Riveting and Surprising May 20, 2008
This mini-series was like a book you did not want to put down. You start wondering why it takes 6 hours to tell a story. At the end you are breathless.
It is like a satisfying meal which leaves you full, but wondering when you can return. My wife and I like to discuss what we have seen as we go through each episode to ensure that we did not miss anything, epecially with movies that contain Britspeak (I am English and have no problem with it, my Canadian wife sometime finds it difficult - pause on a DVD player is a great invention.)
There are several sub-plots within the story which periodically come together and then part again. In the end you are left very surprised where the story ends up. Though you were led there gently, not all of sudden presented with a solution where you ask "where did they get that from?"
Make this into just a 2 hour American movie - the resulting feelings should be totally different.
Watch it once to see the movie, then watch it again to get what you missed the first time. All performances were top notch. Like most British movies it tells a very good story without the flash effects which Hollywood has to substitute for quality.
As Good as it Gets March 27, 2008

It doesn't get any better than this. One of the all-time-great TV dramas. Politics, sex, betrayal, government chicanery, Big Oil shenanigans, more betrayal, more sex, intrepid reporters and the drollest news editor ever to grace the small screen. It all begins with a murder and a suicide. Then the suicide becomes a murder and we're off and running.
Be warned. The pace is break-neck and the dialogue sizzles. Unless you know Brit-speak, use the sub-titles. Repeat viewings are compulsory. Watch this six-part BBC series first, before the Hollywood remake debuts next year and ruins everything.
