Very well executed

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Two words - Lesley Sharp. How has she slipped under the radar of most of the British public for so long, clearly true fans of drama have already noticed her but it just goes to show that it really is all about looks and a celebrities personal life... anyway,anyway,anyway. What people want from a drama series is exactly that - drama! Many programmes rely on a romance or comedy to keep the storyline going but Afterlife doesn't, every episode provides a new and original situation in which many people may have faced. My favourite episode is probably 'Things Forgotten', not only is there the main storyline of sexual abuse but the underlying message of 'what if this is all there is?' and after all the drama of life has disappeared is it true that we just become ordinary? The sheer brilliance of Lesley Sharp comes through in the episode where her father returns and she finally faces up to her past. Many actors would've overplayed this completely but I was kept in awe of Lesley when she broke down and was utterly vulnerable,her performance was and always is so naturalistic that she isn't just a character on television, she IS that person... The final episode had me absolutely shaking with tears because what I had been watching for the past year or so had become like reality to me, I had grown to know and love Alison and Robert and for the series to end was distressing for me. 5 years later I still cannot believe that this series was cut. Ridiculous. Anyway there's my rant over, I hope you enjoyed Afterlife as much as I have.

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

I loved this show at first but the on again off again relationship with Robert and everyone makes me angry. Robert is a first class jerk, God help you if he was your shrink. Robert should be believer after the previous shows concerning his son. Robert's ex-wife is a bitch and can't make up her mind either. I do like the fact that all the shows do not have a happy ending. There is too much conflict between the lead players to be friends. The acting is done very well. Does everyone in England really drink that much? There is a bottle of wine in most scenes. I watched both seasons in two days like a good book I couldn't put down.

Is it me or has the series afterlife really shone out from all previous and present television shows? it has an special effect on you where you are diving behind the sofa at one point, and crying your heart out the next. What A brilliant combination.Not only does it provide entertainment, but it also shows an inside view at both medium-ship and scepticism. Before, we thought all that mediums did was perform Ouija boards, but not in this series. The beautiful performance by the wonderful Lesley Sharp as messed up and confused medium Alison mundy really did bring the series to life, and the outstanding Andrew Lincoln matched that as the un-believing sceptic Robert Bridge. These two characters were portrayed every week perfect, and yet it did not seem to bore you with the same two faces. the story lines were just as gripping, showing every day members of the public dealing with death in modern life. This was quite entertaining. well done everyone who worked on the show, it was magnificent!
