La viuda

What could have been an incredible mystery, political conspiracy film left me asking "what was the point of that?" by the end of episode 7. If you were shocked by any of the "twists" places in the story you should broaden your horizons a bit more. The story had so much potential and sadly fell incredibly short. The best part of the show is Kate Beckinse's amazing hair which magically stays perfectly curled even while walking through a jungle for days. It was truly my favorite part of the show.

I really can't understand why people got hung up on her appearance. First of all she still looks beautiful. Secondly it is an excellent show with a lot of beautiful imagery. I definitely do think it flips and flops back-and-forth way too much regarding the time sequences. I also think that it leaves a lot of "hanging chads" . Several doors get opened that never get answered. This is a definite weakness of the show. Yet it does involve you in the characters lives and definitely holds your interest. I will not spew out all the plot details. My overriding thought and sentiment is that it is a show worth watching with a good performances and beautiful scenery. Give it a shot.

Three years after her husband disappeared due to a plane crash in Congo, his 'widow' discovers faint traces that he may still be alive. She flies down to Africa and starts an investigation that may be clumsy (she does not even speak French), but her stubbornness takes her through in one piece somehow. What she finds is however not what she expected, and to unknown enemies, her investigation about the plane crash is not welcome...

Well entertaining TV series, at 8 episodes neither too short to develop a certain complexity and interesting characters, nor too long to maintain suspense. I watched it in only three days because I was eager to find out how it continues, a very good sign. Familiar faces among the actors include Charles Dance ('Game of Thrones'), Alex Kingston ('Doctor Who') and of course Kate Beckinsale ('Underworld').

As with many of the other reviewers. I was completely enthralled from episode 1 until the end of 6. Then episode 7 starts and I immediately began to feel the let down. By the time episode 8 hits I'm left asking myself "really is this it"? This show had so much potential but it sputtered at the end.

Pretty good tale, I watched it all the way through and found some of the twists and turns to be clever and compelling. That said, I feel like the writers relied way too heavily on the tired old mechanism of unnecessarily sending people off on their own into dangerous situations when there's no good reason to do so, just so something bad can happen... bleah, pure lazyness. I liked this okay but too many of those moments when you know something will go wrong, and it does.
