Sorry, this movie sucks

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This series hit me in so many ways - it had intrigue, Machievellian plots and soul. I really don't think it was promoted enough so that it reached enough people. Perhaps show series one again and see how it goes down. Promote it effectively and see how it goes. The characters were utterly believable despite the whole 'are angels real, or not?' question. It also took in a beautiful location that will appeal to not only the Brits but any foreign visitors to the UK who have visited York. I particularly liked the segue between every day people that the 'lawyers' served and the angelic realm. The end notes of each program where you saw the angels on top of York minster in their true angelic forms, when they hashed over the last case always showed the angst experienced by the angels while dealing with the case. Please just try again with this and promote it professionally.

Where do I begin? Seriously, the idea is a juicy one, lots of potential; the execution deplorable. It's not the cast's fault, and the location is the beautiful city of York, it's the terrible, lifeless, saggy script. It's such a shame. I have to feel that Pharaoh and Graham may have shot their bolt as a writing team. Life On Mars, wonderful. Ashes To Ashes, good, if a little predictable, and the final series somewhat jumped the shark. Bonekickers, an embarrassment both to Archaeology and to Drama. Eternal Law, intriguing premise, badly done. It's almost painful watching Samuel West and Tobias Menzies try to make something of their roles with so little of substance to work with. No surprise there is no second series. A series featuring angels should be magical, uplifting and surprising. This simply isn't.

This show is definitely innovative. At first I thought it might be like "Touched By An Angel"....but it's much darker. Seems the angels have an impossible job, and it's interesting to watch them overcome challenges. The "devil" is also well played. I do think the show endings are borrowed from "Boston Legal" but it's fantastic to see those gigantic wings they sprout during those segments! I'm disappointed that the series is over after six episodes! Admittedly I was less than enthusiastic about some of the episodes, because the some of the story lines didn't quite flow well, resulting in confusion on my part. But now that I know it's over, I'm gonna miss seeing it....unless the writers can somehow contrive to "erase" the ending. Remember how they erased an entire season of "Dallas" saying it was all a dream? Encore, encore...and bravo for this drama!

I liked that it seems not too clever or complicated. I really like courtroom dramas and it's interesting to have angelic beings acting as lawyers. Reminded me a bit of that lovely old film with David Niven,- A matter of life and death. In Eternal Law the acting is wonderful, if it wasn't they would never have been able to pull this off at all. Because, I sit there all tense, even when the wings are out, until it's all over and I know that clock isn't ticking anymore. The cast are brilliant - isn't Sam West the best actor we have, what a voice:) I love the dry wit that his character has. I love that he is tortured with lustful feelings for Hannah. While I am 'rooting' (sorry) for him to give her one - partly I must admit to see if his ejac would really knock her head off.- I do understand that the struggle he has with these feelings are really what it's all about. The fall. If that old angel hadn't fallen for one of us. We would all still be dancing around with fig leaves on having fun in the garden of Eden. Mr Mountjoy is just so bureaucratic, but isn't that just so true of everything in our world. Our whole existence balances on the tip of his ball point pen. I really loved the latest episode. It was so touching. I love that Zac and Tom are caught in the middle as innocent tools of Mr Mountjoy. I like it that Mr Mountjoy has no compassion and would switch us off at the drop of a hat just because the paperwork was building up and anyway we irritate him. He made a mistake when he made us and he knows it. After all he made us in his own image. The imagery of the Great war hit home to me. After all wasn't that just a bureaucratic exercise devoid of any compassion towards flesh. I hope there will be further series in the future. I love the light and dark. The defence and love towards those who seem wrong and guilty and bad. If it isn't continued I hope the ending is that we all go out in a blaze of glory as Zak has his wicked way with Hannah, blows her head off and shoots his cream so hard and high that it blows a hole in the ceiling, arcs a rainbow, rips the sky into two and hits old Mr Mountjoy right in the eye.
