Close to Me

Jo seems to have it all, a loving family, a great home, success, one thing she's missing however, her memory, after waking up from a fall, she's missing the last year of memories.

It gets off to a pretty frustrating start, the early episodes are pretty slow, and padded, but my advice is stick with it, from part 4 onwards, it goes up a few gears, it becomes way more intense and a lot more engaging, the last two episodes I thought were excellent.

It's a good old fashioned mystery, you'll have to put the pieces of the jigsaw together, it's very satisfying when it call comes together.

It is beautifully filmed and shot, it looks and sounds awesome, superbly produced. The best element for me, the acting, what a terrific cast, each person gets their chance to shine, and they do.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, 8/10.

Ecclestone is always great. Enjoyed this show. Stunning visuals. Well directed. Intelligently written.

We thoroughly enjoyed the series and were left guessing until the end, expecting a fantastic twist or big 'reveal', but disappointingly the end was much duller than we expected.

Unfortunately, the '8' we would have given the series has been reduced to a 6 because of this.

Don't waste your time with this 6 hours that could have been told in 1 or 2. Not a bad story and a bit different, but the two main characters are both annoying and I struggled to like either of them.

I enjoy slow burn drama but this was excruciatingly dragged out. The characters never really took off - especially Christopher Eccleston's part - he seemed awkward and wooden, not helped by the uninspired writing. At most this is a four part, even three part drama. Consequently it was diluted and not in the slightest bit compelling - which is a crying shame because the synopsis and setting had great potential.
