Truly Dreadful Film

Strong and Moving!

Brilliant and touching

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

I think this show is decent. The writing, specifically the story and plot are definitely this show's weakness. The story is interesting enough for me to keep watching but, it's not keeping me glued to me my seat and waiting for the next episode. It's just ok, not bad, not great, just OK. 7/10

An excellent drama which focuses on a family drawn into a frightening, and very relevant, terrorist situation. A bit of a continuity blunder early on seems to have given some people a bit of a stick to beat this programme with but, embarrassing as it may have been, it has no real effect on the story. Tension builds nicely to a genuinely moving conclusion. The actors create a believable family dynamic which is far more effective for the telling of the story than having some maverick cop-type character or Strike Back style antics doing everything for them. Nice to see Archie Panjabi in a lead role in the UK too - long overdue.

Episode 3 and after shooting at Danish and hitting Doctor Mona instead, the woman from MI5 wonders whether they might have frightened Danish off! Nah, not at all, don't worry - he'll trust you! It also seems that Pakistani hospitals have much better treatment capabilities than the NHS as Dr Mona is miraculously cured and back on her feet within days and.....completely forgives and forgets MI5 for shooting her!If the BBC keep producing stuff like McMafia against rubbish like Next of Kin then they have nothing to worry about - the licence fee's worth it!

A slow and pedantic series with several pointless scenes and whimsical 'face the camera' dialogue. Shades of Bollywood in this drama targeted at UK minorities. Mood musicians must have made a packet out of it.
