I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

As soon as saw the advert for this dark British drama series on Channel 4 I knew I has to try it, and I'm glad I did. The story revolves around the Brogan family, father/husband Danny (David Morrissey), mother/wife Evelyn (Lucy Cohu), teenage daughter Zoe (Felicity Jones) and teenage son Mark (Harry Treadaway) moving to the secluded and under-surveillance town of Medowlands. It is when Danny murders resident Jack Donnelly (Tom Hardy) after he tried to abuse Mark that the big theme of the programme is set in motion, suspicion and investigation. The stories that went on, besides body finding and stuff like that, but no police involved, included Evelyn finding out from Dr. David York (Tristan Gemmill) that Danny isn't Zoe and Mark's biological father, Mark having sex with Brenda Ogilvie (Melanie Hill) and later her gorgeous (even if she's big) daughter Jezebel Ogilvie (Ella Smith), Zoe and Tom Tyrell (Scot Williams) investigating stuff to do with Wintersgill (Ralph Brown), Samantha (Nina Sosanya) and Freddie Marcuse (Don Gilet) knowing something about this "Cape Wrath", and in the end you see just how secluded Meadowlands is, nothing for miles besides some fields before the desert-like nothingness, a good way to end the show which is not coming back, because of low ratings. Also starring Sian Brooke as Lori Marcuse, Emma Davies as Abigail York, Sean Harris as Ormond and Kate Steavenson-Payne as Alison Tyrell. It is rare that you get a British drama series with the almost same quality of entertainment as an American one, e.g. Lost. Very good!

I thought I'd add a comment to this to show my support. I've been reading all the comments that people have written about this show and have to question the level of peoples intelligence these days.This is the sort of programme you have to think about, it keeps you guessing, who did what, what are their pasts and it leaves you looking forward to the next episode because there are lots of questions. One comment was made about the show being rushed, what do you expect, you couldn't keep up so they had to tie everything up in 8 episodes.. Impossible even for the most acclaimed of writers..I think there's a big difference between the English comments and the American, I'm English myself and agree with my fellow Brits. This is a really good series, it's a shame that it's being cancelled, it could have gone on longer, should have gone on longer...Today television is full of American programmes going for the simple and often derogatory humour, the only thing out there comparable to Cape Wrath is Lost, look what happened to that, they messed us about whilst the last season was on and kept changing the times/days.. Why? I think it's because people have forgotten how to think about a programme and how, in a way, to enjoy TV for what it should be used for. No more do people want shows that you have to think about and tune in to next week to keep the story going. No, we'd rather have things like Scrubs, Ugly Betty and What about Bryan so we can sit there, not have to think, move and possibly even breath, oh and obviously we just want to watch people laughing at fat people, people that don't fit in to 'society' and people sleeping with their best mates wife.. We don't have to think about things like that, instead we just watch with a bit of dribble coming out of our mouths and a bag of crisps at our side..I want more things on the TV that make me think, like Cape Wrath, I'm sorry you Americans didn't like it, it's English, us English like it.. Let us enjoy using our brains and watching programmes like Cape Wrath and Lost that leave us at the edge of our seat, keep us guessing and hungry for more!

Released puzzlingly as "Cape Wrath" in the UK (the US title was the more appropriate "Meadowlands"), this British production has David Morrissey and his improbably photogenic family moving to a mysterious town under new identities. It's not long before the family encounter violence, sexual tension and oodles of weirdness.I remain unconvinced of Morrissey's performance in this drama but the beautiful Lucy Cohu is mesmerising as his wife, Evelyn. Cohu drips sensuality and the later scenes in the first episode are thick with sexual tension.Harry Treadaway is convincing as the shell-shocked son and Felicity Jones delivers a memorable performance as teenage temptress, Zoe.The gritty element of the script is provided early-on by bad-boy Jack Donnelly, played by Tom Hardy. Hardy is the animalistic handyman whose activities go way beyond fitting broken shelves.Not a patch on US drama, the series starts well but falters towards an anti-climatic ending. In the end, "Cape Wrath" outstays its welcome.

I just watched the first episode, as that's all we have had in the UK so far. I like it a lot. Interesting premise, and appears original.Anyway, with only 8 episodes it is certainly worth viewing.If the quality of the remaining episodes is as good, I hope they commission a second series.To answer someone's question, it is not a set. It is filmed in Kent, in two close by areas called Leybourne Lakes (the multi coloured houses) and Kings Hill (the white houses and "town square" and pub). It's also filmed round the back of my house at the golf course (again Kings Hill).FOLLOWING COMMENTS ADDED AFTER VIEWING THE REST OF THE SERIES:I rated this a 10 after the first episode. Unfortunately the rest of the series did not live up to the promise shown. It's fairly original yes, but it's also overlong and gets tedious. I'd rate it a 6.5 or perhaps slightly better. I'd be surprised to see a second series.
