Born to Kill

The teenagers in this were perfect, totally 3 dimensional and realistic to their circumstances. It doesn't feel plot line convenient that they were friends solely down to the way they interacted together.

Could've done with a 5th final episode though just to give more substance to the final drama.

Psychological thriller, really well done. Great acting and somewhat believable. Worth the watch, even for a second time I loved this mini series.

It's a slow burner, but stick with it! You'll be swept along on a wave of anticipation and prickly evil Superb casting melancholic music and demonic lighting create an atmosphere of swirling impending threat. The acting is spot on, and the camera work deserves recognition, it's a great piece of work. Can't wait for the finale!

I felt obliged to write this review after just finishing the final episode. I'd missed the series when it was initially aired but so glad I discovered it.

It tells the story of a troubled teenager who dotes on his mother. As the series progresses I felt more attached to the character.. As Sam learns more about his dad, you see the similarities build. To devastating effects.

It might be a slow burner for some, but certainly worth sticking with it. I thought it was thoroughly entertaining. With a few twists and unexpected shocks, I thought it was a great four parter.

Reminded me of "Psycho", and even more so the recent series "Bates Motel" which was suppose to be a "Psycho" prequel. A comment by our 16 yr. old central figure connects the three movies/series, "I'm a man now. I'm all grown up. I can take care of you now.", in reference to his now dominating his "single" mom. A sub-theme, behind the tragedies, is whether a psychopath is primarily the result of genetics or environment (of course some of each, but just looking at primary sources).

Disturbingly well acted; you will never trust a smiling courteous person again after seeing this. Background sound effects, and music were spot on appropriate. Negatives are: Need a more creative title; ending could have used a bit more thought; research by the writers as to an unconscious person under water for some time is still using O2, and upon first consciousness will gulp in water which obviously is not good.
