A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreStarts very slow, but picks up in the third episode. Lennie James, who also wrote the script, is predictably enthralling, barely containing a simmering rage just below the surface, which is constantly threatening to boil over. Stephen Graham brings his usual chameleonic abilities to a difficult part. Suranne Jones, however, is given little to do beyond a few generic scenes where she portrays the quintessential worried mother, and a subplot involving her husband (Barry Ward) is inexplicably dropped in the penultimate episode. These missteps notwithstanding, this is a fine amalgamation of a Ken Loach warts-and-all tonality with a more thriller-esque core. The last episode is superb.8/10
... View MoreAs always this was a superb script devised by Lennie James and such wonderful acting from Suranne Jones. Save me highlighted the realities of what some families tragically experience, with some subtle yet dramatic twists and turns. This was a truly edge of your seats show, which played on a range of emotions by a variety of viewers. The fragility of certain characters such as Stephen Graham's character, pulls on a range of issues and intertwines them in the main plot. It's no secret that Lennie James has confirmed he will be writing a series 2. There are some lose ends which have left audiences/viewers guessing or interpreting at the end of episode 6, but for more details you'll need to watch and find out... can't wait to find out where he will go from here. Truly excellent!
... View MoreCaptures the characters seen every day in London well.Subject is a dark matter but relevant in the world we live in today.Lennie James shows there is more to his talent than just killing Zombies on the Walking Dead. His character is very charismatic, and well supported by a tense Suranne Jones and the always watchable Stephen Graham.
... View MoreI give this a 10/10 rating simply because it keeps you on edge, keeps you guessing, twist and turns abound, Nail biting, thought provoking and very suspenseful, never boring and quite frequently disturbing. Totally and utterly brilliant writing and acting.
