Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

shobanchittuprolu Apple Tree Yard (2017): I have no idea about this series or the book it was adapted from prior watching this.I just picked up it randomly as it is just 4-episode long and labeled as thriller.This year I already got a surprise in the form of Cardinal (which I have no idea just like this one but Loved it after watching). SO does always random stuff turns out to be better surprises? Plot: Married with two grown-up children, Yvonne Carmichael (Emily Watson) lives a contented, conventional suburban life. But her world spirals into chaos, when a chance encounter leads to an impulsive and passionate affair with a charismatic stranger (Ben Chaplin). Despite all her careful plans to keep her home life and career safe and separate from her affair, fantasy and reality soon begin to overlap and everything she values is put at risk, as a life-changing act of violence leads to a Crown Court trial.My Review: To be frank Apple Tree Yard could easily fit into a 2hr+ feature film rather than 4-episode series.It doesn't mean that series is bad but it felt slow paced and with that content and some serious writing,this could become one of the best thrillers in film.Apple Tree Yard is thought provoking effective drama which is a must watch for everyone and it has lot of scenes with amazing sensibilities.Like the scene in which Yvonne bursts out during dinner and how Gary threatens adviser who insults rape victims,the dialogues are very good.And as for the stunning twist right at the end, did you still have Yvonne down as 'a victim' after that? Apple Tree Yard entirely belongs to Emily Watson's stunning performance.She is exceptional as illustrious scientist Yvonne Carmichael, mastering each scene as the action plummets from steamy mid-life trysts with the mysterious Mark Costley (Ben Chaplin) to "the first honest depiction of rape on television" – and on to a court case that threatens not just her reputation but her entire existence. Mark Bonnar and Ben Chaplin are also very effective in their roles.So,Apple Tree Yard is one of the rarest drama on TV which gives a sensible message which makes it worth watching.My Rating 7.25/10

DarkWench So I watched all 4 episodes back to back rather than waiting on the edge of my seat each week.I thoroughly enjoyed this - I did feel a little bit like a voyeur in places but I think that was the point.I really did believe he was a spook because of the way he behaved, but equally working for Crown Agents he could be anywhere in Whitehall even ordering printer paper! But (yes sad cow that I am) I went back to episode 1 and did not see him in that room anywhere!!As for the court sequences, especially the one where the prosecution barrister is gunning for her and Yvonne whispers to herself "this is why I never reported it" I must admit I feel like cheering when the lady (and I use this term loosely) barrister actually looked stricken with guilt.Did Mark stir the pot out of jealousy, why did he kiss and tell. Finally why did she visit him in prison???? Maybe a follow on just to make me really happy!!

tlupejkis Though, I was in fact hoping to find a 'secret Sherlock' episode, I was happy with Apple Tree Yard as a whole.I see some complaints it was TOO SLOW. It only has 4 episodes, give it a chance, lol. Have a bit of patience.It had intrigue, lust, complicated family and marital relations. Humans that make poor choices and a question as to who is the villain. I loved the sets from just the Apple Tree Yard SW1 Alley to the chapel of the Commons.If people wanted Sherlock and didn't get it, they got a good mystery at least. On top of being a thriller and a damn good drama. You get an insanely intense and mind blowing finale.Emily Watson was great and the rest of the cast were certainly very good. Creepy ending...I hope for another series of this! 8/10

kowalskipenguin-42109 Expecting a show with a plot driven by the intricacies of the novel, I encountered a sex-centered, infuriating typical sexual drama. The main character's motives are half-baked, and the plot is sickening to endure. Whatever "ingenious" production they were trying to create, whatever show they were "proud" of, has dissipated under the work of sloppy writing. Sexual themes are great, but this show has managed to make a bad first impression by butchering the sexual drama theme. And the rape scene, while accurate to the novel, felt all the more distasteful, especially when left as a cliffhanger, as if to motivate the audience to await in hope for the result of rape.
