    One more british series that (no surprise) goes to heart of controversial transsexual Chloe and the relations of 2 adolescents and 2 younger kids who recently lost their mother. 10+ !!!

    Wow! Saw a poster for the show and thought I'd give it a go. First episode I thought "interesting I'll watch the next", then I was hooked! Brilliant cast and writing. A very different concept to the usual thriller/dramas with lots of angles to it. I hope Sky film more, loved it.

    For all its flaws and occasionally botched execution, Hit & Miss remains an extremely compelling preoccupation. From its sumptuous cinematography to Sevigny's awkwardness and destructive impulses, few would begrudge Abbot a second series, if only to right the irksome wrongs of the first.

    Very mixed feelings about this show.

    It is an interesting concept, and the story line is interesting enough (a little slow moving though). After an entire season I feel like I don't know much about the characters or their backgrounds. The thing I really dislike is Chloe Sevigny's acting. The accent alone is very poorly done and she slips out of it all the time. I'm not an expert on    Very mixed feelings about this show.

    Also, they use foley sound effects for the fights. Seems really out of place in such a serious drama.    … Expand

    This is a series not to be missed! it exists on so many levels with acting that is touching. Themes involve trans-sexuality, what constitutes a family, adolescent development, motherhood, and the effects of criminal behavior as the criminal's life changes. One word that comes to mind when thinking of this series is: rich.

    An honest and confronting portrait of a transsexual woman, with a little crime thrown in for good measure. Loved the intertwining plot themes very much; it made for much drama. Terrific acting from all.

    Stumbled upon this gem on Netflix. It's one of those treasures you can find from time to time. The acting is superb as is the storyline. Truly a Great Show!

    Hit & Miss has so many ups and downs that it cannot dodge the critical judgment any hack might deliver by quoting its title.

    It's an incredibly poignant look at Mia and her new family, and Sevigny is outstanding.

    Every performance here is good--the young actors are remarkable--and though the script sometimes goes just where you would expect it to, the characters seem authentically unpredictable.
