Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
monesque TV doesn't get much better. You can tell because you actually have to pay attention to the tightly-plotted episodes to keep up with everything going on. Gritty, suspenseful--overused, but accurate words for this series. Everything is dark and edgy in atmosphere and plotting, but what clearly seals that deal is the richness of the characters. Fully fleshed out, they are wildly imperfect human beings with a burning desire for justice--a corny proposition that they probably could not even acknowledge to themselves. Their flaws, their problems and their disorders are obstacles to be overcome, but never seem hackneyed for one obvious reason: the acting is brilliant and makes it real. Mireille Enos is particularly amazing. She always seems one step away from a real nervous breakdown and it never seems contrived as she tries to juggle all the balls in her life. The only really sad part here is that in the little coda that was produced to wrap things up, there was at least one, huge false note. I don't want to set out spoilers, but that penultimate scene with the Mayor, et al in collaboration was simply absurd. None of it rang true. It couldn't have happened with that many people, witnesses. Ok--4 seasons, 1 false note (although that was a doozy that really marred the finale). I can forgive it.
firefly-86617 Deep and dark and always raining. This is like a good book sitting in your cozy chair with hot cocoa. It's so well done.
tamashiinonamida Drama series but the most outstanding conclusion I came to is: If you beat a man to a bloody pulp with his life hanging by a thread just go and fix his front door porch light and it is going to be all sunshine and sparkles.
S W Why this show is so highly rated I will never know. If tired cliches and tear jerking is your thing, then this is a show for you. Also, incredibly drawn out. 2 seasons to solve 1 murder! Give me a break! Ain't nobody got time for that!
