That was an excellent one.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Am I Missing Something?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This show is one of the best I've watched in a long time. It is the only 1 season show that has such full and complex characters, even the side characters change during the course of the plot. I love this show for being honest with the issues that the characters face. It can be dark at times, but it is worth it to see the changes that come about as they all work together to get through their problems. I'd give it a 20/10 if I could. I wish there were more shows like this. And I'm also glad that it is only one season. Sometimes after a successful season the creators want to drag it on for another season, which just make the quality drastically decrease. It's amazing as a one off.

This miniseries started well - and the muted colors worked very well for some beautiful scenes. Basically though there was not enough material (or it was simply not narrated in sufficient depth) to warrant 10 episodes. The series upon which it was based was 'only' 6 episodes and so should this have been (imho) - or even less!I also felt that too many significant events only happened because of the unbelievable stupidity of some of the cast. I find this to be a cheap and lazy method of introducing plot turns and excitement. Furthermore the bad guy was only caught by a last minute revelation that, if true, could/should not - for credibility - have been so completely hidden up to that point. I had higher hopes for this miniseries based on the reviews I read.

This show is honestly terrific and has many needed themes that need to be portrayed in modern television. It's a roller-coaster of a show, before the 10 minute mark we have a make-out scene and a triple homicide. That is the opposite of boring. It's clear the actors put so much effort into bringing their characters to life. This cast deserves more seasons to come. The kinds of themes include internalized homophobia, gang violence, pedophilia, the foster care system, corruption in the system, and so much more. It challenges stereotypes not just for the LGBT community, but also people of color, parenting, and what a criminal looks like. It's not just intense, but intriguing. We see a million crime shows that all seem to be the same, and this show provides something refreshing and new to the table. 10/10 recommend.

From the start, I hoped the plot of this TV series would develop organically from a beginning to an end. Wrong. Instead, the perpetrator is revealed close to the beginning and it descends morbidly from there into subplots that have little or nothing to do with the main plot except as props. One murder after another in a sleepy little (Canadian) town posing as a distant suburb of New York City occur almost at random. A somber and dim color tone makes the viewer drowsy, as does a slow pace in the dialogue.Worse still is a mix of very professional acting on the part of some characters contrasted with others who can barely read their lines. The presence of a Polaroid camera in one sequence is reflective of how it takes "thirty seconds" to make clear the intent of scenes that drag on far too long. Coincidences abound, obviously contrived to create suspense to fend off a viewer's frustration with an apparent inability of the scriptwriter to deal naturally with otherwise inexplicable events in the subplots. Criminal evidence as well as eyewitness testimony moves back and forth almost at random to fit whatever is needed to extend the perpetrator's freedom until the bitter end. In short, extremely unconvincing...especially the subplots.
