The first episode certainly does its job, as it set its hooks into my curiosity with entertainment, emotion and terror. Given the chance, The Living and the Dead proves to be an hour of television well worth tuning into each week. Read full review

The results are certainly mixed; at times, The Living And The Dead doesn’t feel so much ambitious in its combination of science fiction, creature features, and Gothic horror as it does apologetic. ... The cast is solid, but its two leads are both standouts. Read full review

With the protagonists' interior evolution amounting to little more than window dressing, there's no pervading direction in which the series can go, leaving the audience with an episodic collection of occasionally creepy, sometimes luridly poetic, yet barely distinguishable hauntings.

This intriguing drama is steeped in the eeriness of the rural world and in an era of radical transformations. The characters are portrayed by solid and powerful actors, alongside the Somerset house. Colin Morgan portrayal of Nathan Appleby is outstanding and on a totally different level, worthy of accolades and praise. The direction is brilliant, the cinematography is breathtaking and at times creates an eerie, unsettling feeling within the viewer while the music draws you in. This show pulls you in and doesn't let you go until the very end. There is a lot to enjoy about this series.… Expand
