Waste of time

Please don't spend money on this.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Dspite a comic book caper story, this show has, in no particular order, great casting, fabulous set dressing, tremendous cinematography, a musical score so subtle you don't hear it (that's perfection in my mind) tight writing with great development of plots and subplots, superb editing.... and no I do not have an interest in this series other than being a lucky viewer Kudos to all involved on camera and behind the production, this will be a timeless series that appeals to anyone, anywhere with access to a TV; it really is universal, crosses all age, language and cultural boundaries.

This started out well enough, sort of, if you can suspend all intelligence and just enjoy hokum. But the more it has gone on the more irritating it has become. Nothing makes any believable logical sense. Who is this Eve? How come she is the keeper of a pair of magic bracelets? Where do they come from? You will never find out. She is nothing but trouble. Why does she give a bracelet to a bad character. Who is she? Can somebody wake me up?! Even Superman has an origin, an explanation of what he is - a backstory - to use that horrible word. All the Superheroes have a cause and effect but not this story. The "hero" becomes weaker and weaker, more and more pathetic, she becomes stronger and stronger - and why? How? Who knows. The last episode is a piece of ridiculous overblown, unbelievable nonsense when we are supposed to feel sorry for the evil one? Really? And it didn't take much effort to get rid of her, too easy. Or maybe there will be the Moriarty effect and she will be back. God I hope not.I was glad when it was finished. The only reason I watched was because of Nesbitt, his performance holds the whole thing together but his character became irritatingly weak, hysterical and resorted to huffing and puffing, and it seemed he never understood what was going on! Yet another wasted opportunity like a lot films that depend on special effects that are often really good- but the story needs a believable plot, at least some element of believability and possibility. Terminator was fantasy but grounded in logical possibility as is Aliens. Modern series producers think we are all so stupid they don't need to bother with intelligent plots anymore.

Can someone explain why 99% of the characters in this show had absolutely nothing to do with the plot or ending? Golding gets put in prison and is never seen again.Some random woman kills people who she thinks don't value their second chances in life. Tries to kill Harry and gets banged up. irrelevant to story.Weird hacker girl and boss going bankrupt, she programs the car to crash. Has some coding project. None of which mean anything whatsoever to the story.Mad man vicar with his hate crimes gets run over. That's it. A whole episode for a guy getting run over.The whole "Eve" character. whats that all about? Wheres the Chinese casino owner gone to? why was she even trying to get money from the guy for the house? Why did the detective go to the office block, only to find "no one there" after he said he went for a job? Who was the random Swedish guy we saw for about 10 seconds before he died, why was he in the thing? it was 10 episodes when all the plot needed was a serial killer with a bracelet and a bloke trying to stop her. None of the plot lines had any relevance to anything.First series was alright but the 2nd was useless.

James Nesbitt stars in this crime oriented supernatural drama. Let me preface this review with point that It is hard for me to fully explain the successes of this TV show, since usually I do not write reviews for TV shows (I just felt this was worth one). Now let's get straight into it.The cast's performance is astonishing; James Nesbitt creates one of the most believable characters in recent history... whilst wearing a magic bracelet? That may sound oxymoronic, but what this show does so impressively is incorporate the supernatural with, an impressive on its own, crime drama. Nesbitt's performance makes the supernatural utterly believable, even more so his reaction to it. It would be easy to write about every member of the cast, but my personal favourites are Nesbitt Karan. Karan always delivers in her roles and this is no exception. Her character's relationship with Hagan (Nesbitt's character) really highlights the realities of working with a friend in the criminal justice system whilst providing us with a solid friendship that the viewer is always rooting for.The writing itself is so maturely done, in ways that much of TV fails to do. As stated earlier, the supernatural is implemented impeccably. And although the premise may seem far-fetched it is done in a way where you never think "yeah, well that would never happen in real life", as the rest of the show and the characters truly immerse you deeply.The show is consistent, enjoyable and emotional. I highly recommend this to anyone and believe, well certainly hope, that this will continue for many seasons to come.
