An action-packed slog

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Just watched the fourth episode of Season 3. Chris Lang has done it again. I love this series. It's not just the wonderful story line, or the intriguing plot, or the perfect dialogue, or how easily relatable the characters are - all of those things are there for me. It's the acting! The acting is so damned good! How does Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar and the whole cast convey so much in a look, or a shrug, or in a thousand other ways? Did they learn by experience, is it the writing, or the sets, or the directing, or whatever else goes into producing a television series? I suspect it's all these things and much, much more. I'm certainly not a critic, and not much of a writer, but Unforgotten is superior television.

It's all been done before. The problem is that each dreary episode turns into a gossipy soap. There is much more quality crime drama going on every week in the actual major terrestrial soaps than in this amateurish production. The crude flashbacks are like a slideshow gone wrong by Peter Kaye's uncle. Red herrings are thrown around !ike rice at a wedding. By the time of each series' great reveal, one is unfortunately past caring

WOW! Gripping, well acted by a stellar cast list, amazing series, thank goodness for catch up.

Just finished watching the first story of season one. I really like the concept and the acting is superb but the characters are a bit too one-sided and there is a lot of stereotyping (Blacks are uneducated, Turks are thugs), with most baby boomers portrayed as immoral,, whereas the now-genaration are geneerally good; they have a better grip on morality and are the ones "fixing"the world.. Come on writers, get real! You need to write in some older characters and more minorities who also have some sense of morality and are not just bad or door-mats. Sorry, but the young-white-European carrying the moral compass of the world is not very realistic any more; this from a relatively young, European female...Two points off for all that...
