his death. Sorry but: Yaaaaaaawn...........You have to admit it's not exactly original. However, as I say, very atmospheric. Great performances, even though Lesley Sharp is getting on a bit now and you can't make someone look younger just with excessive eye makeup. Why not just have her play the part as the age she is? Or get a younger actress? I'm off to bed. I might have to leave the light on though...
