Undeniable

Mini? It was over before we knew it. One disk, 2 episodes. That's it. We bought the series to see Claire Goose, an actress we enjoyed in the long-running WAKING THE DEAD. Also included is Peter Firth of MI-5 fame, and veteran player, Pippa Haywood, as a sympathetic detective.

Claire plays Jane Phillips, a young wife and mother whose own mom was mysteriously murdered over 2 decades before. While having a physical, she notices a doctor who looks like the killer and reports him. No one believes her - except one cop, who will be furloughed shortly (Pippa). We initially have our doubts, especially when a DNA test meets with unexpected results.

An interesting show-however, typically a true mini-series runs 4 hours-this one was less than 2. I had this series sent from the UK for a premium price. There was certainly room for more character & plot development, but I will credit the writers for coming up with a fresh twist on Forensics (one that sent us scurrying to the WWW for verification).



8/10

I a great movie to watch for a couple of hours during the weekend, or a win down before bed. The acting is solid and I am dang tired of the crap they are putting out these days. The blow up and outs, the screaming, head-banging music, the gore! I really enjoyed this. Family friendly, overall. I don't have to be a pretend professional critic snubbing my nose at a perfectly fine film. I just like it. Thanks for reading. :)

I can't help thinking the writers of this drama happened upon the interesting fact that gives the end its twist and decided to write a 'what if' story so that they could present us with said interesting fact. The plot and characters were hugely undeveloped. There is no reason given for the murder of Jane's mother. Everyone seems to have moved on with their lives and its hard to feel invested in any of the characters. Having said all that it is a pretty decent British drama with some wonderful actors in it so not a waste of time watching at all. I'm just disappointed that the story wasn't fleshed out more, that there wasn't some surprising twist uncovering the events surrounding the murder and telling us why it happened - It could have been gripping.

Pippa Haywood makes any show worth watching, and this one is no exception. Quite gripping story. I felt for Jane, when her own husband, instead of supporting her, didn't believe her, and left her. All in all well worth watching, and a thousand percent better than the crap on TV now.

I dont think i drank too much whilst watching this, but I dont think we got a reason for the murder?! I enjoyed it, but with no reason for a brutal murder, i cant mark it any higher.
