Purely Joyful Movie!

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.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Well, I have to admit that I was attracted by the gay element inside this TV series. I really love the feeling Philip and Lukas gave me. But the color of the whole series is too dark and I hate that very much. it's unnecessary and it really makes me feel uncomfortable all the time. This needs to change. Philip Shea is probably my favorite character in this show. He's kind and cute. He knows sacrifice and he is willing to love and give. I'm impressed by this character. I hope that there will be Season 2!!!!

I just started watching "Eyewitness" on demand and I'm beyond sad that USA hasn't renewed it. I don't think it was promoted well - I'd never even heard about it and stumbled on it completely by accident. I've read negative critic reviews and many positive viewer reviews;seriously I've never understood what critics look for in a show. The acting in this is wonderful, the mystery suspenseful even though we know who the bad guy is, the strength of the lead characters, the difficulty of a small town boy discovering his feelings for another boy, a city boy who is a foster kid and the bullying of that plus he's gay...I grew up in a small town of 1800 souls, I can empathize with these kids. The marriage struggles of being someone you aren't and on the other side, discovery that the person you love isn't who you thought..everything feels very honest and acted with subtly. It may not be Law&Order, but hell, what is? This has pulled me and kept me glued for two days. Finding out it won't be back is sad. Maybe Amazon or Netflix could pick it up? It was nominated for a GLAAD award and it deserves to continue.

What's amazing about this show, is that you can hardly name the topic. It's a thriller, obviously, but it focuses on the investigation as much as on the characters lives, their relationships and their development. The "drama- part" of the show is mainly about Philip and Lukas, two boys, who happen to be eyewitnesses to a triple-homicide, but don't tell anybody, because they don't want them to know they were together that night. In fact it's a heartbreaking love relationship, and the topic of gay love, coming-out, and (the fear of) homophobia is treated in a very sensitive and honest way. Then there's Helen, the cop investigating in the murder-case. She is Philips foster-mother and appears to have a troubled past herself. She is struggling with creating a family bond, and keeping Philip and her husband close to her, while being totally obsessed with the case. The "crime-part" of Eyewitness is very interesting, since we get to see the point of view from the witnesses (who later possibly become victims), keeping what they saw a secret, the police, trying to solve the case, and the murderer, covering up his tracks. We know who the murderer is, right from the beginning, but it does not ever get boring. On the contrary, it creates a certain tension and makes you wanna shout at the television. So all in all, Eyewitness is a very extraordinary show, with deep characters, an excellent soundtrack, and a new twist every episode. Very recommendable!

This is the first time on televisions a same sex couple have such representation on a mainstream genre. Furthermore, this show has a solid story line with a strong female lead and multiple significant POC characters. Male characters are very in touch with their emotions. The story unfolds interestingly with details that are carefully crafted. There are different elements for viewers to enjoy, romance, drama, and suspense, each composes the story and nothing feels out of place. The acting is fantastic. The cinematography is breath taking. The two male leads have wonderful chemistry with each other on and off screen. A show this good deserves a place on mainstream television and multiple seasons to tell its story.
