Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
matthijsalexander This show is like reading a book. Not fast, not slow, just reading speed.It is quite impressive to see how the characters develop slowly, and keep you interested. Nothing in the story is far-fetched, nothing is impossible, and it all holds up, which makes it somewhat realistic.The family is very standard, a successful woman, a screw-up, a loner and of course a nasty mom. The story basically is finding about who the Silver Bell killer is.The acting is great, the characters deep and diverse. Yes, to me, this is one of the better shows out there. And then there were non, also a great show of similar quality.The problem with this show is, I think 1 season will suffice. Like Lost, like Prison Break and many other shows they drag the story out. I sincerely hope they'll simply see this as a mini-series or a bloody long movie, it would be awful if it started slipping (I have not seen the finale, so I do not know)
Irmak Gunal I feel Film Noir genre has returned with this series! Its like a novel from Stephen King & Agatha Christie! At least feels like it! There is this mystery that you can guess what will happen but the next step you're expecting is not happening as expected but it surprises you. One of the greatest series like in a decade! I loved it because I feel sometimes anger, fear, horror, mystery, homicide, killings and the part of Jack (the character) is amazing! I wish I was that boy when I was at his age! Great mind, great point of view. There are more than one family that come to gether to be as one family because they are siblings (that have theirown families)
kumaran-98533 This TV series is proof why i wont rely on ratings. Very good series. My guess is that Tessa Ross is the Killer. Explains why Garret and Madeline her mom would want to lie about it. Difficult to understand why this Series has a rating of only 6. Just because of 2 to 3 low ratings. That's why i will do due diligence when checking IMDb ratings. Minimum 10 lines what the heck. Maybe that's why so many have not submitted their ratings. Let me see what else i can type to fill up 10 lines. there is something about this show which makes me to come back every time to watch the next episode. I started watching this show mostly for Antony Starr (Banshee). I am certainly not disappointed. 10 lines done. Now let me submit this review.
sandowl This review contains spoilers***********This review contains spoilers***********Something poor has been happening in TV of late. Writers have been harming nonhuman beings in shows when it's simply unnecessary. I liken it to the banal, base level phenomena of 'torture porn' many films have taken on in recent years. What, is the torture of humans no longer titillating enough, so now it's about torturing, killing, maiming, debasing and butchering nonhuman beings (i.e. Cats, Racoons)?If all writers have to offer as indications for intellectual deviancy from the usual human state, is harming nonhuman animals, then they've really nothing to offer. If writers products are so poor that the only way to hold the viewers attention is to mutilate animals then the 'writer' is an untalented hack. This show seems to be the 'who killed the rich people and left silver bells as a calling card?' show. First episode in the viewer is made aware of which family was involved with the murders. I'd rather play Cleudo. Far superior interaction and involvement, and the only ones being harmed are the human characters. Far better and more satisfying.Cats, Racoons and other nonhuman beings used in the show, one would hope, were not really harmed. I find it disturbing this type of 'writing' is gaining ground in popularity among 'writers' for TV. I persevered to the third episode until the sociopath child went after the cat again. No more for me. No recommendations either- except to not waste your time. Time is valuable. It's finite. For some of us, it's all we have to give and before we know it, we'll not be here anymore. Why waste the time we have watching unimaginative trash like this, when there's such great stuff out there? There's enough brutality, violence, atrocity and other human sickness in the world as it is, without having no talent hacks shoving more of it into our faces.Animal cruelty is a serious crime. This show endeavors to use it purely for titillation and shock value.I give this a -1000
