Colateral

I don't understand all the low reviews. I found this series to be very riveting. It was multi-layered with characters stories intertwined. I was sorry when it was over.

The pizza supplier, an illegal economic refugee, is shot after a delivery. It looks like a contract killing. Detective Inspector Kip Glaspie investigates.

The case is solved conclusively, but relatively without tension. In the end it wasn't clear to me what purpose all the subplots should have had. The mini-series isn't exciting enough for a thriller. Too superficially treated as a refugee or military drama. Quite ok, but nothing more.

The movie has some serious issues in its core. Now I understand that some may feel like the movie is a bit lacklustre and does not give you the whole picture on some things or goes all the way. It also feels for some that some of the actors may be wasted. But that is up to you to decide, I personally think they are all doing more than a decent job.

It's four parts and it works quite neatly. It tackles subjects that have many sides and blurry lines, because you don't have just black and white. There's a lot of gray areas and a lot of characters who may think they are doing the right thing, but ultimately, what is really a right thing? Who does judge and who can tell? So while it may not go too deep, it still has enough to be worthwhile

Can someone tell me why a likely assassin, after a well-executed mission, would leave a phone behind in a unsecured place?

This is TV. This is drama... All I see in the reviews are polarised views on Brexit / Build a wall / Make Britain Great Again vs. Hippyism / Leninism / stalinism...

Is that what it's become? two completely inconsolable halves?

The whole idea of this show was as that there ARE no clear divides between what is white and what is black. When Kip said "we are the people." she meant it... We are not Politick. We are not Robotic. We are not Servants. We are people. We are humans. We each deserve case by case assessment...

Of course, this show was also demonstrating that this would be impractical in any sense....

still... top marks for acting and raising to our attention the plight of both foreigners in the UK and the services that have to deal with them either for or against their own opinion of what is right.
