    It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

    There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    Was, in one word, bloody riveting! Well that's two words! I had to binge watch which I don't usually do with any program! I hope season 3 follows in the same vein!

    I'm in almost complete agreement with DICrabbe's review, with one exception: a 4-star rating is far too generous. There is not one likeable character in the show. Marcella -- both the character and the series -- is a mess. The writing... a mess. The plot... an even bigger mess. Skip this one and check out Broadchurch, Happy Valley, Luther, Line of Duty or The Killing.

    I've only seen the second season, but it seems like the general consensus is the first season leagues better than the second. While the second season IS entertaining and strangely addicting to watch, I slowly realized with each episode that the story was slowly crumbling and falling apart, kind of like burning firewood. The ridiculous coincidences were one thing (you see this A LOT in crime shows), but the plot holes and certain subplots falling apart are what really frustrated me. The one that I still can't go over is how Gail, the young nurse taking care of who's ultimately the killer's brother and first victim, suddenly vanishes. The last time we see her, she's approached by Becky, the girlfriend of Marcella's ex-husband, who coincidentally works there. The girlfriend asks to speak to Gail, and a later scene shows her phone on the ground with her nowhere to be seen. So with that in mind, you'd THINK that it was Becky who made Gail disappear, but surprise surprise, apparently she didn't, with no explanation. That's just a single incident in this show out of many. By the time I got to the ridiculous, last 20 minutes of the season finale, I wasn't even surprised anymore by the nonsense of the show. So there I sat at the end of it, realizing I binge-watched 8 hours of a show over 2 days, only to realize I wasted my time. A 4/10 might seem generous, but at least I was entertained and not exactly bored to death.

    I think the creator hit the Writer's Block when thinking of Season-2. They have completely lost the plot and left matters hanging. They lead the viewer on a wild goose chase and end up with a totally convoluted and unpredictable as well as unrelated end. I was really looking forward to something interesting but ended up totally frustratingly disappointed.
