Innocent

I really enjoyed this. I've pretty much ran out of new series ( I've been watching all the UK crime ones) and found this last night. I like how they keep you guessing throughout, did he didn't he. Well acted and good script. Stayed up til almost 4am watching all 4. I clapped at the end. Haha. I don't know why but I did. I highly recommend if you are into these type of series. Very good one!

We've just finished watching INNOCENT on Israeli cable TV and thoroughly enjoyed this excellent four part mini-series. The first three episodes kept me spellbound and whilst the ending was somewhat contrived, it's still an excellent drama.

The excellent production has a wonderful cast and stars Lee Ingleby and a host of talented British actors. The story is set in beautiful scenery which only adds to the atmosphere. Great TV!

The first season of Innocent was released in 2018, four episodes of solid writing and acting. I thought it was canceled as I didn't see a season 2 in 2019. Then lo and behold season 2 shows up in 2021. Not totally unusual, the great Swedish police procedural "Beck" started in 1998 and about every two years or so another few episodes come out.

Season 1 & 2 are separate stories with new actors. Hope there is a season 3 next year.

Ticked all my boxes, a decent script, well directed, good performances from all. From start to finish it kept me hooked, and the story was plausable, unlike some dramas. Well worth viewing, and I liked the four consecutive night scheduling, as waiting for a month to find the truth, is frustrating for some of us.

This a fine piece of television with a constantly weaving story line that keeps you rivited to your seat. All the characters are well acted and the direction is top class. Best of all, it keeps us thinking - there is no chance to nod off or or pop out to put the kettle on - you'd miss too much. The atmosphere of the coast comes through really well - Hayling Island near Portsmouth is a relatively unknown place to non-boating folk and has a bit of a reputation as a caravan/holiday camp place yet the atmosphere really comes alive here. Great atmospheric cinematography that never gets in the way - no gimmics just good.

But on UK transmission, something is very wrong with the sound - especially the outdoor scenes. It sounds like it wasn't recorded properly - almost just as though they used the built-in mic on the camera! They've used a lot of compression to try to make it more distinct and ADR people are in the credits so it doesn't make a lot of sence. Oh well, we must not let it spoil a great piece of TV but please ITV, get your quality control working!!!!!
