La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert

On episode 4 in U.K. and had to buy the book to find out what happens! A real page turner with twists and turns! The tv series really does credit to the book I think! Still look forward to the tv show every week even though I know what happens! Best thing I've watched in ages and the best book too!

The story is interesting, that's why I've kept watching it. I think of the whole cast, the only one able to pull a decent enough peformance is Patrick Dempsey, everyone else's acting is uncomfortable to watch. Seriously, you have to actively concentrate on the plot or else the over-the-top acting will distract you. It's strange because I've seen most of the cast in other things here and there and they were fine so I'm guessing the strange over-acting is something that was asked of them? I don't know, it's just weird. The make up is also terrible, so that is quite distracting as well. That being said, if you hang in there, the plot will pull you along. It's a fun little thriller show to watch on a lazy Sunday, just don't expect Oscar worthy performances.

This is actually a very good who dunnit rather than a story about an affair. A lot of negative reviews were based on the first 2 or 3 episodes. Let me tell you, it gets better and better as it goes on. Not to spoil anything, but there are a lot of twists and turns and you do not know what really happens until the end. Like I said, watch it all and you will enjoy it. It is a ride.

After reading somewhere that there where 8 episodes, I was watching tonight with a sense of thank "God that's done and also, oh I am actually going to miss this." However it turns out that there are more than 8. So far I have really enjoyed it. At first I did think it was a bit weird with the age thing but I think it was made clear in an episode (where they stayed away and harry said he slept on the terrace or wherever, but basically not with her) made me feel like yeah actually this is a rare story of actual love not lust. I think it has been a slow burner that normally I would have given up on by now but it seems to keep drawing me in. It has spent a lot of time on one person that could have done it, However, It may be late in the day but now you start looking at everyone in a different way. So yes I do recommend this as a mild "who done it" . Wouldn't rave about it, but I'm intrigued and am looking forward to finding out the truth. As for the comments on the make-up and ageing, (the first episode I did think it was a bit unrealistic) who cares, after watching it for it's worth, make-up and hair is not something I have been paying attention to.

Granted, Dempseys make up isnt great, but the show had me sucked in from the get go. The acting is good and Dempsey and his 'prodigy' are believable as their characters. No complaints here!
