In the opening minutes you're beaten over the head with a combination of terrible acting, some embellished truth feminist rhetoric about the Mosou people, and a contrived bar scene straight out of East Enders with equally terrible dialogue.In the opening minutes you're beaten over the head with a combination of terrible acting, some embellished truth feminist rhetoric about the Mosou people, and a contrived bar scene straight out of East Enders with equally terrible dialogue. Somehow people thought the ideas that work for daytime television soap operas would translate to a crime thiller. The pacing is terribly slow. Gillian Anderson is a smoke show but she can't save this. I struggled to stay awake in the first episode and by the end of the second one I was done. The writers should be lined up, some of the dialogue is utterly stupid that one or two revisions could've saved. The emergency services call was just pathetically bad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this show is quite dark but, many great lessons about morality and mental health issues
the serial killer man had some serious issues, but the show really plays the devil’s advocate and makes the viewers question, “are psychopaths born or created?” in this case, i honestly felt for the serial killer, though he did many terrible things and i feel so bad for the victims and their families as well. but this series felt very down to earth, with the harsh realities shown, and it seemed to really show the viewers what magnitude of damage child sexual abuse/witnessing mother’s suicide can do. its honestly one of the most
terrible things a child can go through, and i was so glad that the fall wasnt based on some true story. that would have quite literally broken my heart. i wish the serial killer paid the price and had justice served to him instead of him killing himself at the end. but again, the show was very realistic. we often see people who’ve done terrible crimes kill themselves. this show incited a lot of thoughts and reflection in my head.… Expand

Le retour de ‘Scully’… comme Commissaire aux trousses d’un tueur en série en Irlande du Nord… plus de **** hommes gris, plus de soucoupes volantes et plus de Mulder pour dérider l’atmosphère… Cela étant, Gillian Anderson est en pleine forme,Le retour de ‘Scully’… comme Commissaire aux trousses d’un tueur en série en Irlande du Nord… plus de **** hommes gris, plus de soucoupes volantes et plus de Mulder pour dérider l’atmosphère… Cela étant, Gillian Anderson est en pleine forme, belle et convaincante.

Et cette série alors ? à part Gillian j’essaie de lui trouver des qualités… la froideur clinique, le réalisme peut-être ? oui, on dirait un reportage à la télé, il manque juste le commentaire. A part ça, de l’émotion, de l’intérêt ? des personnages dont on se souvient ? à part Gillian je veux dire…

Le psychopathe sans doute ? non on s’en branle complètement et c’est le problème rédhibitoire : on s’en branle à un point de tout ce qui peut arriver là dedans, un point… inimaginable ! C’est plat comme un épisode de Navarro ou du Commissaire Moulin. Mais avec Gillian Anderson.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing performance by Jamie Dornan. The first episode was a little drawn out the rest of the miniseries made up for it. I really felt the performance. Some viewers might find it disturbing. Being a trained professional in psychology, I felt I was feeling the emotions the hights and fears of the serial killer and Githat… Expand
