Sadly Over-hyped

Just what I expected

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie has some serious issues in its core. Now I understand that some may feel like the movie is a bit lacklustre and does not give you the whole picture on some things or goes all the way. It also feels for some that some of the actors may be wasted. But that is up to you to decide, I personally think they are all doing more than a decent job.It's four parts and it works quite neatly. It tackles subjects that have many sides and blurry lines, because you don't have just black and white. There's a lot of gray areas and a lot of characters who may think they are doing the right thing, but ultimately, what is really a right thing? Who does judge and who can tell? So while it may not go too deep, it still has enough to be worthwhile

Forgive my bad English, but I must say that that the story was so very good that I really hope for a second season. The female detective, played by Carey Muligan, is the closest to any female role I've encountered that is somewhat close to the character of Modesty Blaise. Differences may be huge, but what they have in common is the fight for rightness that in a way that goes beyond any story thats has male protagonists.Kip Glaspie "senses", as she herself explains, the thruth and follows her instinct all the way until the audience understands the complexity of the affair told.This is a story of how a female heroine uses her understanding of the system to find the killers and at the same time enlight viewers of the difficult situation we ask immigrants to accept in their efforts to start a new life. Extra plus to actress Nicola Walker that never fails a sensitive role of character.

Im only two episodes in and I will definitely watch to the end because I'm enjoying it, but it does have some big flaws. A previous reviewer nailed it when s/he said this was written like a play, not a movie.. Some scenes are like old "Law & Order SVU" episodes with each character taking turns telling us a bit of information. Very little depth of character; dialogue too rapid-fire. While I agree with the liberal points of view here, I don't like them being presented in such a ham-fisted manner.

4/4/18. I was getting into the British crime series and gave this a try. For the most part, it just seemed somewhat stiff and prodding. Probably could have been better as it had some potential.
