Blindspot

Ross Kemp is wasted in this series as he is a great actor and a very believable in any role. The storyline was predictable and spoilt by all the other actors in particular Gerry, Hannah and Amber - they were so weak in their performances that it made me cringe every time they spoke

Dolly was a very good actress and I liked her a lot

It's great to see Ross Kemp back as an actor - he deserves far better programmes to be in than this though. I don't think he should stick to documentaries either...Ross Kemp has been missed and I would watch him in anything

Welcome back to mainstream acting Ross!

Some of the worse Tv your likely to see. Made of a budget of about 20 quid. Awful acting. Terrible writing and it honestly takes itself so seriously that it becomes a comedy. How this was ok to transmit to the public I don't know.

Shot in Hungary doubling from a no named British town, even though nothing looks English.

Phoning it in from Kemp would be a complement. You can tell he doesn't wanna be there.

The girl in the chairs real disability is her acting. She's horrible.

The writing feels like one of those week day afternoon BBC dramas. They ones no one watches. Please. Just don't waste 4 hours of your life.

Ok, it's pretty implausible but still I found it fun to watch! I like the main character: Hannah. I have watched 2 episodes so far; hope that her back story is told at some point. Why is her hair gone in episode 2? I like the fact that her work buddy is a fantasy nerd. But also seems like he could be her best friend.

Her voyeuristic life behind the CC is not a new idea; seen "Rear Window"? But it works for me as the spunky woman who can't stop. Or is she really a "stupid" girl which seems to be everyone's adjective for her.

Both parents dead? Was she in an accident? Why did Zoe's father speak to her in such a terrible way?

One thing: twice they called Hannah "Ruby" and once Amber's mother called her "Emma". What the heck????

It is quite clear that Ross Kemp has the presence to be in a hard-hitting police drama of quality. It is not difficult to imagine him as a short-tempered, rough-handed detective, and, unlike many actors who play such roles, he would actually be plausible as a character who can hold his own when it comes to dealing with violent criminals.

This makes it all the more disappointing then that he is wasted in this amateurish attempt at a drama. The dialogue is bad and riddled with cliché to the point of being insulting, and sounds like it was written by school kids, and not particularly well-read ones.

The show looks cheap, and a tree could act the cast off the screen. So wooden are the actors, they could be used to make the coffins their acting careers are surely to be buried in.

The main character is a box-ticking irritant who garners no empathy from the viewer, due to her obnoxious personality and because of the narcissistic and heartless way she treats her friends. That she is motivated only by self-interest, is epitomised by her threatening to kill an innocent dog in order to extract information from a terrified woman. How are we supposed to like this person? Were the writers banking solely on the fact that she is a wheelchair user for the audience to warm to her?

This of course removes any potential tension, because you really don't care whether or not she survives

A character needs to be likeable in order for the audience to care about their plight. Instead they go with an insufferable busy-body who makes you wish the killer had done us all a favour while he had the chance, and spared us everything that followed.

Of course, it is 2023, so Ross Kemp, on the rare occasions he appears on-screen (despite him being the reason most of us bothered to tune in in the first place) portrays an incompetent man, who has to be told how to do his job by a woman - a wheelchair-using one at that.

Incidentally, it is rather telling that the only positive reviews here mention superficial things about the showcasing of disabilities, which are irrelevant as to whether or not this is a compelling and worthy story.

The 10 star reviews are very suspicious, almost as though they were written by Beth Alsbury's friends, or by those more interested in virtue-signalling than the quality so blatantly lacking in this show - and of course we get the obligatory accusations of bigotry for daring to point out how poor Beth Alsbury's acting was in this show - She would fit perfectly into Hollyoaks.

But then she was not helped by just how insufferable her character was, or by the appallingly bad dialogue, and perhaps she would fare better with a likeable character and with a script written by adults.

Early in the story, when the young lady wheeled herself out of danger faster than the bad guy could run, I knew the writing would not be stellar; but many of the scripts today leave much to be desired. The viewer must pay attention to the opening act to get the personalities & relationship of the main characters; Better editing may have made the story follow a bit more smoothly. I was waiting for a reason Hannah had shaved hair one year later but none was ever given.

Hannah, in my opinion, was not a likeable character, none of them were actually, but the who-done-it aspect held my attention throughout. Everyone was less than honest, forthcoming & helpful, and looked guilty and/or possibly involved at some point. Many twists & turns. I didn't expect the ending; I was glad I stuck with it.
