... View MoreThis failed to generate any excitement in any of the episodes. The acting was ok, but let down by a weak storyline and very shallow plot. The potential was there, but all too often - possibly due to the lack of time afforded to the series - the opportunities to explore the details were overlooked. I began to wonder if the director had been given a drone for Christmas, as we were presented with numerous 'flyby" shots of the beautiful coastline. Overall this was an unfulfilling drama, which promised much, but each time failed to properly satisfy on any level. Every thread played out without difficulty, never really diving deep enough to generate excitement or tension. The characters were all ok, but lacked substance or background. The final twist was delivered on a plate, with minimal fuss or fear, and I was left frustrated at having watched all 4 episodes for what felt like little payback! If you have nothing else to do then watch it, but don't expect to be gripped!
... View MoreStill worth the watch, Lee Ingleby is a fine actor, shame George Gently finished I thought a follow up series with Bacchus and Rachel would have been interesting. Still this is a solid drama, sure we've seen similar story lines before but show me something original these days, it's not easy. At least this time the man is innocent instead of the usual stereotype of the bad husband really did it, this time it's a bad wife.I applied the logic of the likes of Midsomer Murders as to who the real killer was and by episode two I had deducted correctly despite the red herrings. The killer was the only one that wasn't a suspect.I enjoyed it and was happy with the ending, despite having trouble believing David would have been so forgiving of Alice.
... View MoreInnocent has been well worth watching. A four part story that takes you on a journey of crime, its impact on the guilty, and the innocent. Emotionally charged throughout, it was gripping, engaging and thought provoking. Clues are drip fed through, with the solution delivered late in the day, you're led up several blind alleys, and keep wondering if he's guilty or innocent. Very well acted, Lee Ingleby is superb, as are Hermione Norris and Adrian Rawlins. How nice to have a drama transmitted over four consecutive nights, the way people view has changed, I'm certainly a binge watcher, this suited me.I did guess the outcome in episode 1, that's my only criticism, some actors and actresses are type cast in certain roles, this was unfortunately the case. Didn't detract from the enjoyment though.First class drama, 9/10
... View MoreIf there is an award up for this programme it's got to be for the acting from Hermione Norris (who is worth watching in everything she does) and Lee Ingleby. Both had me having mixed emotions throughout. I could feel every bit of their torment. It ended right, maybe a little rushed but why drag it out when all was solved.Loved the mini series and hope to see more again from Lee and Hermione.
