After only one episode it's clear that the more we learn about each of them, the more we will want to know. Read full review

White Heat is a bold, fabulously written (if at times overbearing) chronicle of the political and social changes which sweep through Britain beginning in the mid-1960s. Read full review

As White Heat covers so much historical ground--and offers a range of aging makeup effects--it suffers on occasion from a lack of humour. Read full review

Nothing here is especially hot, perhaps, but compared with the best period dramas currently on TV, it is pretty pallid. Read full review

But the first episode just lacked. Lacked passion, enthusiasm, and anything compelling to make me stick around. The main character - during the "look-back" sequences - is mildly interesting, but her older incarnation is completely devoid of personality. The "player" guy in the flat is not nearly charismatic enough to carry his role. And the foreign-born student is sympathetic, but not enough of his story was planted in the first episode to make one interested. This is the mistake that many dramas make. If you can't interest the viewer out of the gates, you're going to lose him.… Expand
