The Pact

I caught this show accidentally. I had no plans to watch it until I saw trailer.

The characters are great the plot was very interesting on both seasons. It pulled me in and made me watch both seasons in three days.

There is nothing I would change about this movie other than the characters did repeatedly wear the same clothes on different days.

This movie gave a twist to the plot and the things that happened I wouldn't have expected.

Both seasons were jaw dropping and made me crave more. I hope there are more seasons to come. I look forward to watching more episodes. Great job everyone!!!!!

What to say? I lost interest by the third episode but continued watching in the hope of some improvement. Unfortunately there wasn't. There are some good actors but bad dialogue and ridiculous storylines, its really just like an extended version of Eastenders. There are no surprises, no tension, just a lot of people looking mournfully at each other. Its okay for a rainy afternoon when there's nothing else to do, but don't expect too much.

It's a decent enough set-up and reasonably well acted, but when the big twists came they were pretty ridiculous really.

It's the usual BBC PC affair of course. Would they make a drama where some guys take an unpopular woman boss into the woods, take her trousers down and photograph her as a "prank" and then make the people who did that the sympathetic heart of the story? I think not.

And are we expected to feel sorry for the murderer and accept that he/she had no choice and that it was all OK because the victim was a nasty piece of work?

Ultimately you're left thinking "all they had to do was to admit what happened and they'd have been fine".

Worth a watch but not amazing.

Contrary to the other reviewers, I was totally gripped. It does, I must agree, spend a little too much time on the initial 'joke' actions of the four main protagonists, but it is a delightfully situated story. No idiotic car chases or violence, just a nice plot and super cast of actors. I will certainly watch it again. Just wish there were more series like this :-)

What's really upsetting is the MSM reviewers saying they like it. Despite it being on BBC it has all the cachet of an ITV thriller. A good cast, ludicrous two dimensional characters. Every line flat as a pancake. Every single trope you've ever seen is thrown into the mix. Every 'twist' is signposted like a motorway. You just know we'll be given one red herring after another until they need to install traffic lights in 'the woods'.
