I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable and atmospheric ghost story with a very Victorian feel to it, yet it takes place in the here and now. Others have described the plot, so I'll skip that part and just say each episode was fun to watch. The creepy atmosphere is kept at a steady rhythm and one is kept guessing as to the reasons for what is going on. You have to pay attention the entire time, which is perhaps why some viewers found it tiring. Clues are given in visual images of photographs and other shots, so you can't watch this program with your head buried in your cell phone. It's a quiet piece and you have to pay attention and participate as a viewer. There are several familiar faces to PBS viewers (Mina Anwar, Mark Addy, Rebekah Staton, Julia Sawalha, as well as some character actors). Michael Palin is touching as the main character, who is still tied to his nanny from a century ago (what a beautiful woman, by the way) and conflicted about the relationship. The final episode is where the pace picks up and it really is suspenseful wondering what is the meaning of that version of "Scarborough Fair" as well as wondering just how the story will end. I'm taking two stars off for the very clumsily written chief of police, who seems to serve more as a "conflict device" than an actual character. Also, Mina Anwar's character is gone after episode two without any feeling of resolution with her, considering her strong presence in the first two episodes. That said, the program is beautifully shot, well-acted, and steadily paced. One feels that one is moving forward all the time, without knowing quite what will be waiting at the end of the journey. This was a very enjoyable story and well worth watching.

I generally enjoy Michael Palin's work very much and looked forward to watching this series; but the first episode was so slow, so boring, so annoying, that I never bothered with the second and third installments. Adding to the general misery is the fact that at least three-fourths of the action (and I use the term loosely) takes place in the dark. The electricity doesn't work ... or the house is abandoned ... or it's just the middle of the night and no light source is available. Whatever, the ambiance is so relentlessly murky, it hardly seems worth the effort to try to figure out what's happening, if indeed anything is. Save your eyesight and your temper and skip this one.

I've never been so annoyed by one single element of something completely and utterly letting down the rest as much as with Remember Me.The setting is absorbing. The casting is spot-on. The script is natural yet interesting (except when the plot is involved). The cinematography is creepy and the sense of isolation is overpowering. The music is beautiful and haunting.And yet the plot is dire drivel, that doesn't make much sense. Constantly people are being put in situations that simply shouldn't happen. The horror elements also simply aren't scary, they're laughably predictable. They should've stuck to creepy which they handled masterfully.It's perhaps the best polished turd in existence.

We watched the first episode and it was creepy and held a lot of potential... but then it failed dismally. Episode two was so boring that none of us wanted to see or cared about the third part. But when you've watched two you might as well see all of them. Big mistake. We ended up laughing at most of it. None of it made sense and most of the characters reactions were completely unrealistic. For instance the young boy was on a swing when suddenly it stopped mid air and he jumps off, turns around and sees the ghost sitting on it. Usual reaction would be to run off shrieking or 'look like you've just seen a ghost'. But no, he just walks off slowly to the others and doesn't even mention it. Who wrote this big pile of rubbish? The main young girl in it, the carer - can't remember her name and I can't even be bothered to look up her name, spends about 90% of the episodes crying. It's just so bad... don't bother watching it. There are so many good dramas out there and this doesn't rate amongst them!
